Tricks On Making Playing Cards Into Wedding Favors

By Alphistan Zoka


Wedding planning would almost always involve the creation of wedding invitations and wedding cards. But playing card wedding favors would definitely make things even more fun and interesting during the day of the wedding itself. You can actually find more use for these playing cards than just as invitations or for adding some fun factor to the special day. You can actually use these playing cards as a token for that memorable day. Even better, they can also be used as playing cards for card games in the future by those who receive them. It is important for the playing cards to reflect a lot (or even a bit) of the wedding. You could put in a decorative detail on the card, in addition to the newlyweds' names and the date of the wedding.

You have the option of choosing printed or handwritten cards. In both cases, the materials used should be of quality and durable. Bookstores sell these quality papers and you can find some with subtle graphic designs that would be suitable for a wedding design. You can make use of them to print on if you plan on making playing cards for wedding favors. If you choose to write the cards by hand, you can add more detailing and have a more intimate feel for it. 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 next step will be the color and print for the cards. You do not have to go for a strictly wedding theme, but make sure you choose one that would complement it. When choosing the colors, however, you can stick 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. The same is true if you decide to print some graphics on the cards. If the themes are light in color, you should use dark color in the prints. If the theme is dark colored, use light color in the printing.

If you love fun and making people feel appreciated in different ways, you can add special graphic designs in the cards. Graphich designs could also bring out more of the favors that you want added in the cards. 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. Nowadays, wedding planners include gift bags for guests to the wedding. These gift bags would contain small items and invitation cards. You can actually put in playing cards that would fit into these gift 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.
