Place Card Holders Ideas for your Wedding
Although seating plans are not that popular in the Middle East, some couples like the idea of having their guests seated according to a plan. If you like this idea you have to start by learning more about creating the perfect seating plan!
For those who are not familiar with the idea of seating plans or place cards, they are simply cards that your guests will take at the beginning of your wedding to know where they will be seated.
There are different types of place card holders for your wedding:
- You can place the cards at the entrance, written on each card is a table number for each guest to sit at according to how you've arranged the seating plan. (You will need an usher to stand at the table to help guests know where to sit.)
- You can have the names of your guests printed out on the cards, which are placed in front of each seat.
If you're planning on having a seating plan at your wedding it’s a nice idea to present the place cardholders in a creative way! Why? Because this is the first impression your guests get of your wedding.
Luggage Tags
The best way to choose your wedding place cards is to get inspiration from your wedding theme, like the wedding Zahra and Ziad in Lebanon, the couple had a romantic summertime wedding, their wedding's 'Travel Journey' theme was represented by some emblems of the travel industry: Seating cards were designed as luggage tags, table numbers stood high as Gate Numbers on the beautifully decorated tables
Keys
For a unique and vintage touch, have vintage keys attached to your place cards. Bride and groom Layla and George had beautiful vintage keys for their place cards to go with their charming heritage wedding in Lebanon.
Vintage Drawers with Flowers
Choose vintage drawers or boxes and have them filled with flowers to put your place cards in, like the ones from Amer and Rasha's destination wedding in Tuscany.
Fruits
Choose a fruit of your choice to be used as place card holders, lemons and oranges are the easiest to use for this. You can also use apples!
Lemons are perfect to use as your place card holders if you are having a lemon wedding theme!
Seashells
Seashell place cards are perfect for a summer outdoor wedding or a beach wedding. Take a look at Taline and Ali's beautiful wedding in Lebanon, as they pretty corals decorating their wedding tables.
