Place Cards (Folded)
The Classic Table Tent
Folded place cards are the traditional choice for assigned seating — and for good reason. The tent-style fold lets the card stand upright on the table, making guest names easy to read from a distance. They're elegant, practical, and perfect for any event where you want to guide guests to their seats with style.
What Can You Use Folded Place Cards For?
- Weddings: Guest names and table numbers at each place setting
- Formal dinners: Assigned seating for galas, corporate events, and black-tie affairs
- Rehearsal dinners: Intimate gatherings with personalized touches
- Holiday dinners: Thanksgiving, Christmas, or other special family meals
- Showers and parties: Baby showers, bridal showers, milestone birthdays
- Conferences: Reserved spots for VIPs, speakers, or panelists
What to Include on Place Cards
- Guest name: The essentials — first name, full name, or title depending on formality
- Table number: Helps guests find both their seat and their table
- Meal selection: Some events mark meal choices with icons or codes
- Personal message: A short thank-you or note inside the fold
- Decorative design: Match your event's colors, theme, and overall stationery suite
Tips for Great Folded Place Cards
- Keep names large and legible: Guests should be able to read them from standing height
- Match your stationery: Same colors, fonts, and design elements as your invitations
- Use the inside: Hide a sweet note, menu preview, or fun fact inside the fold
- Consider foil: Gold or silver foil names add instant elegance
- Order extras: Last-minute guest changes happen — always have backups ready

Pro Tip
For a cohesive tablescape, coordinate your folded place cards with matching menu cards, programs, and table numbers. The tent fold works best on sturdy cardstock (14 PT. or higher) — thicker paper holds the fold better and stands up on its own without flopping over.
