Place Cards?

MrsD, on July 8, 2019 at 4:33 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 18

We are assigning tables & seats. If you did this, how did you do place cards? We don't need escort cards since their name will be at their seat.

Our seating chart is a large window frame, and the tables will be clipped individually into each "frame" for the 16 tables.

I'm looking for a way to do this at home, without having to individually write each name. Can I print them? Is there a way to print fold over place cards at home? Does Kinkos or Staples do it? I looked on Zazzle and unfortunately I can only buy the actual card from them, then I have to write each name myself. I don't have good handwriting so it wouldn't work out great for me.

Show me your place cards!

    I would think you can print on flat cardstock and then fold them in half yourself. I want to say that Microsoft Publisher may have some options for this to get the spacing right.

    These come in sheets and there is a template you can use to print all the names.

    We ordered ours from basic invite and they printed the names for us! But we also did the acrylic flat lay ones as opposed to tented (they were cheaper!)

    I didn’t realize place cards and escort cards weren’t the same thing loll. Im following because im not sure if I want to do assigned seating or not. I really dont want to think about who sits where & with whom lol

    I had the shop on Etsy where I purchased my invitation suite do my place cards and all the other day of items. Perhaps you could have someone on Etsy do these?

    Google Avery Tent Cards.. It's the template to use on Microsoft word. You can then buy the Avery paper it is formatted for and it will print accordingly.
