How To Save Money On Wedding Place Cards

Just like the RSVP cards in the invitations, place cards for the
dinner can be an unnecessary expense. A really economical way to
direct your guests to their seats is to display a framed seating chart
(or two). Not only do you save money, but it is greener and easier to
set up.First, decide the size of the frame(s) you are going to
display. Remember, the larger the text on the chart, the easier it
will be for your guests to find their seats. I'd suggest frames that
are 16"x20" or 18"x24". You can use frames that you already own, get
inexpensive ones at an arts and crafts store like Michael's, borrow
them, etc.Then, you can download seating chart templates from the
Internet, have a design savvy friend create it or draft it yourself.
Make sure the document is saved as a.pdf and that it's the same size
as the frame(s) you have/bought.Next, take the document to Kinko's (or
the like) and have them print it out on the most inexpensive paper.
(It's a really thin stock of paper, but it doesn't matter because
it'll be framed!) This shouldn't cost more than $10 per print out.Put
the printed seating chart in the frame and voila!Now all you have to
do is find out if your venue has easels (which I'm sure they do).
Also, remember to display your seating chart(s) in a very visible
location for your guests.
