Wedding Place Cards
Personalised Wedding Place cards are placed at each place setting to ensure guests sit in their designated seats.
Furthermore, seating cards help them find their seat quickly and easily and can include a few details such as whether they are vegetarian or gluten free, as this may help the waiting staff.
Additionally, consider printing details of their choices on the reverse for guests who have selected their meal in advance.
Please download the spreadsheet or email us and we’ll send you the spreadsheet if you wish to order personalised place cards with menu choices.
Alternatively if you wish to handwrite your own place cards we can supply them blank.
Order today on a choice of white or ivory hammered textured card, smooth white card or, for a more rustic look, brown kraft card.

What size should place cards be?
Wedding place cards can be sized to any bespoke size but they should always be large enough so that your guests can easily locate their seat at the table.
Place cards are tented for use on both sides and measure approximately 10 x 5 cm when folded.
When should I order my personalised Seating Cards?
Once you have received all your RSVPs back and know who is attending then that’s the time to start ordering on the day reception stationery.
Daisy Chain Invites have very quick turnaround times so you can be confident in ordering everything 2 weeks before your wedding day.
It’s not unknown for last minute changes to both table plans and seating cards so our short lead times take the stress and anxiety out of your final arrangements.
By ordering place cards at the same time as your other on the day stationery, you can also save on delivery charges.
What information can I include on my placement cards?
This format of your guests names really depends on how formal or informal you would like your reception to be. More formal wedding breakfast receptions would dictate that you include both Christian and surnames on the place card. It is not necessary to include titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, etc.)
For an informal buffet style reception you could just include the Christian name but be mindful of any possible duplication of names.
Make every effort to find out the names of any plus one guests, this will make them feel valued and included in your special day.
It is also acceptable to include the roles of your wedding party on their place cards. For example, Bridesmaid, Best Man, Mother of the Bride etc.
Handwrite or print my name cards?
Daisy Chain can supply your place cards blank if you prefer to ask a calligrapher to hand write your guest names, this does add a personal touch but can be more difficult to organise any last minute changes.
There is a huge variety of fabulous and fancy font styles available now and some of them do look very similar to handwritten calligraphy styles.
Whether you choose to handwrite them or print them, ensure all the information is correct and the text is legible and easy for guests to read on the day, whatever the lighting in the room.
Can I include menu choices on my name place cards?
If you want to include your guests’ menu choices on your wedding place cards this will make things easier for the waiting on staff. It is particular important that guests with allergies or special dietary requirements receive the correct meal.
We can indicate on the place cards if the selection is vegetarian, gluten free or vegan or highlight any allergies.
By including menu selections on the place cards you are taking the wedding arrangements to the next level by demonstrating an extra attention to detail.
You’ll impress those guests who, having pre-ordered their meal weeks in advance, may have forgotten what they had ordered.
Place cards with menu selections can be ordered for any special event including weddings, christenings, anniversaries or corporate dinners. We have also produced them for Christmas Parties.
Easily pocketed, they make the perfect little momento of the day
