Popular Wedding Place Cards & Escort Cards

As we’ve indicated above, wedding table numbers and place cards are popular: couples use them to make the reception a hassle-free experience for the guests (and it helps to keep the itinerary ticking along nicely, too). In terms of what themes and designs are most popular, however, that varies, and if you want to see what keywords and search terms are trending at the moment, check out the ‘Search Insights’ at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can browse these curated collections, which represent some of our customers’ favourite patterns and styles:

• Floral Wedding Place Cards: Set these name cards on every table at the wedding like floral centrepieces. You could assign each group a different bouquet.
• Rustic Wedding Place Cards: These old-fashioned designs are perfect if you’re aiming for a vintage, countrified vibe. Imagine each couple’s initials carved on a barn door, encircled by wildflowers, and that’s the style our Independent Creators have in mind here.
• Elegant Wedding Place Cards: Everyone wants their wedding to be described as "elegant." With ornate calligraphy and foil accents, you can make sure that yours is the most sophisticated wedding of the century.
• Modern Wedding Place Cards: If the homespun look doesn’t appeal to you, you can always opt for something contemporary. Our Independent Creators keep up with the latest trends (and they set them, too, occasionally).
• Simple Wedding Place Cards: Eschew the detailed ornamentation and gold leaf lettering; try something simple but effective with these minimalist designs and pared-back templates.

Personalizing your escort cards couldn’t be easier – the bulk of the template will be occupied by a table number or name, anyway, so there won’t be much to add. However, if you do want to experiment with the look of your place cards (and at the very least, in order to swap out the table numbers), you can use our state-of-the-art design tool. To access this interface, follow these step-by-step instructions:

• Step 1: Select a design you like and click on its thumbnail to be taken to the product page. Here will be a close-up of the card on display, and you can scrutinize every angle with the other images visible on the left-hand side of the page.
• Step 2: When you're on the product page, choose a desired paper type and whether you want envelopes to be issued with your order. To make minor changes to the design (when you’re substituting numbers, for example), hit ‘Enter Information.’ Otherwise, continue to the next step.
• Step 3: Click on 'Personalize' and 'Edit Using Design Tool’ to make more advanced edits, or to work on the design when the ‘Enter Information’ button isn’t there. Now you can then add images and text elements using Zazzle's design interface – this is where you'll add your own personal touch to your product!
• Step 4: Click 'Done' to see your final design and ‘Add to Cart’ to ready your item for purchase. You can revert to your work-in-progress project by using the ‘Edit Design’ button. We’re so proud of all you’ve learned, and with the most important day of your life growing ever closer, why, we can feel ourselves welling up. To really blow us away, you can also create a one-of-a-kind product on our custom wedding place cards page, or visit our main place cards hub to customize a wider range of designs.

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with the Zazzle.ca site and still have a lot of items to tick off your wedding to-do list, why not pick up a few other wedding supplies? For example, you can ensure that the tables themselves aren’t smeared with stains and watermarks if you scatter some wedding coasters about, and you can distribute some wedding napkins just in case there is a spill or blemish to wipe up. For some attendees, even the place cards and seating charts won’t be enough; in that case, a conveniently placed wedding tabletop sign will point them gently in the right direction. Finally, the place cards and table numbers won’t be of any use should they become dislodged or misplaced. So, use our wedding place card holders to clearly show off the table card to any disoriented invitee.
