How to Make Advice and Well-Wishes Cards

Advice cards are the quiet hit of a shower or a send-off: every guest leaves a note the guest of honor keeps. The only thing that trips people up is a blank card with no direction. Here is how to make cards guests actually fill in.

Give guests one clear prompt

A blank card gets a blank stare. A prompt gets a full card. Decide the one thing you want guests to write, and say it on the table sign or out loud when you set the cards out.

  • Advice for the new parents
  • A wish for the couple
  • A favorite memory of the retiree or the grad

What prints on each card

Festafetti prints each card headed Words For the guest of honor's name, with ruled lines to write on and a From line at the bottom to sign. Cards print four to a US Letter sheet with cut guides, so a whole stack takes only a few sheets. Put them out with pens where guests will see them.

Collect them into a keepsake

Gather the cards near the end, while people are still there to fill in the ones they missed. Bind them with a ring or drop them in an envelope, and the guest of honor goes home with a stack of notes in everyone's own handwriting.

The short version

Set one clear prompt so guests know what to write, let Festafetti print titled cards with ruled lines four to a sheet, and collect them at the end. The guest of honor keeps a stack of handwritten notes from everyone who came.

Common questions

What do guests write on advice cards?

Whatever fits the party: advice for the new parents, a wish for the couple, a memory of the retiree. Festafetti prints the cards; you set the tone with a one-line prompt on the table so guests are not staring at a blank card.

How many advice cards print per page?

Four to a US Letter sheet, each headed for the guest of honor with ruled lines and a spot to sign. Print as many sheets as you have guests, then cut them apart on the guides.
