t can be difficult to choose your stationery with so many different formats and finishes available. Ordering a sample is a great way to see the quality, colours, and size in person before placing a full order. All samples are non-personalised and selected at random from previous orders, based on the layout you choose. They are designed to give you a feel for the card stock and print, not the content.

Whether you're finalising your table plan layout or simply exploring your options, our sample cards provide a useful reference point. You'll be able to check how different sizes display guest names and how well they suit the overall aesthetic of your event.

Each sample shows you the size, quality, and card type used for our table plan cards. We don’t personalise samples with your names or guest list – instead, you’ll receive a ready-printed card from our archive that reflects your selected format (such as A6, A5, or Top Table).

These samples are designed to be as helpful as possible when you're in the decision-making stage. You can see the thickness and colour of the card, feel the finish in your hands, and get an idea of how your final table plan might look. There’s no need to send us any wording or details for a sample. Once ordered, we’ll dispatch your sample as soon as possible – usually within 1–2 working days.

Please note that longer top table samples may be folded to reduce postage costs. All full orders are delivered flat.

Cards are available in the following approximate sizes:

• Small Table Card (A6): 10.5 x 14.8 cm

• Medium Table Card (5x7”): 12.7 x 17.8 cm

• Large Table Card (A5): 14.8 x 21 cm

• Small Long Top Table Card: Up to A4 in length (10.5 x 29.7 cm)

• Medium & Large Long Top Table Cards: Sized proportionately to match your selected table card size

These sizes help you visualise how your guest names will be laid out in the final design. You can also compare how each card works with your planned display method – whether you're framing them, pinning to a board, or attaching them with pegs or ribbon.

Just select which table card size you'd like a sample of using the dropdown menu above. If you're unsure or have any questions, feel free to email us and we’ll be happy to help.

There’s no need to provide guest names or design details – samples are generic but representative. You can explore different size options before committing to a full personalised order.

Please note: long top table samples may be folded to help keep postage costs down. This does not apply to full personalised orders, which are always packed flat and securely.

Generic Samples are usually dispatched within 1 - 2 working days. Shipping times may vary due to bank holidays or during busy periods.
