Table Numbers
Table number cards are placed on tables to display the table name or number. They should be large enough to read without having to walk right up to the table. Table number cards are usually large tent fold cards, or flat cards in a holder. They are generally not so tall that they prevent guests seeing each other over the table. Explore Table Name Cards & Memorabilia Cards for something a bit out of the ordinary.
Table Name Cards
Table Names can be used instead of numbers when creating table assignments. You can choose names that accent the season of the celebration such as tree or flower names, or you may choose to create table name cards that relate to your history such as places you've traveled or old neighborhood memorabilia. You may use whatever names or phrases you would like for your cards.
Memorabilia Cards
Memorabilia Cards tell a story about a your life, interests and adventures. Trivia and Fun Fact Cards offer information about your intersts and hobbys. Quotes Table Name Cards reference "words of wisdom" by authors, artists or family and friends.
Place Cards
Place cards are placed at each place setting to ensure guests sit in the correct seats. They are only required if you have assigned guests to seats (not tables). If you are using tent-fold cards, write the guest’s name on both sides so that other guests on the table can also read it. Usually place card names will be in the format “Mr John Smith”, but you can use “John Smith” or “Mr J. Smith” depending on the level of formality you feel happy with. Using just the first name is obviously not recommended if there is more than one person with the same first name. Guest names can also be written on personalised favours or menus instead of using place cards.
Escort Cards
Escort cards show the name/number of the table a guest is seated at. It is usually inside a small envelope with the guest’s name written on the outside. Whether you prefer a seating chart or escort cards is a matter of personal preference. Escort cards can be changed up to the last minute unlike a seating chart. Escort cards are normally placed on a table, in alphabetical order, at the entrance to the venue.
