Place card

A place card is a piece of paper indicating what table a guest at an event, such as a wedding or banquet, is assigned to sit.

[1] Place cards generally have the guest's name and table number, and frequently have some design as well to add style.

Custom place cards coordinated with the celebrant's theme have become very popular as well.

Place cards have a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations where they were used for various purposes, such as divination and game playing.

Place cards, especially if fancy, can be an added expense for the couple.
