Dipped Cork Place Cards
Ask all your wine and champagne drinking friends and family to save up their corks and transform them into place cards. Dip half the cork in paints that match your wedding colors before cutting small incision on the top of each cork lid. You can then slip the place card into the incision to create this cool place card. If you can’t collect enough corks, you can buy them from your local craft store or online.
