Default Custom jewelry tags. Supplier? Advice?

I'm making 200 ornaments for a wedding. I was going to put custom murrini on the ornaments but its not working the way I want so I thought I'd get custom jewelry tags with the couple's names on them.

Do you have your own custom tags? Do you have a good supplier?

Suzan:

I can highly recommend Infinity Stamps at www.infinitystamps.com. Might be too pricey for your purpose? I have the Tagmate System for the smallest oval tag. I have probably stamped 500-600 sterling silver tags with my company logo and every single one is absolutely perfect. There has been literally "zero" waste due to bad strikes.

Just an idea...a less expensive option might be incorporating custom-printed colorful ribbon with the couple's names?

I got my tags done by Dolphin, who were recommended to me by Maggie/BeadTowne here on LE. Here's the link: http://www.dolphinbead.com/

They will do a "rush" job for an extra charge if you're in a hurry - I got mine in less than a week! You will have to contact them for pricing, but they do have a fun "preview" button where you can see all the great fonts and colors they can make your tag! They didn't have my font but did an internet search until they found it!

Here's a few snaps of how my tags look...they are 1.25" square with the punched hole in the top corner done in Bavand Font on Buff:




I would love to someday have an actual stamp to stamp metal tags with my logo, but maybe for your purposes this might work a little better. Just a suggestion...

(P.S. Just curious...what murrini were you trying to achieve? I'm always curious about murrini, ya know!?! )
