Wedding season is here! Congratulations to all brides and grooms! I know how expensive weddings can be, and I often get asked for clever ideas to make the reception personal but not cost an arm and a leg.
One very easy idea is to make wine glass place settings. Goodwill is a great source for wine glasses in all shapes and sizes. The best part of this project is none of them need to match. Look for similar stem height or bowl shape.
1. Wrap the stem with painter’s tape and paint the base with spray paint that coordinates with your wedding colors.
2. Or paint with chalkboard paint using a foam brush. Write each guest’s name or table number with basic white chalk. Everyone will know which glass is theirs and where to sit.
3. Another idea it to make personalized wine “charms”. I picked up a package of metal rim tags at the office supply store and painted them with the same chalkboard paint.
4. Attach one to each glass and write a table number or name.
Everyone has a glass to toast the bride and groom and goes home with a special souvenir. One they can use again and again.
