Table and Menu Cards for a Wedding Reception

“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.

Conclusion

Wedding reception stationery is decorative and practical, so start designing your very own place cards and menu cards with Forever Friends. We use premium products and modern printing methods to get the best results. Shop our collection of reception cards and decorations online or contact us for customization help.

Parts of a Wedding Invitation

A wedding invite is much more involved than invitations for other parties. It can be a little overwhelming on first glance to figure out what parts of an invitation you actually need. Here’s a rundown of some essential wedding enclosures that you may want included in your invitation design.

Invitation Belly Band

You’ll undoubtedly have many separate paper enclosures within your wedding invitation that your guests will need to keep up with.  A belly band keeps all of these paper items neat and organized by holding them securely together.  It’s usually embellished with the couple’s name or initials, but it’s really up to you.

Map Card

Even in this day and age of GPS technology, it’s still a good idea to include a map card for your guests. You never know if someone’s phone may lose service or run out of a charge. A paper map is helpful backup for your guests to have.

Accommodations Card

If you have negotiated a special hotel rate for your guests, you may want to include that information on a separate accommodations card. The nightly rate, hotel phone number and any other pertinent information can be included on this wedding invite enclosure. If you have a block of hotel rooms that receive a special rate you will need to include instructions on how your guest can receive the discount price.

Response/RSVP Card

“It can be a little overwhelming on first glance to figure out what parts of an invitation you actually need. “

This is probably the most important part of the invitation. You need an accurate count of who will be attending. Your response card should clearly list the number of guests invited and a deadline for replying. The response card envelope should already be filled out with your return address and appropriate postage to make it as easy as possible for your guests to RSVP. If your guests have a meal choice, this is also included on the RSVP card.

Reception Card

A reception card is helpful if the wedding and reception are held in two different places. This will include the name and address of the reception venue and possibly a map, if you prefer. Don’t forget to put the time! You can state “immediately following the wedding ceremony,” or if there will be a bit of lag time due to photos or other events let your guests know by putting an exact reception time.
