The place card is a small but often eye-catching detail in the wedding table setting. It can serve as a personal gift for the guests or as a stylish element that complements your wedding theme. A place card at each seat is both practical and elegant. Choose the size and style carefully, but keep in mind that clarity is the most important factor. You can purchase ready-made cards or create your own—below, you’ll find inspiration for both options.
There is a wide variety of place cards available for purchase, but creating your own personalized place cards can also be a fun and meaningful touch. Here are some creative ideas.
Write the guest’s name with a calligraphy pen on beautiful paper and frame it in a frame that matches your wedding colors or theme. Alternatively, why not frame personal photos of each guest? After the wedding, the frame can be used to hold a thank-you card.
Handmade Place Cards
If you want to give your wedding a personal touch, place cards are an excellent way to do it. Invest in an ink stamp or a dot matrix printer and let your creativity flow.
Napkin Ring
Create a napkin ring using thick, elegant paper and write the guest’s name on it.
Small Gifts
Wrap small chocolate bars in stylish paper that matches your color scheme and attach a name tag for a charming touch.
Themed Place Cards
Fold a sturdy piece of paper so it stands upright on the table. Decorate it with seashells, pearls, dried flowers, or similar embellishments, and write the guest’s name with a calligraphy pen.
Natural Elements
Write the guest’s name on a beautiful stone or piece of driftwood and seal it with varnish for an elegant finish.
Who says place cards have to be one-dimensional? Consider printing the guest’s name on a matchbox or keychain that fits your theme. Or why not choose original place card holders that will spark conversation among guests?
