Gold Square Place Card Design

I need a clean, minimalist design that fits a 1.5-inch square and will be printed on metallic gold cardstock. The piece will serve as a small name card that sits on each dinner plate, so legibility and refined simplicity are more important than elaborate graphics.

I will supply the names once the layout is approved; for now, please mock up the design with the word “Sample” so I can focus on spacing, font weight, and overall balance. A single-sided layout is fine—no need for extra ornamentation beyond tasteful typography that complements the gold stock.

Deliverables I’m expecting:
• Print-ready PDF sized exactly 1.5" × 1.5" with 0.125" bleed
• Source file (AI, EPS, or layered PSD) so I can swap the names myself later
• Font information or flattened outlines to ensure trouble-free printing

If you have experience designing for foil or metallic papers, let me know; subtle tweaks to contrast can make all the difference on gold. I’m ready to move quickly once I see a direction that captures the understated elegance I’m after.
