What paper should you use for place cards?

What is the best paper weight for greeting cards?

The weight range for greeting card printing is between 250 to 400 gsm paper. Usually, 350 gsm card stock is considered the best paper weight for printing greeting cards. This guide to choosing the correct greeting card paper explains why there are different types and weights.

Can cardstock go through a printer?

Generally, home printers are able to handle 80-pound or 10-point cardstock – any thicker, and the paper may jam. (Think of business cards, which are often printed on slightly shiny cardstock.) Coated cardstock is harder on which to print because the ink doesn’t absorb into the paper the way it does with uncoated stock.

How do you make a wine cork into a place card holder?

Instructions:

With your X-Acto knife, slice 0.25in.

Place your cork upright, and with your scoring knife, slice a groove down the middle of your cork where the place card will sit.

Do you put titles on place cards?

Yes, you should include guests’ full names on wedding place cards and wedding seating cards. For formal weddings, you can include optional titles, such as Mr., Mrs., or Miss. For semi-formal or casual weddings, a simple first and last name for every guest is appropriate.
