Name Place Cards

Miss-KEM, 26 January, 2016 at 09:39 Posted on Planning 0 6

Morning all

Ok so I am not the most creative of people but have decided to make my own name place cards.

I have been pricing everything up as just looking to do something quite simple but the only thing I am unsure about is how to print the names onto the actual card.

The cards I have been looking at are already cut to size and not sure of the best way to work out the size on microsoft word.

Does anyone have any tips or different software ideas I could use?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

    Is it possible to get a 'page' of cards which you then seperate after it goes through the printer? I'm thinking that small pre-cut cards might get stuck when going through the rollers inside the printer?

    I think they best programme to use is Microsoft Publisher - this is what I used to use when I worked at a hotel but can't remember for the life of me how I used to do it! Try having a play around on settings and page layout

    Hey,

    Im going to buy a Letter stamp and ink pad from Ebay to stamp the names onto the cards individually..

    Will take a bit of time but I think they will look good Smiley smile x

    I have found that the place card size you can buy is too small. Instead to get round this I have bought a6 card which my printer accepts, I've set the size on word to a6 and printed the cards, then used a guillotine and cut a inch off the bottom of the place cards once folded.

    If they are already too small to print through your printer then you probably wont be able to print the names on, so you could either stamp them or write them on. Good luck!

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I've only just started looking so open to ideas.

    I want them to be the disney fonr and cant find a stamp that i could use and don't think i could do it free hand.

    Will keep looking though

    Hi,

    Could you not just print the names on to nice A4 card or paper, cut yo size and stick it on the readymade place card and jazz it up a bit?

    This is the only pic I can find to try and describe what I mean x
