FAQs - Wedding Reception Place Cards

Ask us a question

How do I write or print on dark colored place cards?

Some of our place cards are very dark in color, such as Stardream Onyx (black), Lapis Lazuli (navy), and Bronze (brown). Because these cards are so dark in color, the words printed by a typical home printer will not show up, leaving many to wonder how to print or write their guests' names and table numbers on the cards. In these cases, metallic silver and gold calligraphy markers or gelly roll pens work well. The bright, light reflecting ink found in these markers is a bold contrast against dark place cards, making the writing really pop.

What information do I need on place cards?

Because we display some of our place cards with both a guest name and a table number, and some with just a guest name, customers commonly ask us how to properly word the place cards for their event. The answer to this question depends on the size of the event, and on personal preference.

Place cards are designed to inform your guests where they will be sitting during your event. For smaller, more intimate events such as birthday, anniversary, dinner parties, and even small weddings, you may have just a few tables set up for your guests' seating. In these cases, you may prefer to print just your guests' names on your place cards, and put them directly where the guest will be sitting. With only a handful of place settings to browse through, guests will have no trouble finding their name amongst the table or tables you have arranged.

However, if you are having a large, formal event, one with fifty guests or more, you will most likely have multiple numbered tables that correspond to a seating chart you have prepared. For these events, it is typically easier for both you and your guests to have place cards with both names and table numbers. This way, you can nicely arrange all of place cards near the entryway; guests can walk in, find their name, find the corresponding table number, and seat themselves with no confusion. You certainly do not want your guests to have to search table after table for their name.

We do offer place card printing. To order printed place cards, just select the order printed tab on the place card you would like to order, send us your guests' names and table numbers, then let us do the rest! Printing is sharp and professional, and most importantly, fast!
