Turn Playing Cards Into Attractive Wedding Favors

By Alphistan Zoka


Wedding invitations cards are a common element in the planning of a wedding. But you can put a twist to that and make things a lot more fun by turning playing cards into wedding favors. These will not only be items that you can use as invitation tools to the wedding, or items that will add an element of fun on that day. If these playing cards are given to the wedding guests as a token to remember the day by, they would also have the added advantage of being able to use them as - you guessed it - playing cards for card games. The playing cards should contain the different elements of 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 have the option of choosing printed or handwritten cards. In both cases, the materials used should be of quality and durable. There are a number of these high quality print papers with designs that are appropriate for weddings in bookstores and school supplies stores. They would make for perfect playing card wedding favors. Handwritten cards have the advantage of providing more detailing and making the favors more personal. You can have a lot of fun using the various materials that can be turned into playing cards, including fabrics and wood.

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. The hues can be dark or light. Now, look into the size of the cards and the size of the print that will be made. 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. Other favors could be added on the cards, and you can improve on them by adding graphic designs. You can also use this in a fun and cryptic way, such that the card holder will use the print content, the graphic design or pictures to know the wedding favor in the card.

The next step will be the figure out the kind of shape or shapes and size of the playing cards. 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 let the attendants pick up strategically places playing card wedding favors on the tables at the wedding and use them to indicate the guests' seating arrangement.
