Printable Christmas place cards with a question on the back

Type your guests’ names, print, cut out and fold. Kids can color the drawings before everyone sits down, and on the back each guest finds a question that gets the table talking – light and funny, instead of the awkward “So, when are you getting married?”.

How to make the place cards

  1. Type the guests’ names into the cards – or leave them empty and write the names by hand.
  2. Print both pages at 100% scale.
  3. Cut out each card along the solid line.
  4. Fold it in half along the dashed line, printed side out.
  5. Color the drawing – a good job for the kids before dinner.
  6. Stand the card by a plate, name facing the table. The guest who sits there reads the question.
