Place Card Holders To Complement Your Party Tables

Co-ordinating table settings are an important part of party and wedding celebrations nowadays. As a result, it's important to choose place card holders that will complement the rest of your venue decor and blend all your ideas together in one place. Believe it or not, this is really not as difficult as you might think.

Firstly, you must be clear about what your theme is. For example, is your event an Autumn wedding abundant in orange, gold and brown leaves or are you having a 30th birthday party featuring twinkling stars? Alternatively, you may have an event which has a colour as a central theme or a particular poque such as 1920's or Hollywood. When you are clear about the 'feel' you wish to create, you can then start to think about the perfect place card holders.

For those who are having a February wedding, the perfect place card holder would come in the form of a heart. Such place card holders will complement the sexy feel you already have in place for favours, chair covers, table linen, floral centrepieces and bridesmaid posies. Equally, plain place card holders in co-ordinating shades gold, hot pink or red could work really well.

Alternatively, your occasion may have a definite theme which stems from the location of the event. In other words, if your event is taking place on the beach, you would be wise to pick place card holders in novelty shapes such as flip flops or shells. You could also bring this style idea into your stationery, napkins and favours where flip flop motifs etc could prevail.

Alternatively, you may be hoping to obtain a more subtle, organic feel. This can be easily achieved with place card holders featuring butterflies, topiary trees, flowers, fruit and leaves. Natural place card holders work really well for garden themed occasions that take place in gardens, meadows and parks during warmer months.

For those having special birthday parties, stars are generally a central theme especially for the men. If your table sprinkles are star shaped and your balloon decor features stars, then your place card holders should also feature this shape. If you are organising a party for a female relation, friend or client anything to do with cakes, shoes, bags or flowers will be well received. Be in keeping with your party theme by choosing place card holders in the shape of cupcakes, handbags, shoes or featuring anything floral.

Remember, you don't always have to splash out on place card holders from stores as there are many alternative ways in which you can let guests know where to sit. You could tie handwritten cardboard luggage tags to the bases of wine glasses, create cross stitch place cards or stick name flags in pieces fresh fruit!
