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.

Gary, Here's what is going on the cards and I plan on printing them myself - probably about 25-30 copies on cardstock.

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

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

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

I like it too. Very distinctive. By the way, a quick look at some online card catelogs suggests 3.5-4.5 x 1.5-2.5" folded is common for wedding table cards.

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

The "Idea" of marrying the names is the most important thing. You are going to have a captive audience. It will be in their nature to look at the card. It doesn't have to be super legible.

I think it's very sophisticated and I wish I had thought of something similar for my wedding.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, play with the colors and values. I think you have the design solved.

That was going to be my view. They'll study it, and the pay off will be a good one.

Although I reckon you'll get some jokes on your opinions with what women do to a man in marriage. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
