Wedding Card Table Tents

[joroho]

As mentioned in the gallery forum, I'm creating card tents to put on the tables at my sister-in-law's wedding reception. Anybody know if there's a standard size or rule with these things?

Probably not.

And what is going on the cards?

Are you going to print them yourself or have printing company do it?

If the latter, ask them for a size.

If you are printing them yourself then I would think the size is up to you.

I like it...it symbolises the union of two people.

Actually, Availor, it says Joshua and Sara, not Clara.

As for legibility, I can live with it. It's not something I intend to post on a billboard to be read by people driving by at 60mph. If anything, it'll cause people to take a second look and study it further, thereby increasing the effect once they can make out the names (at least I hope it works that way).

At my opinion, it tricks the eye.... itS too complex and hard to read, although the idea is nice.

The easiest is letter size, portrait folded in quarters... The top and bottom quaters form the base of the placecard.

i saw sara.
i think it's great! very impressive - did you have to snip one of the names to pieces to get "under" and "over" bits?

perhaps the grey could be a little darker?

Wow, how'd you do it? http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

It is the over and under trick.

See Christine Farrelley's Celtic Knot Guest Tutorial in the Xara Xone to see how this is done.

I like it Joel. You have a talent for these things.

I like the way the two names have been "married" together.
