Tricks On Making Playing Cards Into Wedding Favors

By Dee Haskew


Wedding invitation cards are considered to be a vital part of any wedding. After all, they seem to mark the start of the planning. But you can put a twist to that and make things a lot more fun by turning playing cards into wedding favors. You can actually find more use for these playing cards than just as invitations or for adding some fun factor to the special day. The play card wedding favors can also be used as memoirs of the day, and the best part is they are actual favor items that family and friends can use in the future. The playing cards should contain the different elements of the wedding. The date of the wedding would be indicated, along with the names of the newlyweds and maybe a symbolic design or detail.

You could choose to print the cards or write them by hand. Whatever you choose, however, make sure that the materials used are durable. There are a number of these high quality print papers with designs that are appropriate for weddings in bookstores and school supplies stores. Playing card wedding favors would be perfect if you use these for printing. If they are handwritten, it would be more personal and you can pay more attention to detailing. You can even make use of fabrics and wood in making these playing cards, which will turn out to be a lot of fun.

The cards' color and print would next on the agenda. Here you can consider giving the cards a theme that slightly drifts away from, yet complimenting that of the wedding. But it would also be up to you if you want to stick to the wedding theme when deciding the colors for the cards. You can choose light hues or dark tones. Then you would also have to decide on the amount of print and the size of the cards. You will also have to consider the graphics to use for the prints. For light color themes, a dark print would be more preferred, just as light prints would go well with dark color themes.

You can also consider adding special graphic designs if you are looking to add more fun or make the guests feel more appreciated. You can as well add different favors in the cards and use the graphic designs to bring out what the favor is about. If you want to be more mysterious and content, use the prints and designs on the cards to make the recipient interpret the favor themselves.

The next step will be the figure out the kind of shape or shapes and size of the playing cards. People who are expected to attend the wedding are also given gift bags nowadays. Wedding planners put in small presents and invitation cards to these gift bags. You can take this chance to add some of the playing cards to the bags. But the best option would still be to put the playing card wedding favors on the tables and use them to designate the seating arrangements for the wedding guests.
