Last weekend we had a joint birthday party for the babies in my mom’s group. I volunteered to do favors because the magnets I did the year before were such a hit.
This year, the favor was Mom’s Group Trading Cards.
What you need:
- Current pictures & stats: Ask the moms in your group to email you a photo of their child and a few trivia facts.
- The trading cards: Purchase business cards that go in an ink jet printer. Avery makes a product that creates eight cards per sheet.
How to make them:
- Use the word template that goes with your printable business cards. It says the number on the package.
- Input text and images into each card space. I put the child’s name in larger type and then the birthday and factoids in smaller type.
- Feel free to use my template to get started. We had 11 children, so I had to use two sheets.
- Now, print a full set for each family at your party.
- Then shuffle all the cards so they are not in order.
At the party:
Pass out the same number of cards as a complete set. Some people will get doubles or triples of one baby and none of another baby. Tell the guests to begin trading.
We had parents walking around saying “I have two Theos. I need an Ava. Who has an Ava?” Totally awesome.
