A step further would be to find out the name of the 'guest' and write their name on the card. Its more personalized, makes the 'guest' feel more welcomed and, besides, shouldn't you know the names of everyone attending your wedding!!
Just a little pet peeve of mine.....
Thanks for your help!
I tried looking up the guidelines on "ask carly" at the knot, but my browser keeps locking : (
I think that's the best course of action - to follow the same guidelines you used when sending out the invitations. With on exception - if you included a child on the parents invitation but the child is seated at another table, then - obviously - they get their own card! : )
How timely that you're doing this Today....I just ordered my cards from PaperDirect this morning!
I think you should write out the place cards exactly how you wrote out the invitations. If you put both on the invitation, they are obviously a couple (regardless of gender or living arrangement). I think the only one who should get a separate place card is the 16 year old, because he is not a "couple" with his parents. I agree with the guest theory...I don't want to pay for anyone who I don't know their name. If they are a couple and you addressed an invitation to them both, they should be placed on the placecard with their significant other.
Thanks everyone for all of your responses. The basket is almost done and the engagement(I'm so excited) is anyday. I'm finally getting the sister I always wanted!! Thanks Again....Gina :)
