What place cards cost

Place cards start from about $0.10 each inc GST on standard card stock, moving up with size, stock and finish. We also run variable data, which means every card prints with a different name automatically rather than being set one at a time — that is what makes a 150-guest set practical rather than painful. White ink on dark or coloured stock is available too.

What is the difference between a place card and a seating card?
They are usually the same thing, and the terms are used interchangeably. A place card sits at a specific seat with one guest name on it, marking exactly where that person sits. Some venues call the same item a seating card or a name card. What it is not is an escort card, which is collected at the entrance and tells a guest which table to go to but not which seat. If you are using a seating chart at the door you generally do not need escort cards, but you may still want place cards on the table.
Do we need place cards if we have a seating chart?
Only if you are assigning specific seats rather than just tables. A seating chart gets a guest to the right table; place cards decide who sits next to whom once they are there. For a plated meal with a set menu per guest, place cards also tell the venue staff which meal goes where, which is the practical reason most caterers ask for them. For a shared or buffet service, a chart alone is usually enough.
