On the outside, name cards are just simple pieces of paper that help provide order during a wedding reception. They provide weddings guests with the opportunity to reserve their seats or in the case of assigned seating know exactly where to sit.
Even though name cards just contain an individual's name and are fairly small, it doesn't mean you should not think of them as part of your wedding decorations. Name cards, with a little imagination and the help of some wedding accessories found at Wholesale Wedding Superstore, can be transformed into beautiful decorative pieces.
Here is a look at some ways other brides-to-be have transformed traditional name cards into beautiful wedding decorations.
Small Personalized Photos
This suggestion is great for smaller, intimate wedding receptions where the bride and groom know almost every individual on a personal basis. Instead of having just a regular white rectangular name card with just a name, consider putting personalized photos on the card.
These personalized photos can be either of a moment that is shared with the bride/groom and the guest, or it can just be of the two individuals who are getting married. The photo is taken and carefully placed either directly on the name card or in the corner.
The best part is you don't have to spend a fortune on these photos. You can print out small, personalized photos straight from your computer and use those, or consider ordering them in bulk from an online retailer. It is a cost effective, yet fun way to personalize your name cards.
Make the Name Cards Sparkle and Shine
Thinking of going a glitzier, more glamourous route with your name cards? Consider adding a rhinestone embellishment to the cards. It will make the name cards sparkle and shine, which is perfect for a wedding where the bride and groom want everything to be attention grabbing.
Wholesale Wedding Superstore has a wide variety of rhinestone craft embellishments that are ideal for this quick craft project. There are embellishments in all shapes, sizes, and colours. Add tiny little star clusters, heart shapes, or even just traditional flowers to the name card to add a little extra dazzle to the wedding reception.
For a uniformed look, glue all the same embellishments onto the name card. If you wish to go a customized route, you can mix and match styles for a fun, festive look.
Working with rhinestone embellishments as part of the wedding decorations is fairly easy. Just print out or create the name cards as you normally would. Once those are created, you can hot glue the embellishments onto the name cards. It will take a few minutes to dry, but overall the project isn't complicated.
Decorating name cards for a wedding reception may seem like a lot of work for such a small item, but it really will add a nice touch to the festivities, not to mention make a great take home gift for guests.
