Place Card Display Ideas To Add The Finishing Touches To Your Wedding
Wedding planning is one of our favorite parts of throwing a wedding, and rightfully so. To be honest, we understand that it can be a little overwhelming, but that only lasts a while and is only true if you start without proper planning. To us, wedding planning sounds fun, and full of amazing experiences with surprises, making it a great adventure. As you decide on the color combinations and the wedding theme for your special day, we know that there are ideas for everything that pops into your mind and you may forget about some small details, which have a big impact on your wedding day. Since we know that you will have many details to plan and many things to do, we would like to take this time to discuss the tiniest detail in your wedding day decor - your wedding day place cards! A beautiful place card will make your wedding day look beautiful, and make your wedding guests feel special. Place cards will definitely add a brilliant touch to the wedding details and will give you amazing wedding photos too! Today, we will talk about pretty place cards that will help you add charming and finishing touches to your wedding day!
Let’s start off the list with something sweet and something nice with your wedding guests’ names on it - bite-sized desserts laden with the names of your guests! We absolutely love this idea simply because it is interesting and yummy. And let’s not forget it is colorful as well. Before we get into the different types of sweets that you can use for your wedding day, we will like to mention how to plan and place your place cards in the bite-sized sweets. The first idea is to have tiny flags fashioned out of colorful sheets of paper and stamp the name of your wedding guest along with the table number. Another idea is to have a small stick, paste the sticker on a piece of paper in the center and have the names of your wedding guests written on it with cute, flowy writing. Now, the pieces of paper can be colorful, or all of these place cards for your wedding can be in a similar color! You can also change the sheets of paper for your wedding’s place cards as per your wedding color scheme, it can be ombre or it can be an alternative. The choice of using colors will depend on what you like. Now, for the sweets, you can use a beautiful colorful macaron for each of your guests. Apart from this, you can have flavored muffins or even cupcakes with lovely frosting and sprinkles for your guests.
Similar to the previous idea, we’d like to bring your attention to something- something similar and something a little more fun. For your wedding guests, instead of using a muffin with a tiny flag on top, you can treat them to delicious cookies with glazed frosting. The reason why we’re attracted to this idea is simple: we love the fact that it is cute, and helps your wedding guests find something cute too. Also, another reason is that it is aesthetically pleasing. Since we live in the day and age of social media, most of your guests will be posting photos, so this will make for an amazing Instagram-worthy photo for your guests. You can put in an order for cookies in shape and size. You can have the cookies shaped as stars, as Santa if you’re throwing a winter wedding, or have it designed in any other shape that you find appealing. This will help you create a lovely detail for your wedding and have you make your guests smile. You can also ask your wedding caterer to add cute details, which can include names written on the cookies in different colors or have them written with pebbles made out of sugar! You can also ask your wedding caterer for ideas if they have some for your wedding. Additionally, you can choose pastel colors for writing their names on the cookie, this will fit into your summer wedding ideas and even work for a later spring wedding. You can also choose to include a few sprinkles. This will add a great touch to your wedding ideas!
This idea is one of our favorites. The reason why we love wedding place cards like this is simple, these are easy, and have a simplistic beauty to them. If you add lovely cursive lettering to the place card, it is just perfect! You can use these in a few different ways. The first way to use this idea is to have cursive lettering on all of your wedding guests’ names. You can place an order for this idea on different pieces of paper in the same color. Or you can also use it to create a color combination, similar hues as your wedding color theme, to marry in the details. You can also choose to keep it classy with a black place card, with lovely gold lettering. And the second idea to use this is as simple as adding a slim border to each of these cards! This will add brilliant details to your place cards. However, if you want to make it look prettier and make it look dreamy, we have you covered. Instead of leaving your place cards as is, you can have a couple of holes poked at the edge of the place card and add a small miniature bouquet to the place cards. The miniature bouquets can be an exact copy of your bridal bouquet or can be similar to the floral details you’ve added to your wedding. This will help you add more details to your wedding place cards and make them similar to the other details of your wedding day.
