How do you print wedding place cards?

Printing place cards at home is easy if you set up your document correctly. First, measure your card stock and set the page size in your software to match. Create a table or text boxes for each card, so you can type names and adjust fonts easily.

Choose a clear font that is easy to read, and make sure the text is centred. Print a test page on plain paper first to check alignment and spacing. Then load your card stock into the printer, making sure it is not too thick for your printer's paper path.

If your printer struggles with thick card, print onto a slightly thinner card or use a flat card and a holder. After printing, cut the cards to size with a paper trimmer or a craft knife and a ruler. For a professional finish, consider having them printed by a local print shop, but home printing works well for small numbers.
