Two Unique Place Card Ideas

There are many ways to guide your guests to their chairs at your event.  Many people opt to have a laissez-faier attitude about seating at their event; let the guests choose their tablemates.  This is a good option for a small event in which most everyone is acquainted or for a buffet style dinner party.

For larger affairs, or ones in which many of the guests aren't acquainted, seating charts are the best way to ensure well matched guests or to alleviate any awkward searching for a place to sit!
