 | Wedding place card holders can be a wonderful wedding accent for your special day. While the cards subtly direct and organize the seating at your reception, the holders set an elegant tone to your dinner. The main purpose of the holders is to display the guest’s name card, which will assist in helping your guests locate their designated seats. If you are planning a reception with open seating, then use a place card that also serves as table decor. |
Regardless of your seating plans, your guests will love finding a favor waiting for them, as a place card holder is usually also a gift for your guests to bring home. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Although many prefer the classical picture frame type there are modern pieces that also come in a variety of shape and sizes.
There are dual purpose holders (which are used both as a card holder and also as a box to store other favors such as sweets and cakes) funny or humorous shaped holders, and novelty holders. The list seems to go on and on.
It all boils down to your personal choice and budget and it also depends on your chosen wedding theme. Remember, there are always a variety of place card holders out there to suit the tone and setting of the dinner.
There are various aspects to consider when selecting your place card holder. The style and location of your dinner should play a major role in this decision. Generally speaking, for a formal reception that is in a hotel, go with an ornate holder. For a less formal dinner you may have a wider choice available according to the theme. You can match the color of your card holder to your wedding decorations. Keep in mind that it is thoughtful for the host to provide the guests with a keepsake to remember the occasion; it will be appreciated and remembered by your guests!
