Place Cards
How to choose place cards
Material
Material splits keepsake from disposable. Wood and acrylic suit weddings, paper suits single use Party Supplies.
Colour
Colour match matters. Ten options like silver, pink, and green tie into your scheme.
Personalisation
Personalisation adds a proof step. Weigh accuracy against the two day dispatch delay.
Sub-type
Sub-type focus varies. Arts & Entertainment leans to signs and numbers, Party & Celebration to named seats.
Turnaround
Plan turnaround early. Proof approved orders need approval before the two day dispatch starts.
What's good
- Wood or acrylic place cards feel solid and can be kept after the event. Paper and card versions are disposable.
- Custom orders with proof approval let you correct spellings before production. This suits large wedding guest lists.
- The colour range covers white, brown, silver, black, grey, pink, gold, green, blue, and dark olive. Matching your decor is simple.
- Card or cardstock cards stay light. They slip into invitation envelopes for Arts & Entertainment mailers.
Things to watch
- Acrylic and wood place cards weigh more than paper or card. They can slide on polished tables and add postage weight.
- Items with proof approval dispatch in two days after you sign off. Late orders face a waiting step.
- Silk and linen materials mark from food and drink. They are poor for messy Party & Celebration meals.
- Gold coloured pieces look smart but limit later reuse with different colour themes.
Care & maintenance
Wipe solid materials
Wipe wood or acrylic with a damp cloth, then dry straight away. Avoid soaking the engraved detail.
Flat storage
Store paper and cardstock flat in a folder to stop curling before the event.
Soft textiles
Keep silk or linen cards away from humidity, and press on low heat if they crease.
Plywood care
Avoid bending birch plywood tags, as the engraved edges can splinter.
