Escort cards-- help!

Clear labels

We've thought of those, too, but are afraid they'll be obvious. We're definitely using them for the invitations, tho.

OTW has a great idea with the clear labels. Sadly IDK how to top that lol

Old fashion typewriter

We are attaching aged tags (dipped in coffee or tea) to skeleton keys that are also bottle openers. The tags will have the name and table number on one side and a stamped tandem bicycle in green on the other. My Wedding Stage Managaer (she chose the title) has a cricut machine, and it will write the name and table number on the front, cut the tag shape, and then I will stamp the back.

You do a few things- they make paper perforated so you can rip them into business size pieces- just google avery business cards. You could print on those first and then rip and fold. The perforations are usually pretty fine, but the edges won't be totally smooth. Or you could have them printed and cut- maybe with vista print, or maybe even with a fedex office (kinkos). You could try cutting them yourself, but I have never gotten paper to cut as straight as I would like. But I am in marketing an am picky like that.

Seriously, clear labels aren't the end of the world. If you can hire a calligrapher or get a friend with pretty hand writing to do it, go for it.

These are mine. I printed on the cardstock itself, cut them myself, and they came out fine.

I'm not sure what process you've come up with for the venue to figure out each person's meal choice, but I organized the place cards by color according to their preference. Ex: The sandy colored cards were for anyone who chose to have chicken, the blue was for beef eaters, and the white ones were for the vegetarians.

Good luck!

Buy business cards and use the template they provide to print onto the business cards. They should be perforated already

I am making my own. I printed them on white paper and am gluing them onto gray card stock that I cut into quarters. This was a test one so I think the final result will look better. I bought a $12 paper cutter from staples so everything comes out straight.

All these hand cut cards are like scratching a chalkboard on my brain... but again, I'm paid to be picky. Sorry- it's not voluntary.

Blondie, I feel the same way. I'm not truly crafty, so I don't think I could cut it straight enough no matter what.

We used a paper cutter to cut ours. Printed names and then I did embossing details in different colors so that they'd know who ordered what (red =meat, blue = fish, green = veg)

Use a Template for the Names and Table Numbers.

Print them out on a card stock versus office paper.

Take them to Staples/OfficeDepot. Have them laser cut them. (quick, straight, clean edges, & very cheap)
