Creating customized place cards can be time consuming to make by hand and costly to purchase from printing stores and professional calligraphers. Luckily, there is a simple way to create place cards for any event by using your personal computer and Microsoft Word. Word comes pre-loaded with templates that allow you to create professional documents, such as resumes or memos. They also allow you to create wedding invitations or place cards for many kinds of events.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Word and click on the "File" drop down menu and then click on "New." A dialog box will pop-up to the right of your screen. Find the section labeled "Templates."
