Wedding Favours That Double as Place Settings

Direct answer: a keyring, coaster or place card engraved with a guest's name does two jobs in one — it tells them where to sit, and it's the favour they take home. Here's how to use guest-name personalisation to cut a step out of your table planning.

Why a named favour replaces a separate place card

Most weddings need both a place card and a favour. Engraving the guest's name directly onto the favour item removes the need for a separate printed card — one object does both jobs, and it's the object guests actually keep rather than the card they leave on the table.

Guest name keyrings

The Personalised Guest Name Keyring is engraved with each guest's name and doubles as a place setting and a take-home favour.

Heart-shaped place cards

The Heart-Shaped Wedding Favours are engraved with guest names and work well on formal table settings where a keyring format doesn't suit the styling.

Named coasters

The Oak Veneer Wedding Coasters offer a practical, stylish option — a coaster with a guest's name serves as their place marker and something they'll actually use at home afterwards.

Choosing between formats

Keyrings suit a more casual reception where guests are likely to use them straight away. Coasters and heart-shaped cards suit a more formal table setting where the item needs to sit flat and look considered before the meal starts.
