Free design templates
Each template has the bleed, cut line and safe area already marked, so your file is set up correctly first time:
- Download your size and corner style — PDF for Illustrator, Affinity or InDesign; PNG for Photoshop or Canva.
- Open it in your design app, or place it on a locked layer at 100% size — it already includes the 3mm bleed.
- Design over it: run your background right to the red bleed edge and keep text and logos inside the green safe area.
- Hide or delete the template layer, then export a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300dpi) and upload it with your order.
Delivered within 3-5 working days of ordering, once your free proof is approved. That window is the whole job, not just the van: we print, finish and dispatch your order and the tracked carrier delivers it. The clock starts when you approve your free digital proof, so approving promptly is the fastest thing you can do.

- • Standard delivery — 3-5 working days, free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £25, £2.95 below that
- • Next-day delivery — next working day when you order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri, priced at checkout
- • Next-day by 1pm or by 10.30am — next working day, by the time chosen, when you order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri, priced at checkout

The Highlands & Islands, offshore and international addresses are priced live at checkout, as are unusually heavy orders — over 15kg is £14.95 whatever the order value. Very large pieces (any side over 120cm, such as A0 boards) go by courier rather than post: £7.95 on Standard, with the faster services at the courier's large-parcel rate, shown at checkout.

Every order is covered by the Presswift Guarantee: printed to the proof you approve and the specification you choose, or put right. If what arrives is damaged, short or does not match the approved proof, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number, photos of the problem and a count of the affected copies, and keep the copies unused while we look. We reprint the affected copies to the same specification or, where a reprint is not practical, refund them; approved refunds reach your original payment method within 7-10 working days. Read the Presswift Guarantee.
Because every job is printed to your own artwork and specification, we cannot take a return simply because you have changed your mind, and errors carried through the proof you approved, or colour and trim variation within normal print tolerance, are not print faults. That is what the free digital proof is for — check the colours, wording and layout on the proof and nothing goes to press until you are happy with it.
What are place cards used for?
Place cards tell each guest where to sit by displaying their name, and often a table number, at their setting. They keep seating organised at weddings, formal dinners, and events, and help the meal service run smoothly for larger gatherings.
Can place cards be printed with individual names?
Yes. You can supply a clear list of guest names to have each card personalised, or leave the name area blank to write them in by hand. Double-check every spelling before you approve the proof, as names are easy to mistype.
Do place cards match other wedding stationery?
They can. Many couples order place cards alongside invitations, RSVP cards, and menus using the same colours and fonts. A matched set gives each table a coordinated look that ties the whole reception together.
How should I supply my guest name list?
Send the names in a clear, ordered document such as a spreadsheet or list, with exact spellings and any table numbers. Accurate details help us set the cards correctly and reduce the chance of errors on the printed items.
When should I order place cards for my wedding?
Order once your seating plan is confirmed, allowing time for the free digital proof and standard UK delivery of 3 to 5 working days. Giving yourself a buffer means the cards arrive well before the day.

Do you offer bulk discounts on Place Cards?
Yes. Place Cards carry quantity discounts, so the price per unit falls as the run grows. Change the quantity on this page and the discount is applied to the total automatically.
Can I get Place Cards delivered the same day?

About Place Cards
Place cards are small pieces of wedding and event stationery that show each guest where to sit. Printed with a name and often a table number, they guide people to their seats and keep a reception running smoothly. A matched design ties them to your invitations and menus for a coordinated table setting.
As well as directing guests, place cards add a considered finishing touch to each setting. They suit weddings, formal dinners, corporate galas, and christenings where organised seating matters. You can have them printed with individual guest names or leave space to write names by hand for a personal flourish.
Supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF at 300dpi in CMYK with 3mm bleed, and provide your name list clearly if you would like them personalised. We send a free digital proof so you can check every spelling, and standard UK delivery is 3 to 5 working days ahead of your big day. In a hurry? Design tent place cards in our online editor before the weekday cut-off for same-day courier delivery across London.
