Step1

Print the name of each guest onto regular 8.5 x 1. Make sure to include a call to action on each place card. Possible call to actions include "Make a toast using the word slippery...keep it clean," "Flirting is encouraged" and "Tell us an embarrassing moment."

Step2

Cut cardstock, the paper with the printed names and the calls to action into 2.5-inch squares. Use mounting tape to adhere the three components together.

Step3

Make tent cards by cutting cardstock into 3.5-inch x 5.5-inch strips. Fold in half.

Step4

Mount the 2.5-inch square name and call to action cards onto one side of the tent card.

Step5

Accent the cards by gluing on a gem.
