Our anniversary is coming up, so I thought today would be the perfect day to share our DIY wedding place card holders.
I wanted nice looking place card holders, but our wedding expenses were quickly adding up. So we decided to make the place card holders to save some money.
They were pretty easy to make.

Supply list for DIY wedding place cards:
- Wine corks (you can drink a bunch of wine, have your neighbors save them for you or buy them here)
- Black cardstock
- White cardstock
- Green ribbon
- Small hole punch
How to make DIY wedding place cards from wine corks
1. Make a slit in each wine cork.
Make sure not to cut deep enough for a card to sit in there without going so far that the cork will break in half.
2. Cut the black cardstock.
We cut the black cardstock into 2 15/16” x 1 15/16” pieces.
3. Punch holes in the black card stock.
I bought a smaller than usual hole punch – just big enough for a ribbon to fit through.
4. Cut the ribbon and tie a bow in each black cardstock piece.
I used 6 inches of ribbon for each place card holder.
5. Type all guest names and table numbers into Microsoft Word, and print off.
Be sure to space the names far enough apart that when you cut the white card stock, there’s plenty of room around the names for a nice look.
We cut the white cardstock into 2 15/16” x 1 15/16” pieces.
6. Use rubber cement to adhere the white and black card stock together.
7. Put each cardstock piece into a cork.

What a cute idea. I always throw out corks away, and every time I’m tossing them in the trash, I think to myself. “I feel like I could do something with these.” I think these would be perfect for a dinner party or holiday celebration as well. Looks like I now have a good reason to keep my wine corks 🙂
