Wedding table cards are required if your wedding or event guests will have assigned seating. Guests will look for their seats based on the table number to which they are assigned. A table card makes finding it easy for guests.
First, what is a table card? In its very basic form, a table card is a type of signage used to identify a table for your guests. If they are numerical, traditionally, lower numbers are reserved for the wedding party and immediate family. In addition, the couple may be seated at their own table, usually designated as the sweetheart or king’s table.

The table decor and cards should have a complementary, cohesive look. Keep in mind colors and textures, as well as height. Although applicable, the table cards shouldn’t take away from the centerpieces – unless deliberate and are a standalone statement piece. Table cards have a functional component and should be legible and easily noticed.
Table cards serve an essential functional purpose at an event, but that doesn’t mean they need to be lifeless. Instead, make table cards a stylish addition to your wedding reception while helping guests find their assigned seats. There’s no shortage of ways to make your table cards stand out. Regardless of direction, visibility is paramount.

Finally, a table card doesn’t even have to be a digit! Forego the number and use themed cards instead. For example, consider the theme of your wedding or event to add a personal touch to the table cards. You can customize the cards further by nodding to your personality or relationship.
