Re: This may sound like a dumb question...

You can make them yourself (what I did) or the party stores sell the really basic ones.

How did you make your own?

Your RH might provide the tent placecards....or you can make them on your own.

LeslieMike use business card stock to make hers, which is a great idea.

Re: This may sound like a dumb question...

You can just buy cardstock and a paper cutter and print them yourself - you can use a label template that is the size you want, and then just cut them to size ... cheapest way I know!

Jen if you want I can email you my template, I started on this to get an idea of what I wanted.

we got ours at staples, and i printed on them w/ my laser printer at work. our RH supplied them also, but you had to hand write those in, and both DH and i have absolutely awful handwriting.

I set up a template in MS Word and I put our monogram in the upper left hand corner. I bought really nice paper from Kate's Paperie and printed them out at work once everyone had left for the day Then I cut them myself using a paper cutter I borrowed from my BM. Then I had my guests names written on them by a calligrapher.
