Place Cards with a classic look

January 31, 2018

I adore place cards with a classic look for casual to black tie weddings. These in particular are a favorite for the classic black ink on white cotton paper. The look is a bit fresh with the use of my Sofia script which has a modern sentiment.

Place card with the guests first name only are ideal for a smaller event and show an intimacy of a thoughtful event. When you have a larger celebration, we always suggest place cards with first and last names to help communicate the traffic flow a bit more efficiently.

And for those of you asking: what is the difference between a place card and an escort card? A place card is the card with your guests name placed at the specific seat you want your guest to sit at. Only one guest can be listed on this card. An escort card is a card or envelope/card combo that contains your guests name and the table number you want them to sit at. This can contain a couple or individual names.

It is possible to have escort cards without place cards, but we do recommend to not have place cards in a classic look without escort cards unless the guest count is under 30.

Romantic Wedding Invitation

December 20, 2016

This romantic wedding invitation was created by the talented Ceci New York back in 2014.  I had the immense joy of providing the calligraphy for the invitation as well as envelope addressing and seating cards.  The letterpress and rose gold foil treatment was forward thinking 2 years ago (hard to believe it’s been that long!) and her illustrated florals are gorgeous!  Everything was wrapped in a laser cut wrap to keep the parts together. We used my Talia script and it provided the most perfect amount of romance for this invitation.

Here is a photo of the whole suite. I love the envelope addressing in grey to not make everything too blingy.  But the seating cards turned out to be a favorite.  The calligraphy ink is actually a rose gold shimmer (just couldn’t photograph it!) and matched the foil perfect.  I love how they used the floral motif 2 different ways for the seating cards.  It was perfect for this intimate celebration.

Calligraphy Seating Cards – New York and Dallas Calligrapher

October 7, 2015

Leaves have been a trend this year for calligraphy seating cards and they can be done so many different ways!  I think that white looks best on the green to provide the most contrast and easiest to read when the mass of people enter the reception space.  This first one we did tall capital letters to keep a modern and clean look for this fun mitzvah celebration.  These were pinned onto golden apples to show people to their seats.  Lovely!

This second set were handing from a floral tree (how marvelous) for a wedding reception.  They were folded to provide dimension but it was important that we keep everything on one side for this project.  So we used my zanner calligraphy hand in white ink and put the name and table number on the same side.  Let me tell you – this was tiny writing when we started getting 2 full names on these.  Since this was a large wedding, the tree was really full with all the beautiful leaves!
