Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder*
Place this adorable bride and groom getaway car to accent your place setting and the table starts telling the story before anyone sits down. The Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder is the moment everyone waits for at the end of the night, shrunk down to 1-1/2 inches and set beside the plate: the couple in the car, on their way out, with the guest's name riding along.
It is made from pewter, so it has the weight of metal in the hand rather than the flex of a folded card or a plastic stand. That weight matters more than it sounds at a reception. A card propped against a glass slides, curls and ends up face down under a napkin by the time the first course arrives, while a small metal holder stays exactly where the table was set, through the toasts, the plates and the passing of the bread.
At 1-1/2" wide it sits beside the plate without competing with the centerpiece, low enough to see across and small enough that a long table of them reads as a pattern rather than as clutter. Line the escort card table with them so guests collect a car on the way in. Set them at the head table for the wedding party. Use them along the sweetheart table or on the cake table for the little signs that say what each dessert is.
The Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder does not end its life when the tables are cleared, either. Guests slip them into a pocket or a handbag, and they turn up months later holding a photograph corner on a shelf or a business card on a desk, which is a longer memory than most reception details manage. Shipped by HansonEllis, which has been outfitting weddings and personalized celebrations since 1999.

Which one should I choose
At a seated reception the real choice is between a holder that stands on its own and a card that leans on something else.
| Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder | Choose it when you want a pewter keepsake at each seat that carries the getaway car theme and survives the whole dinner service. |
|---|---|
| A folded tent card on the plate | Choose plain folded cards when the table setting is minimal and nothing should be taken home. |
| A generic wire or clip card holder | Choose those when the holders are purely functional and the motif does not matter to the couple. |
If you want the place cards to be part of the decor rather than an admin task, the pewter getaway car does both jobs at once.
Ordering the Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder for weddings and events
Ordering the Bride & Groom Car Place Card Holder for a wedding, a rehearsal dinner or a company event is straightforward. There is no minimum order, so count one holder per named seat and add a few for the escort card table and the cake table. Because there is no text field on the holder, no name list is needed: the guest names live on the cards it holds, so late seating changes mean reprinting a card rather than reordering. Company logos are a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].

Are place cards included?
Place cards are not listed as included with the holder. The holder is the stand; the name cards are supplied separately.
Is it personalized with a guest's name?
No. There is no text personalization field on this page. The guest's name goes on the card the holder carries, so one holder suits any name.
Can it be engraved instead?
The listing offers no engraving field. If you want to ask whether engraving is possible, email [email protected] before ordering.
