It’s Time to Get Personal with Business Cards
Think business cards are for business use only? Think again! Here are some creative ways to use these multi-purpose cards for your personal life, too.
Table seating cards. Planning a dinner party? Let’s face it. It can be confusing and a bit awkward for guests to figure out who is sitting where. Help avoid all that by turning a business card into a table seating card. Amp up the fun by adding a fun fact or story about your guests to each table seating card and asking everyone to guess which one is theirs. This is a great way to get the party started.
Dating cards. Looking to spice up your love life? The next time you hear “Can I have your number,” don’t fumble around in your purse or pocket looking for a pen and paper. Hand out a dating card instead. Add your name, digits, and of course, your astrological sign. If you’re feeling daring, you can even add a photo of yourself looking your best. Don’t forget to include the URL to your Facebook or MySpace page on your dating card.
Mommy cards. Are you a busy mom who is always on the go? If you’re like most moms, you are constantly arranging carpools, playdates, karate classes, sleepovers, pizza parties – the list goes on and on. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have all of your contact info at your fingertips when coordinating all of these activities with other parents? Mommy cards are like business cards for moms. Pick a fun design, add your phone number, email, emergency information, kid’s allergies and more!
Favor cards. Want to leave a lasting impression at your wedding or shower? Your favors will do just that! They’re the last thing your guests see, so you want to make them memorable. An easy way to do so is to create business cards with the same color scheme as your wedding, add a photo and a sweet message. Then, punch a hole in the top of the card, weave a beautiful ribbon through, attach it to your favor and voilá!
With business cards, the possibilities are endless. Use them for dating, networking, parenting, weddings, parties and a whole lot more. Think outside the box when it comes to your business card and you’re sure to use them time and time again!
