March is National Craft Month! In our second post in our Do It Yourself Wedding Series, we’ll cover how to make a rustic seating cards display.

Want to make sure your wedding guests can find their seat? Why lay out their seating cards on a boring table? Rustic and vintage are always in, and we’ll show you how to organize and display seating cards so your guests can find their way to the right seat.

Supplies needed:

Table number business cards
Vintage frame
Twine
Push pins or tacks
Clothespins
Felt-tip marker or pen
Scissors

Step 1: Fill in the names of your guests on the cards.

Step 2: Arrange the cards in alphabetical order.

Step 3: Depending on your guest count, figure out the appropriate number of cards to fit on each twine row, factoring in the size of your frame and the size of your party.

Step 4: Tie a knot to the edge of one tack and push it in towards the top of the frame. Hold down the tack and measure across the frame to where the second tack will be. Leave 2 inches of room for the second tack’s knot.

Step 5: Depending on how many cards will fit per row, thread the clothespins onto the twine.

Step 6: Tie the second knot onto the other tack, pull the twine taut and press into the frame, making sure the twine is straight and parallel to the top of the frame.

Step 7: Continue steps 4-6 until you’ve completed the number of rows you’ll need.

Step 8: Attach each card to each clothespin in alphabetical order.

Step 9: You’re done! Enjoy your rustic seating cards display!

Browse through the invitations to find the one that you like. (Please note: that you cannot change the color of any of the designs on the invitation, you however can change the text colors)
Once you are on the invitation page you can fill in the information/details for your wedding and watch them appear in the preview.

Changing the Fonts/Font Colors

Editing the Text

If you want to just delete the text, hit the "x" beside the text you want to delete a window will pop up and ask you if you are sure you want to delete it. If you want to edit the text, hit the "change text" link beside the text that you would like to edit.

Adding/Deleting Images

2. To add an image click the "add image" button on the right, it gives you a few different options on where to select your photos.
3. If you want to move the images to the front or back, either use the drop down menu on the right "arrange" and select where you would like it. Or drag and drop using the list on the side to where you would like it.
4. To resize the image either drag the image on the invitation using the boxes on the corners of the image, or use the "-" "+" buttons on the side.
