Inspiration ~ Place cards and holders
A place card is a card with a guest’s name on it which indicates where they are to sit. This is different from an escort card, that tells a guest at which table they are to sit. Place cards are essentially a necessity at any large wedding and also for large banquets. I like to use place cards for dinner parties also. Place cards let the hostess seat guests next to or across from those they would feel the most comfortable with and gets the guests seated while you are putting the final touches on your dinner, or bringing it to the table. Place cards make the guests feel special, like you took the time to prepare a place special just for them.
