Tricks On Making Playing Cards Into Wedding Favors

By Angele Brahler


Wedding planning would almost always involve the creation of wedding invitations and wedding cards. 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 use them for a lot of things, not just for wedding invitations or to add an element of fun and a dash of color to the wedding. 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 cards should capture various elements in the wedding. They can have the names of the bride and groom, some decorative detailing that they both love, and the date of the wedding.

You should choose durable materials, whether you decide to print the cards or write them by hand. There are a number of these high quality print papers with designs that are appropriate for weddings in bookstores and school supplies stores. These are ideal if you plane to make printed playing card wedding favors. Handwritten cards have the advantage of providing more detailing and making the favors more personal. Making this card is fun and you can use different kinds of materials, from wood to fabrics to make the cards.

Next, you have to consider the color and the print that will be used. Choose a theme that you would stick to. Maybe it could even be a theme that drifts away from the wedding. However, it should still be complementary. When it comes to the colors for the cards, you have the option of sticking to the wedding theme. Light or dark colors would do beautifully. Then you would also have to decide on the amount of print and the size of the cards. Even the graphics that will be printed on the cards would also have to be noted. Dark prints are ideal for light color theme, and light prints for the dark theme.

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. You could also go the cryptic way and use the prints, photos, and graphic designs to make the person or card holder think about what it means.

The next step will be the figure out the kind of shape or shapes and size of the playing cards. Invitation cards are also now included in gift bags that are given by wedding planners to those who are invited to the wedding. You can take this chance to add some of the playing cards to the bags. Still, it would be best if you simply place the playing card wedding favors on the tables. If there are settings and seating arrangements fixed prior, the attendants could simple take their cues from them as they usher in the guests.
