Make sure your big day runs smoothly by organising your reception tables with our unique wedding place cards. To ensure a perfect match with the rest of your stationery, you can also customise and tweak any element of our bespoke name cards, from the font to the design. Purchase 20 or more for best pricing.

Feeling creative? Choose to have your wedding place cards blank so you can handwrite your loved one's names yourself or let us do the hard work and print them on your behalf using our wide range of fonts. We print all of our place cards for weddings on top-quality, super-sturdy card (we don't do flimsy!) and send them pre-creased to make folding easy or flat if you prefer.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS EXPLAINED
CARD COLOUR:  Choose from a smooth white or ivory 330gsm card or our lightly textured Premium Cream card. The premium card is a noticeably thicker 350gsm and adds a luxurious look and feel to your invitations.

PERSONALISED GUEST NAMES:  If you’d like each card to be individually personalised for each guest, this is the option for you. We will require a list of the guest names that we can copy and paste. Please either email us for a template, click on the link above right to download a template, or alternatively, list the names in a simple list with each name typed exactly as you’d like it printed. Please don’t precede the names with numbers, dashes, or bullet points as these will print along with the names. You can use an email, spreadsheet, or Word document to send them. See below if any of your guests have titles.

FLAT/FOLDED:  If you’d prefer your cards to be flat rather than folded, you can select this option. If you need extra space left at the bottom so that they can be put into stands, let us know by writing it on the order.

ACTUAL EVENT DATE: Please tell us the actual date of your event (not an earlier date)! This date is important as it helps us to keep track of the order and ensure you’ve selected the correct shipping option. Don’t worry, you can also tell us the date you’d actually like to receive it by below or in your notes, even if it’s months in advance!

WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVE YOUR ORDER BY?
As well as the event date, please tell us the date you would like this to be delivered by (it’s fine if it’s the same as the event date). We understand that sometimes customers travel to the wedding venue in advance or perhaps you’re just super organised and want to be sure you have everything well before the event. This date is important as it helps us to keep track of the order and ensure it will arrive in plenty of time. Please remember to take processing and shipping times into consideration when selecting your postage option during checkout. Please allow an additional 2 weeks for 2nd class delivery AFTER processing time and your order has been sent to print (we all know how post can be delayed).

NOTES FOR YOUR ORDER: This is where you can provide any details about your order even if it’s just to say you’ll email us. You can list the names here or you can simply email them to us afterwards. Whichever is more convenient for you.

I NEED THESE QUICKLY
If you need them within 2 weeks, please select the courier delivery (or the fastest shipping method available for your postcode. Surcharges may apply for highlands & islands). If you need them within a week, you must select both Priority Processing AND the courier delivery. Royal Mail 1st & 2nd class postage is not guaranteed, and we do not refund for late delivery.

TITLES: If you’d like to add titles to one or more of the cards (e.g. Mother of the Bride), please use a spreadsheet to send the details as the titles must be in a separate column to the names. All names must be in column 1 and the corresponding titles must be in column 2 (leave this column blank for those without titles). If you are unable to use a spreadsheet, please use a comma delimited format and write the name, followed by a comma, followed by the title (with no space between). E.g.:

Sarah Harrison,Bride
James Smith,Groom
Sally,Flower Girl

The comma will act as a line break so please don’t use commas within the name such as Smith, James. Both Smith and James would end up on separate lines.

FONTS
The font used will be as per the listing photographs. We copy all your text as plain text no matter what font you used to send the names. If you’d like to change the font(s), please add a note to the order. Please note that some fonts print capitals as a large lower-case letter. We cannot change this so please check you’re happy with the font as shown or choose another one.

PRINTING ON BACK OF CARDS:  Perhaps you’d like the event date or more of the pretty design on the back of the fold. Just add a note to the order.

PRINTING INSIDE THE FOLD: If you need any text to be printed on the inside of the folded cards, please contact us for details as additional charges will apply.

MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY: We have removed the minimum order quantity requirement on this listing as we get so many requests for reprints. Cheaper prices start from a quantity of 20 so if you need 10 or more, you may prefer to just purchase 20 and have some spare blanks.

SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Please note that some special characters (e.g. ö or é) may not print correctly with certain fonts. Please add a note to the order to let us know that there are special characters, and we will let you know if there is an issue with any of them.

PROOFS: We do not prepare proofs of place cards unless the design is unusual, and you specifically request one. Orders will go straight to print so if your design differs from that pictured, please add a message to the order as we will not check previous orders without being asked.

