Unlike name cards, table cards are found on a table at the front of the reception room to help guests find their assigned seats. They are usually arranged in alphabetical order by last name. Each card lists the name or names of a party and their table number. While each guest has their own name place card at their table setting, a table card may list both names of a couple and their guests on a single card.
Since table cards are one of the first things guests see as they enter your dinner venue, they’re a chance to set the tone for the reception to follow, from formal to casual. Choose the same material, color, and font for table cards and name cards.
