Place card portraits · Weddings & formal dinners

A portrait at every seat.

Each guest's place card carries a hand-drawn portrait of them, drawn in the studio from a photo you send. They find their seat by finding themselves, and the card goes home as a keepsake.

Questions

Before you get in touch

What kind of photo do you need?

One photo per guest that shows their face clearly and is in focus. Not a group shot we have to crop from.

When are photos due?

Photos and the final guest list are due four weeks before the event.

What if a guest's photo never arrives?

Guests without a usable photo by the deadline do not receive a card, and the order is priced on the list as it stood at the deadline.

Can we add guests after the deadline?

Only if the studio has capacity, at the standard $45 per guest.

How do the cards reach the venue?

We ship them, tracked, to you or your planner at least ten days before the event. Shipping within the US is included in the price.

Is there a minimum?

Yes, 20 guests.

Do we have to book live portraits too?

No. Place card portraits stand on their own. They also pair well with live portraits on the night, see the packages.
