Those using luggage tags for guest name tags?

Hi vikster,

Im doing this and think (I say think because i havn't researched yet!) Im going to buy stamps or transferable letters but don't know how costly and timely this will be with 65 people to the sit down!

Any other suggestions ladies?

*light bulb* moment! yes i hadnt thought of that, thanks so much im off to research.

Orginally found some on Etsy but didnt really want to spend that much

I am not using labels, but if I were, I'd be looking to use a label printer and get sticky labels to co-ordinate with the tag colour or with your general theme.

Something like this:

Can you buy luggage tags in A4 sheets that you then pop the tags out of? If you know what I mean?

Or you could print onto another colour card from a normal printer, cut them up and stick them on:

I am using lower case typewriter stamps, it's gonna take me forever to do upto 160 tags but it's the look I want.

It will look like the bottom font -

I'm using stamps, I bought some that clipped together to make it easier to get it straight, had to buy two sets as I needed more letters with them clipping together. This didn't occur to me until I bought the first lot though! ?

I bought them from ebay about £4 per set and they're really good

I'm thinking of luggage tags too, haven't got far enough to think about how I'm writing the naesm - think maybe get someone with nice cursive to do it?

But I found the tags on notonthehighstreet.com x

Could you give me the link to the stampers you're using, I've tried googling, but with no luck!

Thanks so much!

I'm thinking about this, and I think if you are going to do it. It HAS to be the proper old fashioned grey. hairy luggage tags. And you HAVE to handwrite them.

Personally I don't think they'd look good printed at all.

A friend of mine does tags like this - she's just set up her own business - she may have something you are looking for or may tell you where to get it..

? smacked wrists Mini! After a little play on the comp i think i will be making my own, i have some card that matches my invites/table plan etc and a nice font so i think i may have just solved my problem. But brilliant ideas from all, thanks.

Hi Vickster, deffo have a go! Print your guests names on to a good quality paper using a grid template on word or similar so you can cut to the same size, then mount them onto your card, punch a hole and add a tie ?

Good luck!
