Too small

Nov 25, 2025 | Michael S. |

Verified Buyer

These place cards were far too small. Pretty much the size of a business card. I’m not sure why this size is considered standard. Even with the design suggested it leaves you with a very small space to write name. So small that guests looking for their seats would have to pick up each card to read it.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thanks for your review submission. We’re sorry to hear that the place cards were smaller than expected and didn’t meet your needs. To avoid cards feeling too small in the future, we recommend considering our 4.2' x 5.5" postcard option here https://www.vistaprint.ca/marketing-materials/standard-postcard. This size would allow for adequate spacing to write names. Increasing the font size, reducing decorative elements, or choosing a design with more open space can also make the cards easier for guests to read from a distance. We have emailed you information that details the resolution that has been provided to you. If you have any additional product or design-related queries, don't hesitate to share them with us. We're here to help.

Very good

Edges were freyed & rough (looks as if they were tore apart and not cut). Numerous spots of discolouration on my invites. Quality wasn’t there for something I paid $550 for.
