Great Product Review by Edwina
I had placed an order two weeks before child's graduation date, the invites came a week ahead of schedule. Thank You for the great prints, fast shipping.
Absolutely amazing Review by Lauren
I ordered my wedding invitations and love them so much more than I can express. I have gotten countless compliments on the quality and design, and even heard someone say " this is the nicest invitation I've ever received". I upgraded the paper to the lux option and definitely recommend it. It brings the level up with more elegance especially when the invitation sets the vibe for the wedding and the first thing guests will receive. I did have some hesitation when creating the invites but spoke with customer service and even was able to see the proof and speak to someone before they were printed to ensure there were no issues. I am absolutely obsessed with them and telling all my friends!!
Love the colors! Review by Brynne

Frequently Asked Questions About Place Cards
What is the difference between place cards and escort cards?
Escort cards direct the attendees to their table, while place cards specifically indicate where to be seated at that table.
Think of escort cards as the beginning—these are generally located near the door and are alphabetized. Put place cards on the table itself, assisting guests in finding their own seat (especially crucial for plated meals or formal seating).
What information do you put on a wedding place card?
A wedding place card generally contains:
- The guest's name first and last- Their choice of meal (if applicable)
- Optional: a table number, if using place cards in lieu of escort cards
List the names together, such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," if you are a family or a couple.
Should meal choices be indicated on place cards?
Yes! If you are having a plated dinner with several entrée options, specifying the entrée choice is crucial to your caterer.
This is typically accomplished with:
- Abbreviations (such as B for beef, V for vegetarian)- An icon that is congruent with your design (e.g., a petite chicken outline)
You can simply customize our place card layouts to accommodate meal indicators that suit your wedding theme.
Should place cards match the wedding invitations or theme?
Yes! Cohesion ties everything together so well! You don't need your place cards to be an identical replica of your invitations, but a lot of brides and grooms find complementary styles, fonts, and even colors appealing. Basic Invite allows you to personalize every aspect so your place cards mirror your theme of choice—from fancy and classy to contemporary or playful.
When should I order/make wedding place cards?
We suggest that you place your place card orders 2–4 weeks after you've accepted RSVPs and decided on seating.
