Depending on what your end - use is as a general guide I go for 250gsm + for base cards, 160gsm super smooth for decoupage and between 180 - 300 gsm for toppers, again depending on whther they have to stand up or not!!
As for backing papers you can buy 100 and 120 gsm paper which is thick enough for printing them and on both sides.
