Name Place Cards for Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a time for celebration, family, and delicious food, and our free printable place cards are here to make your festivities even more special.

The elegant design features a red and gold theme—symbolizing luck and prosperity—and the zodiac animal for the year: the snake.

These cards add a festive flair to any occasion, whether you’re hosting a Chinese Banquet, setting up a buffet, or handing out party favors.

Year of the Snake

We have been sharing Chinese New Year Printables since the Year of the Monkey in 2016, and these printables are updated annually to reflect that year’s zodiac animal.

Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake begins on 29 January 2025.

Your Chinese zodiac is Snake if you were born in one of these years: 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, and 2025.

How To Use Printable Place Cards

Whether celebrating at home, organizing a classroom event, or planning a community gathering, these place cards are a simple yet effective way to enhance your decor and impress your guests.

These place cards are not only stylish but also incredibly versatile. You can use them as:

  • Name cards for dinner guests.
  • Label dishes on a buffet table.
  • Toppers for cellophane favor bags* filled with treats.

There are 8 designs in total featuring both the gold version of our snake and the full-color version (which has also been turned into a Build a Snake Printable Craft for kids to make).

To show you what these look like once assembled (in the loosest sense of the word!), below are the ones I made for the Year of the Monkey.

Your printables will have the correct Chinese Zodiac animal for the Year of the Snake!

*The cards are approximately 7.5cm/3″ wide, so bear that in mind when buying favor bags to fill.
