Hello,
I have to create professional looking tent cards of names of people who will be sitting at a reserved table for our upcoming conference. Please share your ideas about how to make the name cards look professional. Thank you!

If you have room to put a tent card in front of each participant, use the Avery perforated tent cards and use publisher to create professional ones - print on a good quality color printer.
However, if you don't have room to put a long tent card like that in front of them (if your table space is narrow) or the tables are circular, you can buy inexpensive clear CD cases that hing all the back to create a "tent" and use a CD case template to create your labe.
Finally, if you just need to list who is at the table, you can buy an inexpensive 8x10 picture frame and insert your list of guests for that table.
Good luck - Pat Camp

Avery has a great product and template is easy to follow. I'd use a simple but large font. Something that's easily read from afar. Also, I typically add our company's logo. Simple, crisp and clean. Good luck!

Have you tried AVERY tent cards. They come 1 or 2 per page depending on the size that you need. You can add logos to them also.

In the past I have typed the first/last name of the attendees, with their company's name below the name and if I can get a copy of their company's logo, I would add that to the upper left hand corner of the card.

Hi, Irene,
I use MS Publisher and create a multi-page document at letter size. I create a text box and use a medium-to-large readable font (don't use fancy fonts that can't be read from across the room) and place the text box in the middle-bottom of the page. After adding the person's name and title/organization, I copy the text box and paste it on the same page. Use the "Arrange" menu to flip the box upside down and place it in the middle top of the page. So you should have one right-side up text box at the bottom and one upside-down box at the top.
Create a copy of the page and place it after the one you just made. Click inside the text boxes to change the text to the next name.
Print them out on card stock (I use my company color). If your organization style allows it, try using a border on the text boxes to make them fancier.
Be sure to save the document. It's easy to add new pages for new attendees; you can print just the ones you need. Then if you want to use holiday-themed paper for a holiday meeting (etc.) you can print new ones any time. You can also use Word or another word processing software set on Landscape orientation.
