Place Cards
Are you guys writing them out or printing them? I was thinking of getting a caligraphy pen and doing it myself...

Re: Place Cards
Are you guys putting these in alpha-order or what?

I am having the hardest time trying to find someone who will do this for us. Everyone says they are booked. :(

<div>Same here.</div>
My venue requires them handed in in ABC order, as well.
Since they are being set out at each table, we have to have them organized by table and placed in a clock-wise order starting with seat 1 and ending with seat 10. This is going to be the biggest PITA ever.
Well, in terms of escort cards, we're supposedly doing a seating chart but I am having issues finding a calligrapher that will write it out for us on such short notice. May end up with regular escort cards, which pisses me off.
As far as "place cards" at the tables, we're doing place settings with each person's name written out on a gold doily with a clear charger plate over it to keep it in place (and I'm writing the names out myself using a Sharpie Calligraphy pen):

<div>Yah, I didn't realize it myself until a few months ago. Place cards go at the individual seats. They are often used if you have a big chalkboard or other kind of sign that tells ppl what table they are at, but doesn't give them a physical card to take with them (i.e. "escort" them) to their table. </div><div>
</div><div>If you only want to assign ppl to tables, but not specific seats, they are not needed.</div>
and here is an example of our place settings (although we still need to print the menu and tuck behind the silverware).
