What do people make place cards for?

Place Card Me was originally intended to be used primarily for weddings, but that doesn't keep people from finding other creative uses for it!

Let's look at some of the other things people are doing with place cards.

Have a look at some of the delicious treats people have been serving up place cards for. We've got coverage from a wide variety of cuisines from around the world!

Themed Snacks

A bizarre and surprisingly popular subcategory of food is themed snacks.

What is a themed snack, you ask?

A themed snack is a surprisingly common place card tactic we see that involves naming traditional food according to a theme, like Harry Potter or Dinosaurs.

Below are some examples (we think these are probably being used in elementary schools).

Events

Of course weddings aren't the only events that need place cards—and Place Card Me has serviced a very broad range of events, from military and political galas to pub trivia.

Heartwarming

It's been fun taking this trip through place card lane!

We'd like to close with possibly our favorite cards ever made. Someone just wrote a bunch of names of different people, and for each person wrote something they loved about that person.

It warms our little heart!

That's all from us. Here's to making the next 100,000 cards even better!
