The seating plan is never quite finished: a guest cancels, a partner is added, two names trade tables. Order place cards and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and the corrected set is printed the same day and delivered on the next working day to any UK mainland address, wherever the venue is. Order after the cut-off, or at a weekend or on a bank holiday, and the cards print on the next working day and arrive the working day after that; the dates on this page show which.
Place cards print on silk card in 250gsm, 300gsm, 350gsm or 400gsm, or uncoated in 250gsm, 300gsm or 350gsm for a matt surface. Sizes include a 90 × 90 mm folded tent card that stands on the setting, plus A6, A5 and A4 and custom sizes, single or double sided, in tiers from 10 to 200 or a custom count. Design the names online or upload a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed; the card price is unchanged by the delivery speed.

How next-day place cards work
Order and approve by 2.30pm
Choose your options, upload your artwork or finish a design online, and pay by 2.30pm Mon–Fri. Choose next-day delivery at checkout, then approve your free proof by the same time, because we print once you approve.
Printed the same day
Your place cards are printed in our London print room the same afternoon, one name per card on the silk or uncoated stock you chose, then trimmed and creased where needed.
Delivered the next working day
A tracked courier delivers the next working day anywhere on the UK mainland. Next-day delivery skips weekends and bank holidays, and the dates above already account for that. Saturday Delivery is offered at checkout, to UK mainland addresses, when your order can leave us on a Friday: order between 2.30pm on Thursday and 2.30pm on Friday, and approve your artwork by 2.30pm on Friday.

The next-day rule
Next-day delivery needs your order in, and your artwork approved, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri for delivery the next working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, not from the time you order, so orders placed or artwork approved after that, or at weekends and bank holidays, are dispatched on the next working day and arrive the working day after. Every order gets a free print preview within the hour; changes to the artwork itself are a priced service per file, back within the hour too.
Missed the 2.30pm cutoff? In London, choose the Priority courier at checkout: printed first thing on the next working day and delivered by tracked courier that day (tomorrow when you order Monday to Thursday), priced like same-day.
What counts
- Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding England and Wales bank holidays; the print room is in London.
- Next-day delivery covers the UK mainland; Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland rates and timings are shown at checkout.
- Order and approve your artwork by the cut-off, whether it is a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed or a finished online design: we book production from your approval, not your payment.
- Not in a hurry? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50 and takes 3-5 working days.
Next-day place cards FAQs
Do next-day place cards come folded so they stand up?
Choose the 90 × 90 mm folded option and each card is printed and creased so it folds into a tent that stands on the place setting. The A6, A5 and A4 options are single cards printed to the size you choose, for laying on a plate or tucking into a holder. Creasing is done in the same afternoon as printing, so the folded format carries no extra day.
Which card weights are available for place cards next day?
Silk in 250gsm, 300gsm, 350gsm and 400gsm, and uncoated in 250gsm, 300gsm and 350gsm. For a tent card that has to stand all evening, 350gsm or 400gsm is the sensible choice; 250gsm suits flat cards in a holder. Uncoated stocks have a soft matt surface and take ink from a fountain pen if you plan to add handwritten touches.
How do I print place cards for sixty guests without mixing up any of the names?
Build one card in the online designer, complete with your chosen stock and layout, then step through the guest list swapping in each name and table number in turn. If you would rather set the whole run yourself, upload a single PDF with one place card per page, at the finished size with 3 mm bleed, arranged in the order you plan to lay them out. Either way, order and approve the finished file by 2.30pm Mon–Fri: we book production from your approval, not your payment, and a spelling cannot be corrected once the run is underway.
Is there still time to get corrected place cards for tomorrow if a guest cancels this morning?
Yes, as long as the corrected file is ordered and approved by 2.30pm Mon–Fri: the set prints that same day and a courier delivers it on the next working day to any UK mainland address. Miss 2.30pm, or place the order over a weekend or bank holiday, and the set prints on the next working day instead, arriving the day after that. The dates shown at the top of this page are worked out from today's date, so you can check which timetable applies before you finalise the change.
Does next-day delivery reach a venue outside London?
Yes. The next-working-day service covers every UK mainland address, so a country-house hotel or a rural church hall is treated the same as a city venue. Enter the delivery address at checkout, where the delivery speed is priced for that address. The place cards themselves cost the same wherever they are going.
Can I have the place cards sent straight to the venue?
Yes. Enter the venue as the delivery address and add the event name and a contact for the wedding coordinator or events team, so the parcel is put aside for you. If the venue cannot accept a delivery the day before, send them to yourself instead; a home or office address anywhere on the UK mainland gets the same next-working-day timetable.
Can I use artwork I made with ChatGPT, Canva or another AI tool?
Yes. Every file is checked before it prints, whatever made it. AI images are often made at screen size, so on a larger print they can come out soft: if yours would, we show you which image and you choose to print it as it is, upload a sharper file, or send us the high-resolution images and our studio updates the artwork for you. You can run the same check before you order with our free file check.
What does next-day delivery cost for place cards?
Next-day delivery is from £9.95 +VAT to UK mainland addresses. The exact charge for your address is shown at checkout, and the product price is the same as any other day.
