“To create something exceptional, your mindset must relentlessly be focused on the smallest detail.” – Giorgio Armani

After a wedding ceremony, guests head to the reception to enjoy drinks and dinner. In order for guests to find their assigned seats, table numbers or place cards are set on the arranged table. Elegant signage is a small detail that guests will appreciate as they take their seats. For a sneak peek to what’s being served, a printed menu card is a sophisticated touch for guests to preview. You can find inspiration for table number and menu cards in our blog, so continue reading!

Table Number Cards

When it comes to table number cards, the first few numbers are usually reserved for immediate family members. Placing numbers 1-5 in the front tables of the reception venue is customary so the family can be close to the bride and groom’s table. Of course, the number cards can be designed to the couple’s preference, so they can choose from freestanding cards, cards with a stand, or even unique burlap wine bags.

Place Cards

Place cards indicate both the table and the specific seat for each guest and are ideal for sit-down dinner receptions. It’s a formal way for guests to be directed to the correct seating, particularly if tables are more spread out. Place cards are folded so guests can view their name on the front and back. Tip: Keep it simple by writing the guest’s first and last name. As for the card itself, the lettering and paper material can be personalized. Some customizations include scripted lettering, colored ink, gold shimmer paper, and more.

Menu Card

Menu cards are not a requirement, but they are great for communicating the details of the meal to guests. For buffet-style catering, it’s an easy way to share food options and give guests courtesy of knowing what to expect. Menu cards should include a brief welcome, followed by the description of the courses being served. Select from card options such as black raised ink, accent lettering, and more.
