Wedding Reception Non-Place Card Ideas?

I am getting married in 2 weeks and still need ideas for the place cards for the reception. The ceremony and reception are both outside, so I prefer not to use place cards, as they would probably just blow away! I need ideas for what else I could do. I was thinking of maybe putting a poster up on an easle, and just have everyone listed under their appropriate table number, but i don’t want it too look tacky, or hand-written. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

I made a poster on the computer (I used Microsoft Excel) and put an engagement picture of me and me fiance in the middle, with our names on the top of the poster. Along the sides of the picture, I listed the bridal party. Then I listed the guests names alphabetically, under the corresponding letter (all the ‘a’s under a big A) and listed their table number next to it so that it was easy for them to find. Then I emailed it to Staples Copy Center, and they made a poster out of it. It turned out very well.

Hope that helps!
