Place Cards!

Joey, on September 25, 2018 at 14:58 Posted in Wedding reception 0 10

Let's look at some stationary! Your guests need to know where to sit, and if you're not doing a seating chart you'll probably be relying on escort cards, or place cards. How will you be personalizing them?

Show us what will guide your guests you to their seats.

    I'm doing a seating chart, so no place cards for me? Unless we need them for catering to know where to put vegetarian/other dietary restriction dishes?

    Something printed for sure as I can get it super cheap at work! Likely not too fancy just a folded little card but I'll design it myself to match the rest of the theme/decor!

    I'd suggest going with fake, and I would suggest using spray paint as it will be MUCH faster.

    Cute umbrellas!Place Cards! 4

    We are having our escort cards be a bit more unique - some will have umbrellas like below (about 2/3s) and the rest will have tiny starfish attached to them to tell them what table they are at. At the seat themselves will just be standard folded name cards.

    I guess it would depend on how pretty the leaves are unless we buy fake leaves. If we end up going with fake leaves then probably as they would look too fake IMO

    It's beautiful. Will you color the back of the leaf as well?

    Escort cards were used for names to indicate what colour and number. The Thank you cards were personalized to let the guests know their seating at the actual table.

    We're doing a seating chart but everyone will have their names cut out of vinyl on their plates so they can go home and decal whatever they want after the fact!
