Place Cards (Flat)
A Modern Take on Seating
Flat place cards offer a clean, contemporary look for your table settings. They lay flat on the plate, napkin, or table surface — simple, elegant, and easy for guests to spot. Use them to guide guests to their seats, add a personal touch to each place setting, or double as a small keepsake they can take home.
