Ever wondered if you needed place cards for your event? Maybe you’ve questioned if they’re even useful?Let’s discuss 3 reasons you need place/escort cards for your next event!

Place cards (also known as name cards) individually identify your guests’ names, and are placed on tables at your event to assign seats to guests. Place card designs are limitless! From elegant, handmade paper to painted, acrylic plates, you can choose a style that fits what you’ve envisioned for your special event. For place card ideas, check out my current work here.

Easy Guidance

Being able to efficiently and effortlessly guide guests to their seats will help decrease crowds and manage traffic flow to the dining tables. It is best to reduce the unknown when it comes to guests finding their seats. You can lessen the pressure by allowing your guests to depend on you for direction by using place cards.

Personalized Welcome 

Imagine how special your guests will feel arriving at their designated seats, and seeing their names written in beautiful calligraphy on the place cards you designed just for them! Place cards are a thoughtful, elegant way to welcome each attendee. As an added bonus, they can take home their personalized place cards as an event keepsake. 

Control and Comfort

Usually the host of the event is the common denominator among all the invitees. In other words, you know best how your guests will mingle and mesh with each other. Therefore, place cards are the perfect tool to allow you to control where guests sit, and ensure that they are comfortable with their tablemates. 

So, as you decide whether place cards will be useful for your event, remember to consider how you want your guests to feel. You want attendees to feel excited, but not stressed, about finding their seats, and you want them to feel welcomed and at ease with others at their table. Trust me, your guests will appreciate and enjoy the event even more knowing you thought of them.
