What can and can't we print on the cards? I have created a design but want to make sure that I won't get in trouble for it. I have an upcoming wedding expo and wanted business cards that are wedding related for this event.

Those look fine. you just can't use the logo or the "discover the chef in you" tagline.

But I can have the words The Pampered Chef on them? Is that still considered ok? Just not the chef's hat? (and the tagline)
 
If I use Pampered Chef on mine, I put the (R) symbol after it because it is a registered name.
 
To get it so it's the actual symbol & not the (r), just type it in Word first, have it make the symbol & then copy that to your vista print stuff. Works like a charm.
 
Kattyschack - That is a beautiful design! I hope it gets you lots of business.

If you're using them only for the wedding show you might want to put on there "specializing in wedding registry".
I've known at least 10 people that got married in the last year and not a ONE of them knew PC offered a registry. Too bad I just got in the biz this year (and almost everyone I know has gotten married in the last 3 years) otherwise I would have had registries us the wazoo!Also, I think I ordered the smallest amount (again, I think) and it was like 500. They are going to last me awhile. You may consider a more generic design and use a stamp or stickers on the back of them focusing on bridal stuff. Just an idea. Otherwise you may end up with tons of extras you can't use for everyday.

You can use a chef's hat...just not OUR logo hat!
