Seat Guests Stylishly With Table Card Holders

When it comes to hosting, placing name cards around the table is a traditional way to ensure everyone in your home is comfortable and welcomed. Thoughtful placements of name cards can help promote free-flowing dinner conversation while making sure that everyone that enters your home is seated near someone they enjoy. Check out all the available table card holders at Pottery Barn and you'll discover the small trinkets you need to set your next dinner party apart from the rest.

Simple Designs With All-Season Appeal

If hosting big get-togethers is a regular occurrence in your home, consider stocking up on classic table card holders you can use at any time throughout the year. A simple marble cube or clear glass holder coordinates with nearly any table design and table linen style and can provide a vast array of looks simply by trading out the design of the card itself.

Playful Designs For Special Occasions

When you want your table to be indicative of the season at hand, start by choosing playful card holders. Turkeys for Thanksgiving, bunnies for Easter, and chili peppers for Cinco de Mayo are just a few of the fun ideas that will bring a smile to every guest as they sit down to enjoy the meal you've prepared.

Adding Wedding Splendor

Every wedding has a definite look and theme. Reinforce the design of your wedding while letting all your guests know precisely where to sit by showcasing lovely guest cards on card holders designed to mirror the mood of the event. Starfish card holders for a beach union or little succulent holders for a Southwestern affair are just a few of the fashionable ideas to use as inspiration.

Once you've discovered the card holders you'd like to feature on your table, it's time to add the cards themselves. Keep the look clean and classic with a white card or make a bold statement with a letterpress card or card with a printed graphic. Write out the names by hand in a lovely, flowy script or create them on the computer and print them off in any number of fonts.

Table card holders are typically sold in sets of four, so determine how many seats you have at your table and purchase enough card holders to accommodate the seating. If your table is expandable, purchase enough to go around when the table is at maximum capacity. While you're at it, stock up on plenty of cards so you'll never be left without when the mood for entertaining strikes.
