A little doodle of someone’s favorite thing can make a place card feel personal before you even add their name.
Create a place card with an illustration chosen by the guest. This free blank is yours to save for a Thanksgiving table activity, a quiet afternoon, or a picture to share with friends.
Save your free blank
Open and save the free friendsgiving place card template. On your phone, open the image, then press and hold to save it.
Save the blank image below, then upload it in ChatGPT and send the prompt with it. You can also print the template and decorate it by hand. OpenAI’s image guide explains how to attach a reference and ask for changes.
Copy this prompt
Decorate the border of this Friendsgiving place card with a simple doodle based on a guest’s favorite hobby or food. Ask me what the guest has chosen first. Keep the central name space completely blank so I can write the name myself. Keep the rectangular card shape. Flat marker colors, no words, private details, logos, glitter, or glossy effects.
Check the result before sharing it. If it includes something you did not ask for, tell ChatGPT exactly what to remove or change. Your picture does not need to include anything you want to keep to yourself.
Make it without ChatGPT
Write the guest’s name in the empty center and draw a small favorite thing in one corner. Use the guest’s own suggestion. For a bigger card, fold a sheet of cardstock and attach the colored design to the front.
Let guests make their own
Set out blanks and markers when people arrive. Let them choose a name or nickname and a doodle. Place the cards only after you decide where everyone wants to sit; nobody needs to turn it into a formal seating chart.
