How to Display Place Cards
- 1). Place the card in the holder. Follow the seating chart and find the correct table for each guest. Tables will have numbers on them.
- 2). Place the holder on the table above the charger at each place setting. The charger is an over-sized dinner plate that the other plates are placed on when the meal begins. The holder also may be placed on the charger if the napkin hasn't been placed there.
- 3). Put the holder between the silverware if a charger has not been used.
- 4). Face the holder, so the name on the card is clearly visible.
- 5). Place tented place cards on the charger or between the silverware settings.
- 6). Arrange the place card at the top of card holders that are miniature topiaries, flower bouquets, candles or picture frames. Sometimes at weddings, the bride will choose a favor that becomes the place card holder. For example, the favor is a gel candle in a holder. The place card is then taped to the candle.
