I was delighted to find these tent cards to use as place cards and have only one negative regarding them. Since they are a relatively new product, my MS Digital Image Pro 10 software doesn''t include the template. I downloaded the template from Avery but find it is only for MS Word. It did print the cards correctly from Word, but I had to create them in my Digital Image Pro software and copy them over to Word since I didn''t have as many options for customizing the cards in the Word software.

In the past, I''ve used business cards as place cards and have the templates to print them in the DI Pro software, but it''s so much nicer to have the tent style cards for the table, I was happy to switch. I like to put a picture on the cards and a greeting as well as the person''s name. The picture might be one I''ve taken or from ClipArt and provides a nice background to enhance the party''s theme. For Thanksgiving dinner, I chose a ClipArt scene of colorful gourds as my background, then added a ''Happy Thanksgiving'' banner in outlined shaped text in coordinating colors and then the person''s name below. I find the DI Pro software gives me many more options and is easier to use for these activities, so although I could copy the created place card and paste it into the Word template that was a step that slowed the process. The other part of the process that annoyed me in the Word template was not being able to see the outline of the card in the template document. In DI Pro, I can see that outline and can enlarge the picture to fully cover the card surface if needed. In this case, I ended up with white space around two sides of the card.

For business meetings where the cards will be more formal and Word software options are satisfactory, the template is great, but for dinner parties I want more flexibility than Word can provide. Because of how the cards are placed on the sheet, none of the other older templates can be used.

The cards do release from the sheet perfectly with smooth edges and make a very nice table accent, so I''m pleased with them, but do wish I had more options for software creation.

I''ve used these tent cards to create escort cards for my wedding. It worked out perfectly. The cards might be a bit thinner than the once you can get custom made from bridal salons / printers. However don''t let that discourage you from trying these out. Once you put your own creativity into these they are going to be totally worth it. I''ve used Avery website to create my own custom design, which worked really well for me.

Edit: I just posted a picture of the end result from my wedding. Just click on "View and share related images" link right below the picture of the listing.
