Printed Business Cards

The bride to be is a busy woman with a thousand things to do, a hundred people to talk to, venues to look at, food to taste, cakes to sample, invites to print, favors to make, dresses to select, shoes to dye, rooms to trim and happiness to make. Yes a bride is a networking fool. It only makes sense for the bride to be to get herself a set of business cards.

A bride’s business card should match the colors of the wedding.  Besides being a cute reminder of your big day, you can use the business card as both contact information and an example of your needs. Showing the card to florists and caterers can help them determine the colors of your cake and flowers. Consider foil accenting for the wedding that will sparkle.

If your wedding has a theme find a way to illustrate that on your bride’s calling card. Whether its hearts, the garden, the beach or butterflies, there are a number of clip art sites on the Internet where you can download an image for free. Most of the bigger printing retailers have their own collection of images for you to browse through. Again, this helps with describing themes to vendors.

The background color of the bride to be’s business card looks nice in ivory, cream or white. Choose a heavy smooth cardstock to convey the idea of the luxury of a wedding gown and the silk of wedding cake icing. Take your time with the details as receivers of this card will be trying to gauge an idea of both your wedding and your personality.

Fonts for a bride’s calling card should be easy to read. Vendors, including printers and favor makers, will use the business card as a reference for spelling so it must be clear. Be sure to include the groom’s name, the date of the wedding and its location on your bride to be business card.
