Weddings - Individual Place Cards

ndividual place cards for each guest are usually set on each of the tables at a wedding banquet in accordance with a table plan, to help each guest to find his or her correct seat. Place cards are often used in conjunction with table cards (which help guests to identify the correct table).

here are a good variety of quality printed place cards available at low cost from printers and stationers, and most couples seeking my services request that I add guest names in a handwritten style to the blank parts of their pre-purchased place cards, which I am always happy to do!
