How to Use DIY Place Cards
You might think Place Cards are just for formal seating, but there are Endless ways to use them for Parties and Events.
Food Tags
We’re always Creative with our Party Foods. I love making matching Treats that suit the Celebration Theme!
Using Place Cards as Food Tags is a great way to show off your Fun Food Ideas.
Check out these Camping Foods from Donte's Camp Out Birthday Party. The “Bait” gummy worms were such a hit! These cards use Printed Text and Camp Stickers to highlight the theme.
Here’s another example from our Shimmer & Shine Party, where Place Cards label themed foods like “Enchanted Chips” and “Rainbow Waterfall”. So Magical!
Place Cards also work perfectly at Beverage Stations. They help guests choose their drinks and add a little style to your setup. Here’s a gorgeous example from our Mimosa Bar blog.
