Place Card Signage Wording Ideas?

Briana, on August 25, 2015 at 8:29 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

Help!

For the life of me, I cannot find good inspiration for wording to use on a sign for my guests to pick up place cards to save their seat. I don't have assigned seating. I just want them to be able to use the cards as a place holder for when they're up dancing!

I was thinking that verbiage could include something about how the card is to hold your place while you're on the dance floor. Does anyone have ideas or recommendations?

Thank you!

    I've seen something before that said something like "choose any seat you'd like; your real place is on the dance floor!"

    Maybe something like... "Find your name and choose any seat you'd like but your place is on the dance floor!" What do you think?

    "place cards" not everything needs a cutesy phrase, despite what pinterest says.

    A place card assigns a seat.

    An escort card assigns a table.

    Are you giving table assignments along with the cards? If not that would be very confusing, and a cute sign won't explain it.

    A lot of my guests won't know the difference between a place card and an escort card, hence the need for a sign. They will all be wondering where their seat / table is, if not directed to pick one themselves.

    I guess I am doing neither a place card or an escort card, because I am not assigning tables or seats. Basically, I just want more decor, and I want people to feel comfortable that their spot is saved at the table they choose.

    Ok - you are just wanting to pinterest up your wedding. No one thinks their place is going to get stolen, a sign would be confusing, so will place cards that don't give people a place. Just skip it all.

    Please refer to the name of this discussion for what I was hoping to achieve here. Whether or not someone thinks my decoration is pointless is another discussion entirely.

    I disagree with Jacqui722... Briana I think a sign like you say and the cute saying will explain it clearly. Obviously their wont be a table number or anything on the place card or the tables so with that cute saying I don't see how people can get confused. You can even have a bridesmaid stand there for a minute and guide guest or if she hears someone say "I don't get it," she can explain but I don't think you even need to have someone do that.

    Find your seat, get ready to eat!

    Find your seat, and bon appetit!

    If we were having place cards/assigned seats we'd for sure have a sign for them. You do you, Briana!
