"Front: Name, Back: Message. But what about the other side? Adding a sweet message to the 'Back of the Folded Place Card' is so cute! ♡"

The classic "Folded Place Card" for Weddings

When it comes to place cards used in weddings, the folded place card is a classic choice.

☑ Affordable whether handmade or purchased

☑ You can write a message on the backside

☑ High design flexibility

For these reasons, folded place cards have been loved for a long time◎

What's on the "Opposite Side" of the Folded Place Card?

The standard design for a folded place card typically includes:

☑ Front side: Name

☑ Back side (inside): Message to the guest

While this is standard, do you know what is written on the opposite side (the back side where the name is written)??

The opposite side of the place card is usually blank. Since it's a part that isn’t visible from the front, this is to be expected, but wouldn’t you want to design and print something there anyway.....??

Let’s Add a Short Message on the Opposite Side of the Folded Place Card♩

While it's standard for the opposite side of the folded place card to be blank, I’m sure there are brides who want to "add some decoration!"

For those brides, it’s recommended to add a "short message" on the opposite side of the folded place card.

Here's an example where a message was added to the place card — there’s a logo behind the name, which looks lovely, don’t you think?♡

Messages on the back side of place cards are becoming more common, so while they might be less surprising, messages on the opposite side are still relatively few, adding a little surprise♩

Recommended Messages for the Opposite Side of the Place Card♡

Here are some recommended messages for the opposite side of the place card.

This bride wrote “have a nice day”♡ The cute font is a nice touch♩

A bride added flowers in a vase along with the words "Thank you" and the wedding date — the five mini bouquets look so festive♡

This bride also included “Thank you♡” on the back of the place card.

The floral design connects to the front, making the place card look beautiful from the back as well♩

A Great Alternative if You Don't Want to Write a Message

Instead of writing a message on the back of the place card, you can include something like this on the opposite side:

“Thank you so much for coming today despite your busy schedule. Please take your time and relax.”

☑ If you're short on time and can't write a message on the back of the place card

☑ If you're not good at writing and feel hesitant to write a message on the back

This method is recommended for brides in those situations◎

One Important Note When Adding Messages on the "Opposite Side"

When creating a message on the opposite side of the place card, there is an important point to consider!

That is, to place the message **in the opposite direction.**

If you put the message on the opposite side in the same direction as the place card, the text will be upside down when folded. So, be sure to arrange the text in reverse orientation beforehand♩
