These place cards with quotes and sayings about family were a hit at our family Mother’s Day party which is why I wanted to share them with you. They would be perfect for any family gathering throughout the year.
I wanted to make our Mother’s Day celebration a focus on family…the importance of family, and the bonds that connect us. We did a big family style table and I created individual place cards with quotes and sayings about family to include.
I created the place cards using a website called PicMonkey.com, which is a free design site. It’s awesome. I use it all the time for photo editing and my blog graphics. Here’s the how-to on how to make your place cards:
Go to PicMonkey.com, then:
1. Click *t design icon at top, then select 8 x 10 and you should be brought to a blank white page 8 x 10 in size.
2. On the left column, click RESIZE, then uncheck “keep proportions” and change 3000 in second box to 3300, this will make your page roughly 8 x 11, or a letter size page you can run through your printer.
3. Click “Tt” icon on left, and add your text. You can design 4 place cards to a page. Fonts I used are “De Walpergen Pica” and “CoffeeBreak” which is the scripty one and I am obsessed with it. That’s a Premium font for PicMonkey Royale members, but you can sign up for a free 30 trial and get it. If you want to continue using PicMonkey like I do, the $33 per year for all the Premium design perks is SO worth it!
4. When you are done designing, click “Save” and save as a JPG, always using “Sean” for the best quality. Then you can open it from your computer and print like a normal letter, but on a white card stock.
Your finished design should look something like this:
5. Then you cut the squares out, and can decorate if you would like. I cut little scrapbook design pages into strips to give them color, and added them either between the name and the quote, or at the bottom of the place card. I then rolled utensils in napkins, and adhered the place card to the utensil with a double stick tape tab.
And without further ado, here are the quotes and sayings about family I was able to pull off the internet after spending a gazillion hours on Pinterest searching things like quotes and sayings about family, quotes about family, quotes about mothers, cute quotes for kids, bible verses about family, etc.
