Custom Playing Cards Make Wedding Favours Worth Keeping
There are many types of popular wedding favours, like matchboxes, candles, snacks, or many more. These are all consumables; once used, your big day’s souvenir is gone. Custom playing cards as wedding favours, on the other hand, are small and lightweight, so they are very portable. Playing cards travel with your guests, moving from home to home over the years, just like other lasting favourites such as wildflower seed packets.
Why custom playing cards are natural wedding favours
Aside from their inherent portability, playing cards are used by very many people, and according to a YouGov survey, around 80% of people enjoy playing card games. Card games also appeal equally to men and women, making them a favour nearly every guest will appreciate.
What Can You Actually Customize?
Your custom playing cards make great wedding favours because of the endless personalization available. You can customize the card backs and boxes, and, if you have artwork ready, the card faces, suits, and numbers too. Here, at the Playing Card Factory, we see many beautifully and tastefully designed wedding decks of cards every year.
Incorporating your wedding theme into your custom playing card wedding favours
You, of course, want to have consistency in theme across all aspects of your wedding. This means keeping the colour palette the same for your cards, having minimalistic designs for the boxes (if that is your theme), or having similar floral designs on the cards as those seen throughout the rest of your wedding.
Custom Playing Cards Wedding Favours: Novelty Deck or Quality Keepsake?
Here is where there is going to be a cost difference. Novelty cards are going to be made from cheaper card stock, thinner, flimsier, and not suited for a proper game of cards. The Playing Card Factory uses plastic coating on our premium, black-core card stock, meaning that our cards are entirely opaque and much more durable than your regular novelty deck of cards that won’t hold up past one or two game nights.
Ordering for Your Guest Count
The Playing Card Factory does not have a minimum order quantity, so you can order as few as one deck! This also means that you can be much more flexible with how you distribute these wedding favours, being one deck per person or one deck per couple, as you see fit.
Your wedding timeline
While smaller orders of cards, for example, 6 or fewer, will ship in 4 to 5 days, larger orders can take a couple of weeks to get through production. This means that you will want to order with ample time before you need these wedding favours. If you plan on ordering a test deck first, budget extra time before your wedding date.
Why Ordering Locally Matters
Because all Playing Card Factory production occurs within Ontario, Canada, there will be no surprise delays, duties, or tariffs on your orders, as long as your shipping address is also within Canada. We’re also a local business that answers the phone; call anytime to discuss designs, timelines, and how we can help make your day even more special.
