Printing & Using Your Gingerbread Name Tags
You can make these as simple or standard as you want. Purchase name tag holders for your event, or simply use a hole punch and some string to create name tag necklaces.


Here are a few tips to get the best results with these name tags:
Print on Quality Paper
For the best results, print on 80 lb cardstock or heavy paper. This will give your name tags a sturdy, professional look, perfect for attaching with ribbon or twine.
Classic Black & White Illustrations
Since these tags are black and white, they’re both easy and inexpensive to print! If you’d like to add color, consider using colored pens or markers to personalize each name.
DIY Tips for Extra Fun
You could even use these as stickers by printing on sticker paper or laminate them to create reusable tags for your yearly holiday traditions.
Perfect for Every Holiday Gathering
These gingerbread name tags can certainly be used for Christmas, but I think they could work all year long. Most especially during the fall months when gingerbread is so beloved.

Use them to add a bit of festive flair to:
- Classroom Parties – Assign each student a gingerbread-inspired name.
- Holiday Events – Have a fun twist with character-based names for your guests.
- Family Gatherings – Add a little nostalgia with each name tag, helping everyone feel like a part of the story.
