Most sets include a 50-card pack of advice cards and a coordinating tent/instruction card. Some designs also add an accessory—commonly a glass jar with a lid—to store completed cards.
Advice cards measure about 5.1 inches wide by 6 inches high. The coordinating tent/instruction card is typically 5 x 7 inches.
They’re used as an interactive activity: guests write parenting tips, predictions, or anecdotes on the cards. A tent or instruction card typically invites guests to participate and explains how to fill out the cards.
Many sets use thick, durable cardstock and thoughtful, attractive artwork so written messages hold up over time. These durable materials and appealing designs make the completed cards suitable for long-term storage as a memento.
Product details typically state no assembly is required. At least one set is shipped shrink-wrapped with a sticker seal for easy storage and display.
Listed packaged dimensions vary by set. Examples range from about 5.9 in (H) x 5.9 in (W) x 1 in (D) to roughly 6 in (H) x 4 in (W) x 4 in (D).
