Placecard question...

Placecard question...

If you have a guest that has a significant other, would you write two placecards or one?
Mr. John Smith and Ms. Jill Jones
Or one for her and one for him?

I just went to a wedding and even though we are engaged we were sent seperate invites and had seperate placecards. I thought it was weird. If they are close use one if they just met use and guest.

I am planning on doing one place card per couple. Also wondering these should be formal?

Mr and Mrs. John Smith....correct?

I am doing one placecard. I have a lot of people that fall into this category.

Mr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Smith
Table 2

I am writing out the placecards the same way people responded on the rsvp card.

I am doing them formal.
I just wasn't sure if they should each get a placecard. If they were married they would get only one so it seems like one per couple would do it.
More opinions please!

I would defintely do one per couple.

For example:

Ms. Jane Doe
Mr. John Smith

I agree.

I am doing it the same as the invites. So if a couple is getting separate invites (because they don't live together) they will get separate place cards. But if they get one invite, they will get one place card.

Another placecard question....

Amarried couple, do I put Mr. and Mrs. John Doe?

Then I never put the woman's name?

Thats how I did it for my invites, but I didn't have an inner envelope, so I never put the woman's name anywhere.....
hmmm....

I'm about to start doing the placecards for my e-party. Can I put first names only? Or is that really bad? I just have soo many long last names.

Thanks

Re: Placecard question...

If you are having a small, casual e-party then first names only is okay. Unless you have lots of the same named guests.
For a more formal e-party you need to include last names.

Re: Placecard question...

If they are married, you don't use the woman's name on anything (outer/inner envelopes, place cards, etc.) unless you are doing something informal:

Jane and John Doe

If you are doing it formal, you always do:

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe

It's not a very formal e-party, but it's not casual. And we're having over 100 people. I'm going to use last names too.

Thanks Michele!!!
