Handwritten place cards

When done right, place cards can make all the difference to your set table. They add a personal touch, showing your guests you’ve put thought into every detail. They can admire their names written in traditional or modern calligraphy, and many will keep it as a momento to keep forever.

My handwritten place cards come in a range of colour and materials. Personally, I love place cards that add a pop of colour to the table, or those that double up as favours (for example, if they are written on slate, or perspex, or even coasters!).

Bespoke

Place cards can be made to your exact specification – colour, material, style and ink colour

Materials

Who says place cards have to be card? Other materials like perspex, agate, slate and even leaves can work too and really add a uniqueness to your setting.

Handwritten

All of my place cards are handwritten – no printing here. This means no two names are alike, a truly personalised service

Favours

Why not combine a place names and favour? By creating a coaster, luggage label or anything else for guests to take away.

Ideally, you would send me an excel spreadsheet with your guests names exactly as you want them to appear on the place card (I am not responsible for any spelling mistakes). If this isn’t possible, then let me know and we can sort something else out.