Another impressive idea that we absolutely recommend and adore is metallic hoop place cards! This idea screams eloquence and picturesque beauty. What we love the most about it is that it is minimal, and adds incredible beauty to your wedding tables. You can use this to create a modern place card. Although it goes well with just about any wedding decor and setting, we feel that it is the perfect addition to a minimalistic wedding tablescape. For this idea, you don’t have to do much. You can use a metallic hoop, the color is your choice and we’ll get into some ideas for you, and add a soft rectangular or flag-shaped tag with names for your guests. And to add more details, you can use small strings of greenery or even small strings of lavender for the metal hoops, to beautify them! You can also add more things to the metallic hoops, and pretty details, like small, dainty, and delicate ornaments. This adds to the look of the place cards.
This list will be incomplete without mentioning the most common and classic option for place cards - the folded place cards! We love these, and we love the simplicity they bring along with it. The folded place cards are pretty and cute. You can use these cards to add elegance and classy details to your wedding day. It can be as minimalistic as you want and it can have as many details as you want, the choice is yours. If you’re throwing a minimal wedding, then you can use this to add a pretty charm to the tables. For a minimal wedding, you can use a folded place card and have the name of your wedding guests put on the cards in flowy, cursive lettering. Another pretty idea for a minimal wedding is to have folded place cards and have the names of your wedding guests embossed on them. What’s more, these embossed place cards also work for a wedding that has retro wedding details! And if your wedding has ornate and big details, even so, this idea will work well for your wedding. You can use the folded place cards to add details. The card can have some elements from your wedding or can also have designs that are different from the wedding’s decor. You can throw in floating flowers, you can have images of Christmas ornaments if you’re throwing a wedding around Christmas, or have trees or shrubs added to the place cards, the choice is ultimately yours. We’re just saying that folded cards add finesse to your wedding day, and can have any kind of details that you want!
If you’re looking to add artsy details to your wedding day and want it to merge right into your wedding details, then this is the one for you! We love acrylic place cards because these offer you the opportunity to have something modern, something sleek, and something with unlimited possibilities. What stands out to us the most about these is that they can be used as transparent place cards, or can have colorful details to them. Another quality that stands out to us is the fact that you can shape the place cards as you, please! These flat place cards can be shaped like a hexagon, they can be rectangular, or even square, and the choices are limitless. Additionally, you can have the acrylic place cards have colorful splashes along with the name, this adds beauty and color to the place cards. Lastly, you can choose to display these at the table with all the place cards or you can have these place cards placed on the tablescape itself. You can have an elegant plate and napkin set up and leave the pretty place cards on them. To add more beauty and ideas to it, you can also add some colorful flowers to the napkin set-up or even add a twig of greenery. This idea works for all wedding ideas!
If you’re looking for something unique, then look no further than this idea! You can use small shards of crystals, such as pretty petalite, colorful calcite, vibrant agate, or even peachy rhodochrosite for your wedding’s place cards. For this, you can also use opal or black crystals as well. You can have the names of the wedding guests attending your wedding written on each shard and placed on a table. We feel that you can add colorful details to your wedding by using different crystal shards as place cards and by displaying them as per a beautiful color combination. However, there’s another way to have your crystal wedding place cards, and that is to have all of the place cards in the same color. If you’re thinking of using this unique idea for your wedding, you will need thin strips. You can also have these shaped alike to add synchronicity to the mix. This will help you add wonderful details to your wedding day. Also, if you’re a believer in crystals and their qualities, you can use the crystal that you love the most instead of picking these out at random or for the colorful properties. Whether you believe in the crystals and their powers, or you like them for the colorful beauty they add, we feel that crystal wedding place cards are perfect for a beach-themed wedding, a beautiful outdoor celebration, or a wedding with loads of colors!
Place cards, personalized ones especially, add an impressive touch to your wedding day. If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person and want your wedding guests to feel touched, you can add details to the place cards on your own.
