I Want to Fill Up the Blank Space on the Back of the Place Cards!!
Place cards on the guest tables. Recently, it's become popular not only to focus on design but also to write a "place card message" addressed to guests on the back of the cards ♩
Reading the bride's beautifully written messages on the back of the place cards might make some guests teary even before the reception starts.
While these wonderful place card messages are great, there still remains some blank space after writing the messages.
Therefore, some brides are adding extra decorations to the blank portions in addition to writing messages.
Here are some decoration ideas for the back of place cards that I found on Instagram ♡
Other than messages! Cute Ways to Fill the Blank Space on the Back of Place Cards① Attach Photos with Guests
The first idea to introduce is to print out small memorable photos with guests and stick them on the back.
Guests might look at the photos with past brides and reminisce, thinking, "I remember this time."
Since their own face will jump out at them when they turn over the place card, it adds an element of surprise as well*
You could stick purikura (photo booth prints), collage several cut-out photos, or decorate the photos with pens… there are many creative possibilities ♩
Although searching for photos for dozens of guests can be very challenging, the joy it brings to the guests is immense♡ Reflecting on the memory photos could enhance the bride's feelings of gratitude toward the guests.
Other than messages! Cute Ways to Fill the Blank Space on the Back of Place Cards② Attach Pre-Wedding Photos
There’s also the idea of attaching wedding photos taken before the ceremony on the back of the place cards.
Even though many photos are taken during pre-wedding shoots, very few can be used for welcome boards or profile books. It would be great to show guests more photos.
Some photo studios provide hundreds of cut data, allowing you to attach all different photos ♡
Brides who do not wear traditional attire at the wedding might find that attaching pre-wedding photos in traditional clothing adds a refreshing touch that guests will appreciate◎
Other than messages! Cute Ways to Fill the Blank Space on the Back of Place Cards③ Stamps
Here’s an idea of stamping one side of the back of the place card. It features an original stamp with the wedding date and initials combined with a Snoopy stamp. It shows the effort put into the design, not just on the front but also the back ♡
It might also be nice to use a wedding logo stamp♩
Other than messages! Cute Ways to Fill the Blank Space on the Back of Place Cards④ Stickers
In addition to handwritten messages, there’s also the idea of sticking stickers ♡ You could use stickers that say "Thank You," stickers of your favorite characters, or wedding-themed stickers, and use designs you like.
The fact that it's less effort than using photos or stamps is also appealing ♩
