Published on: May 12, 2025
Planning a wedding is all about the details—and wooden place cards are one of those small yet powerful touches that can truly elevate your celebration. These personalized name tags are not only practical but also serve as beautiful keepsakes for your guests. Here are 10 creative ways to use wooden place cards at your wedding.
1. Classic Guest Name Tags
The most traditional use is, of course, displaying each guest’s name at their seat. Choose an elegant script and match the color to your theme for a stunning look.
2. Mini Wedding Favors
Let your guests take them home as a personalized favor. Each name tag doubles as a lasting memory from your special day.
3. Table Number Holders
Combine wooden place cards with small bases to act as dual-purpose table number signs. Functional and stylish.
4. Unique Photo Props
Set up a photo station where guests can pose with their name tags—great for candid shots and social media moments.
5. Wine Glass Charms
Attach place names to wine glasses so no one loses track of their drink—and the aesthetic is Pinterest-worthy.
6. Message Holders
Use the back side to print or engrave a short message or blessing to make it extra personal and emotional.
7. Decorative Magnets
Stick a small magnet on the back so guests can later use them on their fridge at home.
8. Hanging Elements
Place names don’t have to lie flat—hang them on napkin rings, glasses, or small vases for a vertical touch.
9. Personalized Menus
Pair each name card with a customized mini menu—especially great for intimate dinners or micro-weddings.
10. Thank You Notes
Engrave or print a short thank-you note on each name card as a sweet gesture of appreciation.
