Place Cards, Holders and Settings

Table settings are an important part of the wedding day. From the moment your guests arrive at the wedding breakfast, they will be looking at the tables and looking for their seats. It is important to choose a table setting that reflects the style of your wedding. Whether you are having a formal sit-down meal or a more relaxed buffet, there are many different ways to dress the tables.

If you are having a sit-down meal, then place cards are a must. Place cards can be anything from simple white or cream cards with names written in calligraphy, to more elaborate designs with ribbon or diamante embellishments or ornate edged place cards that you can write yourself. The most important thing to remember when setting your tables is that everything should coordinate and your place cards will often follow the design of your wedding invitations and stationery.

If you are having a buffet, then place cards are not essential but can be a nice way to guide to tell your guests what's on the menu.

Table name card holders come in many different styles, from simple metal clips to more ornate designs. Choose a style that coordinates with your place cards and table setting. These can also be used to add instructions to a signing table for your wedding guest book.

Place cards, holders and settings can be a great way to set the tone for your wedding day. Coordinating everything with your wedding invitations and stationery will help keep the look and feel of your wedding consistent from start to finish.
