The details of wedding planning can overwhelm couples sometimes. A great many things have to occur. Flowers, decorations, and food must be ordered, a seating chart must be created and place cards printed with all the names of guests on them, and place card holders must be chosen to hold these in place at the tables. Placecard holders may seem to be a minor detail, yet their absence could have serious repercussions with the bride whose perfect day is spoiled.
Seating charts are a necessary item for the wedding reception because there are usually a fairly large number of people present. These people are all friends of family of the bride and/or groom, yet there is no guarantee that all of these people will be able to tolerate one another's company for an extended period. Another good reason for having a seating chart in mind is that most catering services will offer a choice of two different entrees for guests to choose from and the seating arrangement will make it easier to determine where each dish is going to be served.
Place cards are an important part of the seating arrangement to ensure that everyone knows where they are to be placed during the dinner. Many people would consider it a little bit tacky to just put the place cards on people's plates to mark the seat they are to take. Also, this would not be sanitary practice given the number of different people who have probably handled the place cards.
Place card holders are generally a multipurpose item at the wedding reception. Often, they are also to be given to the guests as wedding favors, "thank you" gifts for attending. This makes it important to choose placecard holders that are an item that makes a good keepsake that people would be happy to receive, yet not overly expensive because several will be needed.
One item that makes a good example of a dual purpose placecard holder & wedding favor is a small photo frame that is placed at each seat with the place card inside and will hold a wedding photo after they are developed. There are several different styles of these frames, some that sit on top of a desk or shelf in the traditional manner, and some that are really glass coasters that can hold the place card now and a wedding photo later.
If the couple chooses to go with something smaller that will only be used as a placecard holder, there are many small items that are slotted to hold the edge of the place cards and will fit into the overall dcor without being obvious or in the way. Even these items do not take up a great deal of space or stand out, their absence would be a major problem in the eyes of the bride because her day is somehow less than perfect.
Place card holders may not seem to be, in the grand scheme of things, very important to the planning of a wedding. They are an easily overlooked item. Yet, their importance if very real. - 16035
