How to make wedding place cards?

Elevate the look and feel of your wedding celebration by making sure each detail is perfectly curated. Of course, this includes wedding place cards. A top invitations and print company will ensure your seating chart or wedding place cards are beautiful and photo-worthy. 

Make sure to also speak to your wedding planner about how your wedding seating chart or cards can reflect your wedding theme and style. 

PartySlate is here to connect you with the best print teams, wedding planners, and other party vendors. Head to our curated directory to search for the best event professionals near you. Make sure to filter by pro category, location, and event type to yield the best search results.

How to address wedding place cards?

While etiquette varies across cultures and eras, you want to ensure your guests feel welcome. With that in mind, we recommend omitting words like “plus one” or “guest” on your wedding place cards. Whenever possible, try to include each guest’s name.

From there, options vary. More traditional approaches include using titles such as Ms., Dr., Mr., etc. For a modern approach, you can omit the titles and just use first and last names. 

Additionally, you can list couples on one card or give each guest an individual escort card. The most important thing is to make your guests feel valued and part of the celebration.

Remember, your wedding planner is there to help you navigate these decisions. Make sure to speak to your planner on which style best suits your needs. For help finding a top wedding planner, head to PartySlate’s curated planner directory.
