I'm the 1st violinist in my string quartet, and since we're playing a wedding in about a month, I want to make business cards to hand out to our clients (since it's really embarrassing to write out your contact information on the back of torn sheet music . . . sweatdrop ). For those of you who run professional music-based businesses, what information do I need to put on these cards? I was thinking our quartet name, of course, my phone number, as it is the primary contact number for our quartet, and then putting the names and instruments of our members on the back. Anything else? I want these to look as professional as possible while still being pretty much homemade.

I both teach and comp.
My card has my name, number, experience, instruments I teach/comp with, something saying that rates may vary according to need/travel time, something along the lines of "references available" and my home/email address.
It is important to put your email address as a lot of people aren't comfortable with calling you straight up, this is especially with new students.
