Re: Placecards

Jenn I didn't think you got lost.

Is it ok to use the & symbol or should the word 'and' be written out?

Edited to say......DUH!!!!!

I went back & reread what I typed.

Sorry it has been a long day

Re: Placecards

no problem it took me a few times of reading it to catch it. I guess I have been doing too much reseach recently and need a break

Re: Placecards

I think you should write it out I think that is more formal but I'm not sure
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe - Is I believe the more formal approach- BUT don't qoute me on that

Re: Placecards

ok and while I'm at it.....

If I have only 2 children coming (both my flowergirls should they have their own place cards or should they go with their parents as a family?

Re: Placecards

always use 'and' - you shouldn't shorten anything or use symbols on 'wedding literature!'

Thanks Jenny!

BTW, I just got off the phone with Jim Lowe! I already booked him but just wanted to touch base with him! He was fantastic. He played music for me while we were on the phone. Very easy to talk to!

Re: Placecards

Sorry since I'm trying at the moment to see if I can do this......

If someone is invited with a guest but the names are too long to fit both across the card can I do them like this....

Ms. Jane Smith
Mr. David Jones

Table #

Is that ok?
