Place cards - Writing in or printing?

Kelly, on September 22, 2019 at 1:50 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 17
Are you going to physical handwrite all the place cards or use a printer? I’m struggling w/ deciding bc I found the perfect place cards & table numbers, but you cannot print them out - they will need to be handwritten. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Would you think it’s odd if your place card was handwritten instead of printed? The wedding is semi-formal. Or would you not care. The venue requires place cards w/ entrees selected on the back, so we must do place cards.

    I’m hand writing mine. So much easier for me than figuring out how to print them.

    Handwritten is actually the preferred thing, for both addressing envelopes, and place cards or escort cards. Seen as more personal, less business or commercial in presentation. It took me the length of one movie, about 2 hours, to handwrite 2 cards for each of 167 names . Getting the lists and addresses ready is the hard part. Simple names are easy. Eve. With breaks every few cards, it took me less time than 2 sisters who printed theirs, by the time they set it up, chose font, etc. Then they had to sort them by table. Or for chart. I made them out in sorted piles, easily. Not a big job.

    I think it'd be nice handwritten but I'd probably print to save time

    I think printed is more formal but if you have nice handwriting you can write them

    I’m probably going to handwrite. I found place cards & table numbers that I love & matches everything - but needs to be handwritten. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t super tacky if I hand wrote them.

    Yeah, my handwriting is very clean - my calligraphy isn’t the greatest but not awful. I struggle with writing straight - but the place cards in question has lines on them.