SAMPLE: If you would like a sample, either blank or with a random name, please click on the Order Sample button near the top right of the page.

If you have any other requirements, please drop us an e-mail and we will get back to you as soon as possible with a quote. Our email address is contact@vintageprints.co.uk

Approximate size when folded 9 x 3.3 cm

HOW TO SEND THE NAMES
We will require a list of the guest names that we can copy and paste. If you would like a spreadsheet template, you can either email us at contact@vintageprints.co.uk or click on the link near the top right of the listing to download a template. To send the names another way, please list them in a simple list with each name typed exactly as you’d like it printed. Please don’t precede the names with numbers, dashes, bullet points, spaces, indents, or any other symbols as these will print along with the names. You can write the names in the notes section or use an email, spreadsheet, or Word document to send them. Please note that if any of the names have titles, we will still need them in a spreadsheet as the names and titles need to be in separate columns.
Please remember to tell us if any of the names have special characters as these do not always translate into the fonts used.

Once we receive your order a member of our design team will check to ensure we can copy and paste the names. The order will then go straight to print unless you have included a message requesting otherwise.

We normally print place cards within 3 – 5 working days. The whole process normally takes around a week plus delivery time depending on the product and whether edits or proofs have been requested. Remember that Royal Mail postage is not guaranteed so if you need these in under 2 weeks, please select the courier delivery option. If you need your order even faster, please select both Priority Processing AND courier delivery when checking out.

NOTE ON SHIPPING: So often our customers place an order and assume that because they’ve selected 1st class postage, they’ll have their order in a matter of days. Please remember that the order must first be processed, printed, and dispatched. Royal Mail shipping is NOT guaranteed, and delays can and often do occur. If you do not have two weeks to spare, just for the delivery (not in total), please select the courier option. We are not responsible for delivery delays and do not refund personalised items. Please see our T&Cs for full details.

After you have approved your proof, we aim to dispatch most orders within 3 - 6 working days, depending on the product type (please see individual product details for dispatch times). Large orders with assembling, gluing or foil pressing may take a few days longer. All digital foiling takes around 3 full weeks to print. Samples are usually dispatched within 1 - 3 working days. Shipping times may vary due to bank holidays or during busy periods.

Royal Mail 2nd Class postage (no rush) – Royal Mail quote 3-5 working days however in our experience this often takes longer and can take up to 3 weeks. Please do not select this option if you need to receive your order within 3 weeks of approval for print. It really does mean ‘no rush’!

Royal Mail 1st Class postage (not guaranteed) – Royal Mail quote 1 – 2 working days however, in our experience this often takes considerably longer and can take up to 10 days. Please do not select this option if you must receive your order within 10 days of approval for print.

Tracked 24 (tracked but not guaranteed) – Royal Mail quote 1 – 2 working days however, this is not guaranteed and has been known to take a full 10 days. If it’s crucial you receive your order within 10 days of sending your order to print, this is not the option for you.

*Next Day Delivery takes 1 or 2 working days (weekends & holidays excluded).

*Next Day Options are only available for UK mainland. Please contact us separately for shipping to Northern Ireland or any of the other islands or highlands.

If you require any other shipping such as Guaranteed Next Day or Saturday Delivery, please contact us separately for a quote. Most shipping options can be upgraded for a surcharge.

Shipping Abroad
Sadly, Brexit has made it impossible for us to ship to Europe. There are companies available that will handle this for you and provide a UK shipping address for you. Companies such as https://forwardvia.com/ and https://www.shopandship.com/ are just 2 examples. The best option is usually to have your order shipped to friends or family in the UK who can then forward things on for you.

FAST TRACK ORDERS
If you choose to add priority processing to your order, it will flag up for us and will then jump to the front of the queue and take priority. We will make sure that your order is processed as quickly as possible from proofs through to printing and dispatch. We will aim to prepare your proofs within 1 or 2 days and will also endeavour to dispatch your order as soon as possible once you’ve approved your proofs.
Please contact us for availability before placing your order if you need your order within just a few days. Large format items (Foamex/2mm Card) still need a minimum of 4 days to be processed, printed, and shipped. Traditional foil pressing also takes a few days because a plate has to first be manufactured before we can even begin pressing.

Digital Foiling orders (not to be confused with our traditional foil pressing) cannot be sped up once they have been sent to print so there is no need to select priority processing.

Please note that your order will still be dispatched using whichever shipping method you choose during checkout so if you select 2nd class postage, the order will simply slow down once we’ve dispatched it. We recommend selecting our Next Day delivery service (UK mainland only. Weekends & holidays excluded).
