Table Place Cards DIY For Fall Table Settings

Oh, it’s that time of the year again, when leaves turned their color to a beautiful red, and life becomes just more pretty. I love the Fall season, and Fall crafts as well. Hence, today’s post is all about DIY table place cards for Fall table settings! Let’s see what they are, and how can you make them.

What Are Table Place Cards?  

The pretty simple answer to this is that table cards or table name cards, or even table place cards, are the piece of paper in beautiful writing that states the name of the person who is going to claim that seat on the dining table or conference room table where the card has been placed. 

On business dinners or meetings, table name cards state the names of guests and the table number. However, for the family dinner or lunch, you don’t need the table number. 

Do You Put First And Last Name On Place Cards

My personal opinion is to only place the first name if it’s an informal gathering, and add the last name if it’s a formal gathering with the title, such as Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.

Let’s start the tutorial now. For this project, I have used “Dollar Tree” Products, and here is the supply list:

• 7 Small Frames
• Decorative Fall Stickers
• Construction Paper 
• Sharpie Marker

The tutorial is going to take less than 2 minutes, and here are the steps for you…

Trace a piece of construction paper using the paper from the frame as a sample. After you trace it, cut the paper using scissors. Then, using a Sharpie, write the name of the guest on the paper. Then, place it in the frame.

Don’t use glue on it. Otherwise, you can’t reuse this frame for any other occasion.
