Setting Your Reception Tables

Favors: Favors are a nice way of thanking guests for attending such a memorable occasion in your life. The idea behind offering favors is that they are special from the bride and groom. While this is a nice gesture, guests do not expect to receive a favor. Favors should not be too expensive and should not consume too much time. Favors are either placed at the top of the place setting or on the guest table. A modern favor is to provide each guest a small bag that they may fill with their favorite candies.

Table Numbers/Names: Each table number or name can be displayed as a simple tent card or designed to complement the event theme. Get creative with the table names you select: places you traveled together, streets you have lived on, favorite movies, etc.

Menu: Each place setting can have menu cards folded within the napkins to educate guests about the meal. You may also include the receptions events to inform guests of what the evening is to hold.
Place Cards: Each guests name is printed on a card and is placed at a particular place setting. Place cards can be pre-placed or guests can pick up their card when entering the event. If you would like for the guests to pick-up their card, make sure you have a table reserved and in the appropriate place for them as they walk in.
