Christmas Place Cards: What Are They?

A Christmas Place Card is a small piece of paper or cardstock that includes the name of the Christmas celebration guest.

Whether you are hosting a large party for your relatives and friends during the festive season or you are booking an establishment on behalf of your company or several organizations that want to show appreciation to their employees and connect with potential business partners while discovering new network opportunities, place cards will show every invited person where they will sit. Other guests will know how to address a certain person and servers will be aware not to mix up the attendees since specific eating preferences may be crucial to some people.

How to Make Christmas Place Cards?

Follow these guidelines to create customized Christmas Place Cards for the upcoming celebration:

1. Before you start working on easy Christmas Place Cards that contain the names of guests, it is necessary to confirm the attendance of every person you have invited and make a seating chart - a copy of the latter document should be near the entrance to your residence or venue you have booked so that the people arrive to the celebration and immediately know where they are meant to go.
2. Choose the right material for your DIY Christmas Place Cards - paper is the most common, and since it is unlikely the same group of people will be able to attend the party again next year, it will cut your costs - many guests also like to take the cards with them as memorabilia. You can also go for cardstock or plastic - the latter option will allow you to repurpose the cards if the names of guests are written with markers in a calligraphy font and can be erased once the party is over.
3. Reduce to the minimum the number of details you put on the card - generally, it is enough to add the name of the individual. You may also indicate their honorific or academic title in case the format of the event calls for it. If you are arranging a corporate celebration where representatives of different organizations are supposed to meet, the names of entities the guests work for or the logos of these companies can be a nice touch - besides, place cards can be quicker identified that way.
4. You can save money by printing fewer cards if you are planning to let families and couples sit together. It is reasonable for Christmas since many of your guests will have children with them and they need to look after the kids continuously. It is also a good idea to allocate a separate table to the children so that they are not bored listening to adults talking during the party - in this case, a large place card that simply indicates this is a table where all the young guests will be able to enjoy the party will be sufficient.
