If your wedding table set-up is missing some final touches, stunning place cards are great embellishments to consider. Not only are wedding name place cards aesthetically pleasing, but they can also make all the difference when it comes to how organised your party is. When planning the necessary wedding stationery for an upcoming wedding, however, many couples only think of wedding invitation cards and save the date cards – wedding place cards are often overlooked. When you have place cards and table numbers at your wedding, your guests can feel more special as wedding place cards printed with their names prove that you have thought of them and really want them to be there. Giant Invitations can customise elegant wedding reception name cards to match your wedding theme perfectly.

If you need more convincing that place cards for wedding are a must-have at your event or if you want more inspiration for your place cards, read on as we address the top questions about wedding name cards.
Why do we need name cards for wedding tables?
Wedding table place cards are worth-having at your event as they can:
Create order at your event
Wedding guests typically take a lot of time choosing seats at a wedding, making the event less organised and the schedule of activities lag. With placement cards assigning where each guest should be seated, you can get on with your wedding program more smoothly.
Help your guests find their seats
Choosing seats can be overwhelming for some guests especially if they don’t know too many people at your wedding. With a seat assigned for them beforehand, they can be seated more comfortably. Name cards for wedding tables give them a personalised experience as well, making your wedding more memorable for them.
Encourage your guests to get to know each other
Not everyone seated at the same table knows each other, so table cards with names printed on them can help your guests learn each other’s names more conveniently. This way, you can also prompt conversations amongst your guests.
At Giant Invitations, you can have your place cards customised in any size, colour, material, or printing finish that you think will represent you best at your wedding. Some of our best print finish options include foil stamping, letterpress, embossing, laser-cut, pocket-style, and deckled-edge style. Our designers will create samples for you according to your vision, and we offer unlimited revisions until you are completely satisfied with the outcome as well.
What to consider when choosing a design for place cards?
Picking out a theme for your wedding, selecting colours to match your wedding venue, and planning other fun details are just some of the joys of getting married. But having to choose from a wide range of options, like when choosing a design for your wedding place cards, can sometimes be overwhelming. To narrow your options for your place card design, consider your wedding theme. If you are having a beach wedding, a watercolour print is a great choice. As for black-tie themes, a simple calligraphy design is ideal. Aside from the look of your place card, also consider the size. You don’t want a place card that is too small that it makes reading difficult nor one that is too big that it blocks your guests’ views and takes up too much space on the table.
Giant Invitations will take care of everything from designing your place cards to printing them to having them delivered to you. We have our own presses, so we can print cards in all sizes, materials, inks, and colours. We don’t just print on paper; we can also print on unique materials such as textured kraft stocks, heavy-weight cotton stocks, mirror surfaces, hardcovers, acrylic, velvet, cork, and many more. You can even choose from over 200 colours.
What can be printed on wedding place cards?
Because it’s your wedding, you can print whatever you like on the seating cards for your guests. You can include your favourite quotes, a photo of you and your partner, or the date of your wedding. At a bare minimum, make sure your place cards contain the full name of your guest and their designated table number. Table seating cards can also be colour-coded or printed with a symbol to indicate your guest’s meal preference, if any.
