Nice cards, but template won't allow customized font and image with mail merge
on November 25, 2025

Table tents work well for handwritten cards or a basic mail merge, but they become extremely limiting once you try to customize fonts, add images (such as the one shown on the packaging), or combine those features with a mail merge. Although the packaging image appears to allow font customization, any changes revert back to the default font during the merge. Because the template is built as a table, rotating an image 180 degrees for the reverse side of the card is also not possible.
Additionally, there is no way to include a single repeating image on each card while running a mail merge. I spent an unnecessary amount of time trying to make these features work. Ultimately, I had to print the entire batch once with the image, run it again for the mail merge, and manually adjust the fonts. I never found a solution for rotating an image, so I resorted to using a simple colored circle instead.
It is disappointing—and frustrating—that the design shown on the box cannot be recreated easily using the template and mail merge tools provided. I wasted a lot of time, and conversation with ChatGPT trying to make it work.
Response from avery.comBy Avery Customer Care, December 1, 2025
We are sorry to hear this. It sounds like you may have been using Microsoft Word to design these. It can be more difficult to design tent cards through that program for the reasons you mentioned. We would be happy to walk you through designing them in our Design & Print Online tool which is free to use. We have over 200 fonts and mail merge. You would also be able to upload an image and have it be applied to all the tent cards. You can contact our Care Team at 800-462-8379 and we would be happy to help!

Great quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are such great quality. Make sure to use with very good ink. They are great for ink printing from a printer or good for traditional calligraphy. Great set of place cards.
