proper form for place cards for a wedding reception?

Question

i.e. Mr. & Mrs. John Doe or John and Jane Doe?

Answer 1

depends on how formal you are going... I would do one name per place card if you have a specific seat for them. If just a specific table you could do both on one..

very formal... Mr. & Mrs. John Doe
less formal... John & Jane Doe or John on one and Jane on other + last name

Answer 2

Mr. John Doe
Mrs. John Doe
Ms Jane Doe (adult woman)
Master John Doe (for a boy)
Miss Jane Doe (for a girl)

Answer 3

Mr. & Mrs. John Doe if you have married couples who want to sit together.
But for ones that are dating, on one card: John Buck & Jane Doe

For those not dating, single put John Buck on one card and Jane Doe on another card.

I would place it man - woman- man-woman
If you do it that way some that are single might strike up a conversation w/ someone that might turn out to be their significant other.

Answer 4

Well, you'll certainly need one for each of them. Having one card that says "Mr. and Mrs." won't work, since they'll each need a seat of their own.

Part of me says that LuckyPuff is right, and that it depends on the formality of the event.

Another part of me says that if I put "Mrs. John Doe" on the card for my mother, she would never find it, since she wouldn't be looking for my dad's name amongst the cards (she was given a name at birth, and is quite insistent that everyone use it).

I think it would be entirely appropriate to use "Mr. John Doe" and "Mrs. Jane Doe" for the cards.

Answer 5

married- mrs. and mrs. john doe
dating- mr. jon doe ms. jane doe
singe- mr. john doe (separate card)
single- ms. jane doe (separate card)

Answer 6

Place cards. tell them where to sit... Joh doe Jane Doe.

and placed to the upper right of the plate
