A wedding ceremony is not only a holiday for the newlyweds and their relatives, but also a very complicated organizational work. How to make sure that at the same table there are no people nearby, to put it mildly, not quite loving each other? It is impossible to guarantee that a latecomer who is completely far from the assembled company cannot take a seat. So, a childhood friend can easily be squeezed among elderly relatives simply because of being late when there were no more vacant seats. To avoid this situation, do-it- yourself hand-made seating cards to help each guest find their place. Of course, it’s much faster to simply purchase them, but, you see, the feeling will be completely different!
What are wedding cards for?
Despite the solemnity of the event, one of the guests may inadvertently spoil the holiday with their behavior. Some want to sit right next to the air conditioner, while others, on the contrary, are looking for a place away from the draft. Someone prefers only a certain company, and other guests constantly go out to smoke, forcing the others to clear the passage. To minimize such situations, it’s worth making DIY cards. This will keep everyone in a festive mood and not get out of the budget.
How to make DIY cards?
To do this, you will need the imagination and help of friends or relatives. To make such an amount alone will be quite difficult, but having gathered a fun company, you can manage in one evening. You will need thick glossy or matte cardboard. The amount will have to be estimated by eye, because you do not know in advance how many cards to get from each sheet. Then you need to stock up on acrylic paints, brushes and ordinary stationery glue. You can purchase one ready-made card and make your own, based on its size. Remember that cards must be stiff enough and keep their shape on their own. You can make them either in the form of an envelope and put on a plate, or perform in the form of a volumetric pyramid or triangle. Having carved out the necessary number of blanks from cardboard, it is worth stocking up a few extra in case of an unexpected increase in the number of guests. Then we color them in the color of the upcoming wedding, so that the ready-made DIY cards for the wedding, made by yourself, become an additional decoration of the hall.
DIY seating cards: decorations
After the paint has dried, proceed to the most pleasant stage of manufacture. Choose your favorite option, and then follow the rest in the same style. You can make two types of cards - for men and women separately. And you can make everything in one style. Decorate your blanks with whatever you like. For example, silk ribbon, Swarovski crystals or beads. You can stick beautiful lace or wrapping paper of a suitable pattern on the corner of the card. Whatever you come up with, these cards will be not only beautiful, but also exclusive!
