Each table should have a sign next to place set. Sometimes it is not necessary to do great things, just a ribbon of different colors next to each place with a little card on which you have to write your guest's name. We have also templates very easy to print and fold.
Remember that guest's name should be written with a fountain pen and by hand on the placeholder for a special touch in informal setting too.
