Placecard Holders: Helping Your Guests To Their Seats 

Your wedding ceremony is finally over and now it is time for you and your spouse together with all the guests to proceed to the reception hall to begin a wonderful evening of dining and dancing. As each and every guest goes through the reception line you and your spouse will have your first chance to greet your guests as a newly wedded couple. Everything is so perfect and in place until your guests starts wondering about inside the hall trying to decide where and with whom they want to sit with. Looking at what is happening, you finally realize that you should not have skipped on a minute yet very important detail of the reception, that is, the use of place cards for seating arrangements.

Place cards or also known as table markers had long been used and incorporated into wedding receptions as being a vital feature when it comes to arranging the seats for your guests. They can be considered old-fashioned, but without the use of place cards the reception may look rather unorganized and unstructured or can even put strain to the guests especially when you have a large crowd of strangers who may not know each other. Even according to a survey conducted, more than 80% of wedding guests prefer the host to prior assign them with the seats. Not only it offers a more organized and welcoming touch, it is also very much comforting for the guests knowing that the host has taken considerable amount of time to designate a special spot for them to sit. The place cards should also be used to your advantage by placing people with similar interests together or moving away guests who you think may dominate conversations.
