WEDDING WINE THEME, CARDS
Bride & Groom Head Table, Table Numbers, Escort & Well Wishers Cards
Getting married at a winery or just love wine… these wedding cards will really make your wine theme special. And they are SO fun to make ! You can start drinking wine and saving the corks when you get engaged and by the time the wedding rolls around you are sure to have plenty. For a nice touch, on each cork write the date and where or who you were with when you drank the bottle of wine, save them, and try and match as many of the corks with the same invited guests, on their escort cards.
This will give your guests a big warm smile for sure !

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE IT
- Cut out all your papers at one time and put them together in piles according to table numbers, escort cards, and wishing well cards. You will only need one card for the bride and groom tag, for the head table. The head table, parents, best man, bridesmaids and groomsman all get regular escort cards, but can be set up on the table ahead of time.
- Print names, leaving 2 spaces between, for cutting room. (Optional, add a border above names at this time ) Print out table numbers, leaving 4 spaces between each one, so you have room to cut out hearts around letters.
