Use your imagination to make cute name tags for your social group.
Although many people cringe at the sight of a name tag, sometimes they are necessary when introducing new people to a social group such as a "ladies night out" club. When you make the name tags part of the fun, they become less groan-worthy and more giggle-worthy. A little computer and digital photo knowledge will go a long way toward making standard peel-and-stick name tags or plastic name tag holders super cute for your next "ladies night out."
Photo-Edited Pin-Up Girls
When you use your photo-editing software and digital images of the ladies in your night-out group, you have the foundation for cute name tag art. Take a picture of the ladies' faces and then superimpose the faces over a traditional and nostalgic pin-up girl from the 1940s or 1950s. Glamorous without being considered "trashy," classic pin-up girls are colorful and sultry, just like the ladies in your group. Take the new combined images and print them out on the name tags. At first, the ladies might not realize that their faces are part of the sexy pin-up, but when they do, the laughs and giggles will ensue.
Soap Opera Names
Begin your night out with an exercise that will generate cute name tags for the rest of the evening. Ask each lady to take her middle name and the name of the street she grew up on. The combination of these words will equal her "soap opera" name. When you write the new aliases onto the name tags, you have the inspiration for an evening of over-the-top drama and character-acting by the group.
Glitz and Glamour
Adorn name tags for your "ladies night out" group with rhinestones, seed beads and crystals. When you decorate a plastic name tag holder with dots of superglue and shiny "bling," you make each lady feel especially glamorous and ready for an extravagant night out. Prepare the name tag sleeves ahead of time, or make the decorating of the holders part of the night out. Save the sleeves to use again when you have a special birthday or event for the ladies.
Animal in You
Think ahead and ask group members what kind of animal they think they are most like. Write down the names of your ladies and the corresponding animals and use this information to make cute name tags that are a little wild. Find hide or fur images of each of the animals mentioned and apply the patterns to the name tags using your home printer and a "watermark" or lightened setting for the image. Write each lady's name on the appropriate tag to complete the wild look. A more comical approach is to find cute pictures of the animals the ladies have picked and put those images on the name tags.
