Place cards are a much needed wedding essential. Most, if not all, guests expect to be assigned seating at your wedding reception. Seating arrangements show your guests that you took time to consider where they would be seated.

Whether you choose to use place card frames or place card holders is entirely up to your personal style. Place card frames are a great option that double as miniature photo frames for your guests to hold your thank you photos. Place card holders, which usually have a metal spiral clip attached to them take up less table space and can also be used by your guests to hold photos or notes.

Place card frames and holders also make lovely table decorations. With a wide variety of designs available on the market today, you can match your theme, colors or even provide the extra "pop" of shiny sparkle to your reception decor.

These dual use wedding favors are functional as they are pretty - giving your guests a useful take home gift while providing decoration for your reception.
