Can’t write on them

Feb 15, 2026 | TAYLOR B. |

Verified Buyer

The ink smudges and does not dry. Even with the matte option.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Wedding Place Cards. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with writing on them, even with the matte option. Our place cards are designed to be written on, and while glossy stock requires a permanent marker, the matte stock should allow for smoother writing. To help us look into this further, we kindly ask that you provide clear photos showing the smudging or drying issue. This will allow us to escalate the matter to our quality team for closer review and resolution. If your request is urgent or you’d prefer to speak directly with a representative, our Customer Support team is available at 833‑996‑2067. You can also visit our Help Center for real‑time support: https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/. We truly value your input and will ensure it is shared with the relevant team to support ongoing improvements. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

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
