What to include
- The red header with HELLO in large white capitals and "my name is" beneath it
- A first name or nickname in the white panel, dark and bold, as large as the space allows
- Plenty of empty white space on blank stickers so a marker name has room
- An optional small prompt from {{custom1}}, such as "Ask me about sourdough", for icebreakers
- A pronoun line from {{pronouns}} only if your group invites people to share them
Printed names or blank write-in stickers: choosing for your crowd
Print known guests from your list and prepare blank name panels for walk-ins, keeping both versions in the same color and layout. Set out the blank tags at the entrance so people can choose the name they want others to use.
Markers that won't smear on handwritten name stickers
Test a marker on the actual badge stock and allow the ink to dry before wearing the sticker. Choose a tip that produces a large readable name without filling the white panel with small handwriting.
Getting name stickers to stay on clothes and out of the laundry
Follow the label manufacturer's clothing guidance and avoid surfaces it does not recommend, offering holders when needed. Remind guests to remove the badge before washing or drying clothes and keep spares available when a sticker loses adhesion.
How to make Hello My Name Is name tags
Open the Hello My Name Is template
In /maker, choose Hello My Name Is under Templates. It opens at the Avery 5395 size, 8 stickers per sheet. Keep the red header, or select the header shape and change its fill to match your club's color.
Paste first names from your RSVP list
Under People, paste one name per line. Nicknames are fine, since this is what guests will be called all night. Use Preview to step through the list and spot names long enough for auto-fit to shrink them.
Export named sheets, then a blank set
Export the PDF of named stickers first. Then delete the {{name}} text box so the white panel stays empty and export again for write-in blanks. Undo brings the name text back if you need it.
Run the alignment test on plain paper
Print the alignment test sheet at actual size with fit-to-page turned off, lay it over a sticker sheet, and hold both to the light. Nudge the offset in 1/32 inch steps until the outlines match, then load the label sheets.
Questions about Hello My Name Is name tags
Can I change the red header on a Hello My Name Is sticker to another color?
The header is a shape, so you can select it and change its fill to your team, school or brand color while keeping the familiar layout. White header text stays readable on most dark colors; on yellow or light green, switch the text to black. Keep at least one sheet in classic red if your event leans on the retro look.
Will a Hello My Name Is sticker stay on a sweater or fleece jacket?
Not well. Loose knits and fleece have fibers that keep the adhesive from making full contact, so the corners lift and the sticker can fall off within the hour. Suggest guests put it on a smooth layer underneath, a shirt collar area, or a bag strap. Avoid suede, leather and velvet entirely, because the adhesive can leave marks.
Can I print Hello My Name Is tags on plain paper instead of sticker sheets?
You can. Export the PDF with cut lines turned on, print on regular or heavier card stock, and trim along the lines. Without adhesive, attach each tag with a safety pin or a loop of double-sided tape, keeping pins away from delicate fabric. For peel-and-stick tags, print the same design on Avery 5395 sheets.
How many Hello My Name Is stickers fit on one printed sheet?
Eight. Each Avery 5395 sticker is 3-3/8 x 2-1/3 inches, arranged 2 columns by 4 rows on a US Letter sheet. A 40-person meetup takes five sheets. Print one more sheet of blanks than you think you need, since late RSVPs, misspelled names and a peeled sticker that folded over all need replacements.
How many printed names can I make without giving an email?
You can make up to 500 “Hello, my name is” stickers without sharing an email address or creating an account. Paste your guest list or import a CSV, then download sheets with no added watermark or credit line.
What should go on the second line of an icebreaker name sticker?
Pick a prompt that gives strangers an easy opening: "Ask me about my garden", a hometown, the last book someone finished, or how they know the host. Put the prompt in a {{custom1}} column of your spreadsheet, or print a blank second line and let guests fill it in. Keep it to a few words so the name stays the biggest thing on the sticker.
