Direction Card Paper

What kind of paper are you using to print your direction cards? I want to use something other than white printer paper, so I plan to buy nice heavy weight paper.

What are you using?

Re: Direction Card Paper

we are not getting married at a hall.

is the paper preforated? i guess i could use a paper cutter to ensure a straight cut.

Re: Direction Card Paper

I am using the blank response cards from Staples. They came out very nice and the paper is very heavy.

Re: Direction Card Paper

I bought a square tri-fold so it didn't separate. On the front I wrote 'Directions' then it opened and had the Church and Hall and on the back there was the hotel info. Once I made one I brought it to MinuteMan Press and they copied it for me. 175 for $30 bucks! Well worth it!!
