Choosing Table Card Holders

by admin on November 28, 2009

A wedding is not necessarily a ceremony but an experience. Part of the wedding experience includes group gatherings both before and after the wedding day. In order to construct a methodical and outsta nding experience at wedding rehearsal dinners and receptions, consider the following features of place card holders as a fun yet  convenient way to keep your event running smoothly.

  • Contents. Place card holders are one of the most handy wedding decorations available. They are frequently used to help family and friends find their appropriate tables at a reception or some other wedding-specific gathering. They generally contain one or more of the following features in their design:
    • Guest names.  
      Most often place card holders are needed to direct guests to their chairs without the need for an usher. Regardless of the size or nature of construction, guests’ names should be prominently displayed for both visibility and efficiency.
    • Table numbers.
      If specific seating assignments are not a concern, limit the contents of your place card holders to table numbers. Always make certain the design you choose will enhance rather than circumvent whatever task you entrust to your card holders.
    • Photos.
      Personalize each place card holder with unique photos of those in attendance. Pictures chosen for each holder could be of the following:
      • Guests.
        Create a fun way for guests to find each of their tables with a unique place card holder displaying photos of your family and friends.
      • Bride and groom.
        Single out one of your favorite photos of the newlyweds which will give your family and friends something interesting to talk about.
    • Theme. While a theme is not a requirement for a properly designed wedding ceremony and reception party. However, themed décor can help bring your own uniqueness to an otherwise predictable event. Use place card holders in one or more of the following ways to add elegance to your post-wedding ceremony celebrations:
      • Harmonize.
        You can complete your theme with place card holders of complementary colors and styles. For example, for a wedding reception with a western theme, try using studded boots as holders for place cards.
      • Emphasize.
        Send your guests away with a lasting impression by using thematic place card holders that can double as wedding party favors. By thoughtfully selecting table favors that stand out rather than blend in, your guests will be talking about your artful wedding ornamentations for years to come.
      • Magnetize.
        Grab your guests’ attention with themed place card holders. Use color and design to gain the eyes of your family and friends and guide each of them to their reception reception tables.
    • Function. When you select your wedding decorations, it is important to know their purpose. Apply these suggestions for utilizing place card holders as directional additions for your reception or other wedding celebrations:
      • Mood.
        Set the tone for your wedding reception party with specially chosen place card holders. You can take the moment captive with accents that add a unique touch.
      • Budget.
        Your budget does not have to be a constrictive factor when choosing appropriate wedding ornamentations. Place card holders can be both simple and beautiful if carefully picked to implement their function as visual instructions and stylish highlights.
      • Socialization.
        Establish moments for conversation by making the most of your place card holders. Deliberately pair family and friends through similar colors or styles. Give your family and friends opportunities to tell stories about the bride and groom from personal viewpoints.

    No two weddings are exactly alike; ergo, your wedding decorations should also have a special flair. Take advantage of the helpful features of place card holders to make your wedding events a sensational experience for each of your family and friends while keeping the bride and groom as the center of the event.
