🧐 Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What kind of paper should I use for printing?
A. For best results, we recommend using a heavy cardstock (e.g., 80-110 lb or 216-300 gsm). This weight ensures your place cards are sturdy and will stand up nicely on the table without collapsing. Always do a test print on plain paper first to check your printer's alignment.
Q. Is my guest list data saved on your server?
A. No. This tool operates entirely within your web browser. Your guest list and any other personal information are processed locally on your device and are never sent to or stored on our servers. Your privacy is fully protected.
📚 Fun Facts about Place Cards
The tradition of using place cards at formal dinners dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, originally as a hallmark of high-society events to signify the importance of each guest and the host's thoughtful planning. Beyond just showing people where to sit, place cards serve a crucial practical purpose: they help waitstaff identify guests with specific dietary restrictions and ensure a smooth, organized flow of service. In modern weddings and events, they have also evolved into a creative outlet, often designed to match the overall theme and serve as a small, personalized keepsake for guests to take home.
