Attractive Playing Cards As Wedding Favors

By Alphistan Zoka


In the planning of a wedding, it is common to see wedding invitation cards being made and distributed to those who are invited. To make things more fun and interesting on the special day, however, you can turn playing cards into wedding favors. In fact, they won't be limited for use as wedding invitations. They aren't only purposefully meant to be to make it more fun, either. 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. The date of the wedding would be indicated, along with the names of the newlyweds and maybe a symbolic design or detail.

You should choose durable materials, whether you decide to print the cards or write them by hand. You can get quality paper from a book store, which should have a good imprint and can be with some graphic designs thought not so shouting ones. 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. Here you can consider giving the cards a theme that slightly drifts away from, yet complimenting that of the wedding. When choosing the colors, however, you can stick to the wedding theme. Light or dark colors would do beautifully. The next thing will be to decide on the size and amount of print that will do into 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. The cards could also be added with favors and you can do that by simply adding graphic designs. 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.

Next, there is the size and the shape of the playing cards that will be made. 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. These gift bags could also have playing cards that fit into them. 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.
