1. Custom Place Cards: Create personalized place cards for each guest with their names written or printed in an elegant font. You can even include a thoughtful message or quote.

2. Photo Place Cards: Attach small photo frames to each place setting with a picture of each guest. This not only helps people find their seats but also adds a sentimental element.
