Place Cards & Cuisine Labels are such an easy way to help guests maneuver effortlessly through a food table and then find their place at the dining table without the awkward "where do I sit" moment. These easy DIY Black & White Place Cards and Cuisine Labels are a great option.
What you need:
1 Disposable mat to work on (I use salvaged cardboard)
1 Black piece of card stock (makes 4 Cards)

1 Small bottle of white acrylic paint
1 Black ink pad
1 Wide paint brush
1 White gel pen
1. Gather your supplies and lay out your disposable work surface.
2. Fold black card stock in half and then in quarters.
It will look like this.
