The place card conundrum 2 y'all!!!!!

Valerie, on January 9, 2017 at 09:29 Posted in DIY 0 26

Hey lovely ladies!

I once again need your collective wisdom to help me make menial and yet ridiculously important decisions!!!!!

I have been diligently making a TON of flowers for my place cards (I think I'm up to about 40+ of 90), and they are turning out great!

BUT now I'm thinking about the actual card to put with them and I'm stuck... I can put either font onto either card of course, so let me know what card shape and font you like best.

I think the purple "Nancy" font will be easier to read at a glance, I just love how different the blue "Jeff" font is. And I love the shape of the blue "Jeff" card, but I'm not sure if the simple cut of the purple "Nancy" card will be better...

Help me decide oh wise brides!!!!!

    I appreciate the honesty. I was going to have a bunch of different kinds of flowers.

    Do you like the outline on the card?

    I like the cut of the Jeff card. The other one is maybe to similar to the shape of the flowers. Both fonts are beautiful!

    If I can be honest, I like the shape of the card in this pic! But I like the flowers in the first pics you posted better.

    Thanks Em! Possibly... I think I would make myself crazy making sure they alternated if I did both so I wouldn't be able to make them until I decide the seating and I was hoping to make them earlier

    Valarie! They! Look! Great! I like the shape of the place card on the pink flower! And I like the gold, and the font. It's easier to read! I don't think the font has to be all matchy matchy. The font on the other card might be hard to read for some.

    FH likes the font ans style of the Nancy card, but I like the others better. Though I do agree on the Nancy font, I do think it will be easier to read and the better choice.

    I think the card looking like a flower is why I like the other one more... more of a contrast. But I obviously like them both (I mean I made themSmiley laugh ), so I'm very conflicted!!!!

    I do like the Nancy font because it's pretty but still easy to read. I do agree though that the Jeff font looks like it would go well with your theme but might be a little difficult to read at times. What does FH think?

    I also prefer the card style of the Nancy card because the edges look similar to leaves or flower petals so I think it goes well. But the other one is nice too! Such tough choices!

    They both look great, I'm voting for Nancy because it is easier to read.

    It's only an UO on here! HAHA, almost everyone else I asked agrees with you. I can make the "Jeff" card taller... do you think that would help? Also it may look like it's sitting higher because of the flower... maybe I'll take another pic with them sitting in the same type of flower, for a more even comparison

    Thanks! Both cards are the exact same amount of work for me (almost nothing), so that's not really a factor. Thanks for the input

    Oh I'll be changing the colour! When I do tests I like to use random paper colours so I don't waste the paper I actually need. I'll be printing them on white with purple or blue shimmer ink (haven't decided on the colour yet). Our guest list only has about 3 older guests (since most of our grandparents have passed away on both sides), so I'm not TOO worried about that.

    UO: I like the Nancy font best, and the Nancy shape better. I think the Font looks alittle pretty/formal, and the card shape makes it look higher or something and easier to spot? I dunno, but thats my vote!

    I love the Jeff it's a beautiful font but if older people are at your wedding you'll want them to be able to read the names. Some may some may not. The Jeff card is stunning and if it's light enough the gold should shimmer nicely.

    I think based off of other projects you are doing, your wedding will be very fun and I think that the "Jeff" card and font would fit in perfectly! Plus I also have noticed you love DIY projects and you like a challenge and so I would say go for the "jeff" ones! But whichever one you decide they will both look great!
