Not Your Mother’s Place Cards


These trendy place cards are definitely not your mother’s. Forget boring, folded-over pieces of paper. Brides and planners are proving that there are much more unique and fun ways to do place cards. Whether you’re assigning guests to specific tables or not, your guests will surely be impressed with unique designs like these as they enter your dining space.

As seen in the pictures above, specialty place cards can be made for weddings of any theme or season. Vintage and shabby chic weddings pair well with wooden coasters as place cards. Getting married outdoors? Try tying nametags around small succulents. Getting married in the fall? Consider using small pumpkins or squash.  All of these ideas can be altered for your special day too. For example, use peaches instead of pumpkins for a spring wedding.

Our Sarasota brides especially love these beach and nautical themed place card ideas.  Names can easily be written on shells, starfish, or sand dollars. Feeling really crafty? We love the look of these mini sailboat and origami fan designs. They’ll make for an extra special touch at your local or destination beach wedding!

You can also wow your guests by displaying your place cards in a unique way. For example, if you attach nametags to decorative keys, consider nailing them to a vintage door. Beach themed place cards look beautiful when displayed in large boxes and jars of sand.  You might even consider hanging your place cards with clothespins along ribbon. The possibilities are endless!
