Party Element: Place Cards

Place cards lend a sort of fanciness to an evening and let guests know that you care about having a specific seat for them at your event. I am all about place cards and seating arrangements. While they do require a bit more work, they can make for a much more enjoyable evening among your guests.

Whether you are having a glitzy affair, or a backyard bash we have rallied together some great and creative ideas for escort cards and their displays.
