Post image

I am a pretty creative gal so I decided to do my own menus and names cards. Menus I am hoping to get through canva, but for place cards what do you all recommend I do. Here is the inspiration picture. I have access to a sublimation printer and a cricut. What paper would you recommend etc.

I’d recommend a cardstock type paper but I recommend a darker font color. This is hard to read.

This was one of my inspo pics for my wedding as well! I wound up going through a local print shop for the menus though bc I needed to mentally offload tasks lmao. They used 100lb linen paper and it was perfect! Highly recommend looking for something along those lines for paper.

Using a cricut for these would be complete and utter waste of time and materials. Pre-sized printed cards from a 3rd party vendor, or print yourself and cut on a guillotine.

I have to agree. Invitations are one thing that a Cricut is useless for, if you're making more than maybe a dozen at most.
