SHOWER: DIY Bingo Cards

I need some ideas on how to start them.

Can you show me some DIY Bridal Shower Bingo Cards?

Thanks,

edited to ask 2nd question (which I also posted below):

How would I go about making them WITHOUT duplicating a card? I think I have to make about 55-60.

Any ideas?

edited to ask:

Should they be given out as sheets of paper with empty boxes. While we were waiting for the bride, they filled in the boxes with what we thought she would open/get?

--or--

Should they be already filled in? I was going to fill them with items from her registry.

For my sister's shower I pre filled them out. The way I did it was to put the list in excel, enlarge the font, cut them out and then picked them out for each board I was making. Those same cut outs were the ones she pulled out from a bucket.

It was easier this way for us because you never truly know what you are going to get if you have the guests fill them in with what they think the presents are. Plus we had to make it bilingual.

As the center (free space) I used a picture of the couple.

If you want I can send you a copy of what it looked like.

what i did was go to the registry's website and save the item's picture. Then on excel, i made boxes and shrunk the picture into the boxes and put the name on the bottom like iron, etc. It gives them a nice visual!

That's a cute way to do it, I never thought of that!

I did mine on powerpoint. I had the guests fill in what they thought she might get as presents and the middle was a free space. You can personalize the whole document! Let me know if you want me to email it to you!!!
