Discovering Stylish Place Cards ♡

While the folded place cards can certainly be designed in lovely ways,

Recently, I was scrolling through Instagram looking for "stylish and cute place cards" from brides overseas, and I came across a super cute place card!

That would be this, "acrylic place card" ♡

Don’t you think the letters written on the transparent acrylic look extremely chic?＊

How Overseas Brides Use "Acrylic Place Cards"＊

Acrylic place cards with guest names written on transparent acrylic were used in this way by brides overseas ♡

The classic method is to simply place the acrylic place card as it is. When placed on a beige napkin, it enhances a stylish table setting ♩

Here’s an idea of puncturing a pomegranate with the acrylic place card to secure it＊

It's cute how the acrylic place card sits delicately on top of the pomegranate! ♡

Placing an acrylic place card on top of a seashell is also lovely ♩

While writing names inside the shell can be difficult, using an acrylic place card gives the impression that the name is written directly on it＊

Making a place card from an acrylic board that sparkles and shines in rainbow colors is also beautiful ♡

I definitely recommend this for brides with a rainbow theme＊

If you’re worried that "the guest names may not be easy to read with thin marker on a transparent board," brides can simply paint the back of the acrylic board to create a background!

This will make it stand out clearly like when you write on paper ♩

It seems that white letters on transparent acrylic boards are popular for marker colors, but of course, using colored pens is also recommended ♡

Where Can You Get Acrylic Boards??

So, where can you buy the "acrylic boards" used for these stylish acrylic place cards?

After some searching, I found that on Rakuten, 10cm x 10cm boards with a thickness of 2mm are sold for 60 yen＊

You can use the acrylic board in its square form, or cut it in half and use it as a rectangle, which is also recommended ◎

Isn’t it amazing that you can create stylish place cards reminiscent of overseas weddings for just 60 yen each (30 yen if you cut it in half)??

It is definitely cheaper than having a paper item shop create them for you ♩

➡60 yen for a 10cm x 10cm acrylic board here＊

If the acrylic is about 2mm thick, it seems you can cut it with a regular cutter (although it requires some strength)＊

For brides who are worried, "I’m not good at writing, so I’m hesitant to handwrite the place cards…," you can print sample letters on your computer, place them under the acrylic, and trace them with tracing paper!

This way, you can easily mimic beautiful handwriting or your favorite font ♩

Brides Using "Plastic Boards" Instead of Acrylic!

While acrylic place cards are standard overseas, I also found brides who handmade their place cards using "plastic boards"＊

Indeed, transparent plastic boards look very similar to acrylic boards, and since they can be found at 100 yen shops, they seem like an easy option ♩

They can be easily cut with scissors, making it simple to create stylish tag-like place cards ♩
