Bookmarks Make Unique Thanksgiving Place Cards
November 2, 2008
You’ve planned your menu, done the shopping, picked out the perfect table centerpiece to decorate your beautiful table setting … there’s one more thing that will add the finishing touch to your Thanksgiving dinner plans, and that’s providing table place cards in the form of laminated bookmarks, which each guest can take home afterwards as a remembrance of your hospitality.
In the bookmark shown above, the front has been printed with the guest’s name, and this customer chose a traditional prayer to recite as a grace before the meal. Other ideas are scripture passages having to do with giving thanks or gratitude, quotes, or poems. Some terrific resources are listed below (click on the links to visit these sites):
- A collection of Grace Before Meals: Mealtime Prayers
- Bible Gateway: A searchable online bible in over 100 versions and 50 languages
- Quote Garden: Quotes, sayings, and verses organized by category. Suggested categories for Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving Quotes, Gratitude
If you don’t have time or don’t know how to make laminated bookmarks, visit the only resource where you can buy an individually personalized bookmark for each of your guests: Impressive Inscriptions Bookmark Boutique, where the minimum order is only 8 bookmarks of the same design, which you can personalize with a different name on each for just 10 cents more per bookmark. You can have any text printed on the front and back at no additional charge. You can also choose which side you want the name on, and which side you want the prayer or other text on. You choose your background color of white or cream, and choose from 31 beautiful tassel colors. For Thanksgiving designs, click on the following links:
- Thanksgiving Bookmarks: Category with 6 original Thanksgiving designs
- Autumn Leaves or Autumn Trees photo bookmark design: We suggest printing the prayer or scripture passage on the front, and the individual name on the back on these two designs.

Your guests will be delighted to take home their bookmark personalized just for them and will remember your wonderful Thanksgiving hospitality each time they use their bookmark at home.
Autumn bookmarks are a good idea for a variety of fall events
September 1, 2008
Here on the east coast, in our suburb of New York City, a hint of autumn has already arrived with brilliant blue skies and crisp, cool nights, which has me thinking about fall and how jam-packed with activity those busy autumn months can be. So here are some ideas for favors and keepsakes for all of those autumn events:
- Halloween Bookmarks: What better class party favor is there than a personalized bookmark for every child in the class. Kids love it when they see their name printed on something, and bookmarks promote reading! It’s the perfect choice, especially since many schools do not allow candy to be given to students at holiday parties. Halloween bookmarks are also great for party favors for adults too, with Halloween rivaling Christmas for one of the most popular adult holidays in the calendar year!
- Thanksgiving Bookmarks: Consider this — an individually-personalized Thanksgiving bookmark for every guest at your Thanksgiving table. Have their name printed on the front, and then have a Thanksgiving prayer or grace printed on the backside. Use the bookmarkers as place cards. Guests flip the bookmark over to say grace together, and then take home their bookmark at the end of the day as their Thanksgiving keepsake.
- Autumn Bookmark Designs: For fall weddings, family reunions, and fall festivals, bookmarks are the perfect choice for favors, keepsakes and handouts. Our most popular fall wedding favors are our Autumn Leaves Photo and Autumn Trees Photo bookmark designs. For fall festivals and family reunions, try our Autumn Leaves design.
- Other fall bookmark ideas: For Sports Banquets, school events such as book fairs, after-school book clubs and reading program kick-offs, and church festivals and bazaars, to name just a few ideas for customized bookmark uses.
Our laminated bookmarks are available in 3 sizes, with or without tassels (in over 30 colors), and can be printed with any text on both the front and back sides. So consider bookmarks, as our customers above did, for keepsakes, favors and give-aways for all your fall activities.
