From sea glass to slate, there are tons of options when it comes to wedding place cards. We’ve picked out some of our favourite ideas!
Pretty Pebbles
Planning a chic, seaside soiree? Then listen up! Source small pebbles (of any shape and size) and simply write the name of every guest on each one. This is an easy DIY option for the savvy spending bride and groom. Learn to write in an elegant calligraphy font, and opt for light colours such as white or silver.

Want something simple that is also chic? A small white or brown card will look beautifully modest. Add a sprig of foliage or lavender for a feminine touch. Sometimes less is more!
Stylish Slate
Slate is a material that is often overlooked when it comes to weddings, but it’s the perfect choice for wedding place cards. The mixture of shapes and outlines will create look elegant yet relaxed, and they’re guaranteed to make your wedding tables look great.

Do you want a seaside or beach wedding with a dash of luxury? Opt for oyster or mussel shells with gold or silver font. They’ll look gorgeous without going down the typical seaside route.
Rustic Elegance
Cork place cards are not only elegant, they’re unique! Fit plain white place cards in each cork and you’ve got yourself some very chic place settings. If you can’t source enough corks, long branches will have the same effect – especially if you want something with a little rustic elegance.
Sea Dreams
Sea glass is one of my favourite materials to use at weddings. The colour, texture and overall look is just enchanting. Smooth pieces of sea glass make stunning wedding place cards, especially if you’re having a romantic beach celebration. Simply write the name of each guest in white or even silver pen, and you’ve got yourself the most unique and natural place card you can find…
Bud Vase Names Settings
Add a floral touch to each guests place setting with tiny bud vases that also hold a place card. Guests can take this away with them after the wedding and use this as photo holder.
