Learn how to elegantly place cards using Gold Lucky Elephant Place Card Holders. A step-by-step guide for table setting success.
Quick answer
To set a place card with Gold Lucky Elephant Place Card Holders, slide a properly sized card into the trunk slot, then position the holder centered above each plate for a balanced table setting.
Why choose elephant place card holders
Gold Lucky Elephant Place Card Holders add a unique, exotic touch to tablescapes. Their antique gold resin finish works well with jewel-toned weddings or Moroccan-themed events. The trunk is designed to hold a card securely, so guests can also take them home as favors.
Card size and material considerations
These holders have a narrow trunk slot. Test your place cards beforehand: standard 2x3.5 inch cards may need trimming to fit. Use lightweight cardstock to avoid bending the trunk or making the holder tip over.
Step-by-step place card setting
- Step 1: Prepare your place cards: Cut or print place cards to roughly 2x3 inches. Lightweight cardstock works best. Slide a card into the elephant's trunk slot to confirm it fits without forcing. If the card is too thick, the holder may not stand upright.
- Step 2: Position the holder on the table: Place the Gold Lucky Elephant Place Card Holder centered above the dinner plate, about 1-2 inches from the plate's edge. Ensure the elephant faces the guest for easy reading. Avoid placing it too close to water glasses—condensation can damage the card.
- Step 3: Check balance and alignment: Gently press the base to ensure the holder is stable. Adjust the card so it sits straight. For a cohesive look, line up all holders along the same imaginary line across the table. Uneven cards can make the table look messy; use a ruler as a quick guide.
