How to Style Plantable Place Cards: A Beautifully Simple Guide for UK Weddings and Events.

Plantable place cards are one of those clever little touches that add elegance, order, and eco-conscious charm to any event. Whether you’re setting up a wedding table, dinner party, or a corporate lunch, these soft seed paper cards offer a zero-waste alternative to standard name cards — and they look brilliant too.

Here’s how to style them with ease, including Amazon UK links to everything you’ll need.

Choose Your Card Size

Standard Size – 85mm x 60mm flat (folds to 85mm x 30mm)

Perfect for small, elegant settings. Pre-creased so you won’t need to fuss with folds or risk cracking the card.

Large Size – 100mm x 90mm flat (folds to 100mm x 45mm)

Ideal if you want more space to write, draw, or decorate. A great option for long names or creative extras like mini illustrations or logos.

Display Options: Fold or Hold

These pre-scored cards can stand up on their own when folded, but if you’re going for a flat layout or a rustic table look, try these mini wooden place card holders.

Shop Mini Wooden Table Name Holders (50 Pack)

They work especially well on textured tablecloths or if you want your cards to stay perfectly upright through dinner and dancing.

Write in Style (Without Smudging)

Because seed paper is soft and fibrous, we recommend using gel pens rather than heavy calligraphy ink. These metallic pens offer vibrant colour and great control with no risk of bleeding.

Shop ANYUKE 12-Pack Metallic Gel Pens

From gold and silver to purple and teal, they work on both white and natural-toned card. A safe, pretty upgrade from the average biro.

Add a Decorative Touch

If you want to add something special to your place cards — especially for weddings or styled events — a wax seal is a classic choice. You can seal envelopes, stamp initials onto the card face, or just use it as a decorative motif.

Shop Wax Seal Kit with Metallic Pens

This kit includes gold and silver pens, a melting spoon, sealing wax sticks, and a stamp. It’s a beginner-friendly way to make your stationery feel truly bespoke.

Final Thoughts

With just a few tools, you can turn blank seed paper place cards into beautiful little keepsakes that guests will admire — and later plant. Whether you go minimalist or full-on cottagecore, these biodegradable cards are a lovely and practical choice.
