Golden Crane- Custom Place Cards- Upright

In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean traditions alike, the crane carries a weight of meaning that few creatures can match: longevity, grace, fidelity, and the particular kind of good fortune that comes to those who live well. The Golden Crane renders this bird with the fluid economy of line and the luminous warmth of gold that the subject has always deserved — a place card of serene elegance that brings an East Asian aesthetic sensibility to the table without self-consciousness or contrivance. For any gathering that appreciates beauty that means something. Printed on cold-press watercolor paper.

Available in Two Sizes

• Classic — 16 place cards per pack
• Event — 12 place cards per pack

Blank or Calligraphed?

Your place cards arrive with blank backs, ready for your own hand or a calligrapher of your choosing. Prefer to arrive fully prepared? Our Digital Calligraphy service prints your guests' names in your chosen script. Explore our font collection.

• Customize your place cards with your guest's names. With numerous fonts to choose from, you can have your cards arrive perfectly calligraphed with your guest's names printed on the backs. That's one less thing for you to do.
• Choose your style of calligraphy above, then add up to 16 guest's names for classic size, or 8 guest's names for Event size.
• Please note: Our standard practice is to feature first names only. Should you wish to include full guest names (first + last), a 50% surcharge will apply to the calligraphy fee, as each card requires additional design time and layout consideration.
• We even include a blank card called "Try your hand" to test your writing instrument if you want to write your names yourself or send them out to your calligrapher.
