Escort CardHow should i write my Escort Cards on these? 1

These are my escort cards, vintage 1950s library index card dividers with tilted tabs at the top. Im trying to decide if I want their name in the tab (but would be small and might be difficult to read easily), the table name (Im doing names not numbers), or something else? The first letter of their last name? Also would love any ideas of what extras to write on the cards. Im always open to creativity!!

    I love this idea! I think everyone’s attention will be drawn to the larger text on the card so I don’t think I’d put any pertinent information on the tab. You can put your date, a thank you, etc on the tab but I do like the initials idea since that’s usually what’s on the tab of a library card.

    I love this idea! I agree that you shouldn't rely on the tab for important info. You could always put the household name there. Could you mimic the formatting of an old library catalog card? Will the call number as the table number and maybe a fun fact or their relation to you/FH as the description?

    Thank you! I was thinking something along the same lines! I had looked at vintage library cards for the longest time too, but when I saw these I loved them.
