I plan on using the place cards WM gives us, I just don't want to spend extra money on things we are already being given

Minted.com offers free guest name personalization with their place card order. My place offers place cards but I don't know if I have the patience to write out the names on the place cards

for those of you using the placecards from the venue, are you getting a calligrapher for them?

Re: placecards, seating charts, etc.

Traditional place cards, most likely.

Question for you all: does each person get their own placecard, or can I do one for 'Mr. and Mrs. John Doe'

Hi Cets,
In my opinion, I would give 1 card for a married couple.. Ex 'Mr & Mrs David Smith'
If they have 2 small children, I would write 'Mr & Mrs David Smith + 2'
If the kids are adults, I probably would give them separate cards but you may not necessarily need to. Hope this helps!

Re: placecards, seating charts, etc.

I bought my own placecards and I actually started making the template for them last night. I downloaded a font call 'Feel Script' from 4share or something and I was able to play around with it and put a monogram on top with our date underneath it and then the persons name and table underneath that. I LOVE the way they came out!! I was worried they would look cluttered but it really looks great!

I loved the idea of a framed seating chart but I just couldn't justify spending that money on something I wouldn't even display in my place after the wedding.
