Create Lilac Flowers and Gold Frame Wedding Place Card

Soft colours for a spring or summer wedding

Lilac, sage leaves and gold lines go well with blush and ivory table settings. The script lettering gives it the look of hand-lettered stationery.

Fields

• Guest name, set in script
• Table number, shown in small type below the name
• A message, for example a menu choice or a short welcome

Planning the seating

Use the table number field for the seating plan, and keep the message line for dietary information so waiters can serve the right dish. Print a few spare cards for last-minute guests.

Paper choice

Heavyweight matte paper makes the card stand well. Textured paper looks lovely but test one first, as some textures soften fine gold lines.

Spring and summer weddings

Lilac and white blossoms in the corners with a thin gold frame suit a daytime wedding with pale linens and gold cutlery. The guest name is set in flowing script, which feels handwritten even though it is printed.

Seating details

The small line shows the table number, and the Special Message can carry a table name such as Wisteria instead. If your tables have names, avoid numbers on the card to keep the theme consistent. Check spellings against the guest list before printing.

Paper and finish

Warm white or ivory paper complements the gold frame, and a matte finish avoids fingerprints. If you print at home, choose photo or best quality so the soft flowers do not band, and print one proof on plain paper first.

Working with a seating plan

Finalise the seating chart before you print, because changing a name means generating the card again. Sort the printed cards by table, tie each group with a ribbon and place them at the entrance table in alphabetical order. A few blank spares let you cope with last-minute changes.
