Printing Your Christmas Conversation Cards

To make the most of your Christmas conversation starters, printing and adding them to your table setup can be a fun and creative task! For the best results, print your conversation starters on high-quality cardstock to make them sturdy. Once printed, cut each card to size using a paper trimmer or scissors for clean edges. For an added touch, consider rounding the corners with a corner punch or adding a touch of glitter or ribbon.

Our Christmas conversation cards should go with most Christmas table decor.

Once printed, cut out each card neatly and decide how you’d like to display them.

• You can scatter them casually on the table for guests to pick up and read, or place them in a decorative bowl or jar in the center of the table.
• For a more personalized touch, tie a few cards together with a ribbon and place them at each guest’s seat as a conversation starter set.
• You could also tuck one card under each guest’s plate or napkin as a surprise for them to discover during the meal.

No matter which method you choose, these simple touches will encourage everyone to engage and create lasting memories.
