Something About Place Settings

I’m a big fan of place settings, and you should be too! After all, your guests spend a good chunk of your wedding day sat at their allocated place, so why wouldn’t you make it as pretty as can be?

Give your guests something to talk about other than your delicious wedding food…or perhaps distract them from the not so great food (really hope that doesn’t actually apply to anyone out there)

Place Settings

When I say place settings I’m referring to the place cards, linen, cutlery and placemats. Centre pieces, favours and table numbers are a whole other wedding matter, which I’ll blog about another day…and at the rate my blogs are posted we’re probably talking 2018!?

Napkins/serviettes whatever you like to call them, are often neglected. It’s so easy to incorporate these with your place cards…you can make your place cards place tags and have the ribbon/twine of the place tags tied around the napkin. Or turn your napkins into pockets to hold your menus, or perhaps a personalised note to your guest (I’ll discuss personalised touches some more shortly). You can even print onto napkins and save on your extra stationery! My personal fave is to have a thank you to your guests printed onto a napkin, and have this trailing over the edge of the table…so pretty!

Place cards – try to keep these in line with your wedding colours/theme. Make sure these can be easily seen by your guests, otherwise you might end up with an awkward seating arrangement. It probably took you countless hours and a few lovers tiffs arranging that table plan, so don’t go and ruin it by blocking place cards with a candle holder!

Placemats – not always needed, however if you’re the creative type then give these some thought. You can really add to your theme with these! For example if you’re having a glam chic wedding you can never go wrong with metallic, or beaded charger plates. Or if you’re having a rustic wedding then slate placemats would look fab. Or go a creative step further with log placemats!

Cutlery doesn’t have to be boring, and don’t be afraid to ask your caterer about hiring something you’ve seen, if you’re not keen on what they have to offer! Go for gold or rose gold if it ties in with your theme. If your tables are feeling cluttered, have the cutlery sit within your napkin. Or if you’re having place tags then you can tie these around your cutlery, and position them in the centre of your placemat.

Now lets talk personalisation. Take time to make your guests feel loved! Let them know what they mean to you by adding personal messages to their place settings, whether it be in the form of a thank you note, or even a quote or saying that they would relate to. It doesn’t have to be a “pass me the sick bucket” type of note, it can be funny too…however you do it, trust me, they’ll notice and appreciate!
