Place cards

We will only have 35 guests for our wedding, should i use table numbers or should I just use place cards for each guests at the tables?

Re: Place cards

  • Are you having meal choices? 
    Your venue may want a distinction between meal choices and you would need to do place cards.
    You can just assign people tables and make a list, or if you choose not to assign seats at all make sure that you have extra chairs and tables that way guests don't have to split from those that they came with.

  • Listen to Crash.  With 35 people I wouldn't think assigned tables isn't necessary if you don't want to do that, but do make sure you have some extra seats so the family of 3 isn't stuck splitting into 2 and 1 to fit at the only open spots at the tables.
  • I'm a placecard person.

    We had 220 people at our wedding. I did place cards because we had a lot of tables where peopel wouldn't know each other, and I wanted to sit them by someone they had something in common with.

    Nobody complained, and anyone who didn't want to sit in that exact spot just switched, which I didn't notice or care. 

    I also happen to like when you go to a wedding with placecards, because you know who you're giong to sit with. :)
