How to make a tent card for a party when you do not want the guests to remove the centerpieces. You might have to return parts of the centerpiece (i.e. flower vase) or are contributing the items (food) to a shelter, etc.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 5" x 8" index stock, color to match party decor
  • Computer, printer, word processing software

Step1
Food Centerpiece Basket for Bar/Bat Mitzvah Develop the wording for your cards...for instance

"Feel free to take the flowers, but we appreciate you leaving the vases. Wrapping paper is available (fill in)."

"These items are being donated to the local food bank."

"Thank you for leaving the centerpieces intact. The books are being donated to a local school."
Step2
Hand made dresses for Bat Mitzvah party Or, in my case, I made crotched dresses for a doll we later gave to a children's hospital. The girls were delighted!
Step3
On your word processing program, layout your format for half of the card size on your word processing program. Either you need a program that allows printing upside down, or you have to feed the cards through the printer twice, turning the card 180 degrees and to print the second time.
Step4
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Gift Basket Centerpiece with Tent Card Shown Then gently fold in the middle! Place one or two next to each party centerpiece.
