Place cards

Do you write Mr. John Doe and guest or do you actually need the name of the guest?
Most people don't tell you who they are bringing.

Re: Place cards

I did one card per person, even the guests. I had to make a few calls, but I ended up getting the names of everyone.

Re: Place cards

we are putting both of their names. Anyone we don't know their name we are contacting some one in the family to get it for us.

Re: Place cards

So does it look horrible if you don't have their names on them? Sometimes people say theya re bringing someone but change last minute...then what?

Re: Place cards

I am writing and guest if I don't know who they are brining.

Re: Place cards

Should the place cards be as formal as the invitation? For example, Invitation = Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.

Should the place cards match this or could I just say Jane and John Smith?

Re: Place cards

I think they should be as formal as the invite but who knows. That's what I am doing.

Re: Place cards

I guess it makes things easier since I already have the formal names typed up for the invites. All I have to do for the placecard is copy and paste!

Re: Place cards

I will be keeping the formal names as well as writing the actual name of the guest.

re: the formality -- it all depends, i think, on what kind of affair you are having. if you are having a more informal atmopshere, then do 'john and sue smith' - but if you want a more formal look, go for it. I do not think it matters too much which way you do it.
