What is a place card?
Place cards are small cards printed with an individual’s name and assigned seat or table for any formal dinner or event. These cards typically look like a business card that is propped up to stand on its own. They measure about 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Place cards used during wedding receptions are called wedding place cards. These types of place cards will usually follow the motif or design theme chosen by the bride and groom for the wedding.

In this place card template, wedding planners will only need to write down the names of the guests and their corresponding table number. To make the place cards more elegant-looking, wedding planners may need to use stick-on calligraphy letters or ask someone to manually write out the names in calligraphy or cursive font.

When printing out this place card, you may also use different types and colors of card stock. In this way, you will have total control of how the place card looks. It is also best to consult a wedding planner beforehand to know if the color you have chosen matches with the specific color palette that was chosen for your own wedding.

Just remember to ask someone who has a good handwriting and/or someone who knows how to do calligraphy lettering to write the names on the place cards.

Why use wedding place card templates?
- Reduce time spent on designing wedding cards. Pre-made design templates are primarily meant to help designers save time on creating card projects. So when you use a wedding place card template, you undoubtedly save some time in designing a place card. Typically, creating a place card will involve 1) designing a place card template using Adobe Photoshop or InDesign, 2) printing out the place card template and 3) placing design touches or cutting out the individual cards. However, if you use a template, you do not need to follow the first step. And the time freed up with this method may then be spent in making sure that each place card is cut out and designed well.
- To simplify the wedding preparation process. Another reason why you should use wedding place card templates is that they can help you simplify the entire wedding preparation process. Before a wedding can occur, a lot of minor tasks need to be completed. Creating a wedding place card is just one of these tasks. So if you want to simplify the entire process and devote as little time and effort as possible to this task, using place card templates is a good way to go. This way, you do not have to worry about creating the card templates yourself.
- To coordinate all printed wedding invitation materials. Place cards are not the only things that will need to be created and printed out before a wedding takes place. Other items like invitation cards, RSVP cards, table numbers, envelope designs, signage, etc. will also need to be created. To make this process easier and ensure that all your printable wedding cards follow a uniform appearance and design, it is best to use a pre-made wedding card template. These days, there are a lot of wedding invitation sets that will already include all these card design templates so it would really make the life of a wedding planner easier.
- To supplement creative skills. Being able to add upon one’s creative skills through place card template design is another reason why you may need to use pre-made card templates. Not everyone is artistically gifted and creating handmade card designs may be an issue. Also, wedding events require that place cards are created for all wedding guests. So if you are thinking of handcrafting many place cards, it may not be feasible. In order to preserve creativity and save time, using pre-made wedding place card templates is a better alternative. There are now place card template designs that are as creative as handcrafted card designs.
Choose the Kraft Wedding Place Card Template if you want a quirky touch for your wedding’s place cards.
