Everyone goes through the reception line and you have your first opportunity to greet your guests as a newly married couple. This is your first opportunity to talk to everyone before going into the reception hall to begin an evening of dining and dancing.

Place cards (also known as table markers) may seem old-fashioned, but serve the same purpose today as they did years ago. In fact, many believe that they are a must for any reception with seventy-five guests or more. A guest milling about trying to decide where they want to sit makes the wedding look haphazard and unstructured.

The elegantly presented place cards holders are a wonderful way to create fabulous first impressions as your guests arrive. The place card holders let guests know where to find their seats. The place cards holders should be used to your advantage by placing people together with compatible interests and separating guests who may dominate conversations. Simple cards may be positioned in the place card holder at the head of each place setting on the table.

The use of place card holders is also a unique way to present the theme of the wedding. Whether you have a detailed seating chart or are planning a reception with open seating, a place card holder is a wonderful wedding accent. It adds an elegant tone to the table settings and provides each guest with another wedding favor that they can take home.

You can also personalize the place card holders with special events related to the bride and groom. On the bottom of each, you can add information related to the date the couple first met, their first date, favorite song, restaurant, meeting each other parents, proposal date, where they were when the proposal was made, etc.

The place card holders can be simple and homemade or you can purchase personalized elaborate holders that can also be used as the wedding favor. This allows you the opportunity to merge two different components of the reception into one, saving time and money.
