Place card with rosemary sprigs
To create elegant and fragrant place cards, use what nature offers you, for example use sprigs of rosemary. With each branch you can form a circle, tie it with a piece of string and create paper labels with the name of the person who will be assigned the place. Then you can reuse the rosemary in the kitchen.
