Why You Should Care About Your Wedding Place Settings
While guests expect to see decorations throughout your reception area, they might not linger very long at the gift table or notice the childhood photos you placed on the men’s and women’s bathrooms. One area they will spend a lot of time at is their seat. A unique place setting is sure to get noticed while you have your first dance, go through the toasts and cut your cake.
The key to wedding place settings is coming up with a theme and incorporating it throughout. That theme can be as simple or as involved as you like, but the wedding place setting should complement the rest of your reception décor. Inexpensive touches can provide a big impact.
Inexpensive Wedding Place Setting Ideas
Adding a gold charger plate, for example, costs just $3 but will instantly up the glamour at each wedding place setting. Other inexpensive DIY ideas that will dial up the wow factor of your place settings include using mismatched vintage china that you pick up from a thrift store, dip-dyeing your silverware to match your wedding accent colors or personalizing mason jar drinking glasses with chalkboard paint for each guest.
What’s in a Name?
Place cards are another area to personalize your wedding place settings. You can go with traditional tented place cards, but add some style with a fun accent color, kitschy stamps or unique handlettering.
Another option that’s increasing in popularity is flat place cards displayed at each wedding place setting in a unique way. Brides and grooms are using metallic spray-painted animal figurines, wine corks and even pieces of fruit.
