📄 What’s on the Pages

Page 1: 8 place cards
Eight tent-fold cards with a lucky charm, name line, and stars, plus a tip to print on cardstock.

How to make your place cards

1
Print the page at actual size on cardstock – several times for more guests.
2
Cut out the cards along the crop marks.
3
Write a name on the line next to each lucky charm.
4
Fold along the dashed line in the middle and stand the card up like a little tent.

💡 Tips

  • Cardstock (65–110 lb) keeps the cards standing – thin paper tips over.
  • Score the fold line first with a ruler and the dull side of a butter knife for a clean crease.
  • Let each guest take their card home as a lucky charm.
  • With the coloring version, kids color a lucky charm for every guest.

What kids practice

Kids practice writing names – their own and their guests'. Setting the cards out means planning who sits where. Cutting and folding build fine motor skills, and they learn about classic lucky charms.
