    Hi Ladies ( & possible gents :) )

    I am a DIY bride to be trying to find a rectangular template that i could use for our thank you/favor tags. If anyone knows where i could possibly download one please PLEASE share the website..

     

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hmm could you get a little more specific in what your looking for? Do you just want some sort of rectangular design that says "thank you" you can print out or?

    You can always go into Microsoft Word and use the business card template. You can make the size smaller/bigger and add your own designs and text.

    If you don't find anything you like in Word, you can give this website a try:

    http://www.i-do-it-yourself.com/

    They have all sorts of tags and labels you can download and personalize. It just might take some time looking through the posts to find what you like. Good luck!

    I've seen paper punches that make cute little tag shapes.  Are you planning on printing the monogram?  Stamping them?  If you're printing, you could use the business card layout for correct spacing and use the punch to punch them out of cardstock.

    They do have square paper punches that would work once you print them. Try looking at Fiskars, I got my 2" circle punch for my tags and it worked perfectly.

    I am using my Cricut to create the tags for my favor bags.  It is super simple and you can create a tag at whatever size you would like.

    I used the Avery business cards for many wedding projects. They have an easy template to use, they are a good size, and you could easily punch holes in them to then attach them to things with ribbon, etc.  Plus, one pack of the business cards has 20 sheets (each sheet has 10 cards), so getting 200 cards for 16 bucks is a deal!  And, they don't leave perforated edges either! I love them!

    Or you could pick up paper punches at a craft store and design a shape in Word to go with them?  That's how I made cute little favor tags for the Philly area Bee Meet Up a few months ago!

    I used a business card template - it worked perfectly!   You could dress it up by using a corner punch

    My MSWord is currently on the fritz so I did everything in PowerPoint. I wanted rectangles smaller than business cards and I bought a flower shaped paper punch to use to tie the ribbons through. I attached the file if you want to use it.

    Word has "label" templates you can use. Or you can always create a table of various colums and row to get the dimensions that you want. =)

    I second (third, forth,??) the business card advice. I always keep a pack of Avery business cards laying around my house for when I need to make a last minute tag. They always seem to be the perfect size and you don't have to worry about lining up your punch. I try to avoid that as much as possible since I'm so OCD and totally get upset if it's the slightest bit off center. I like to round the courners and a a decorative brad or sticky rhinestone. Good luck!
