Burnt Orange Champagne Scrolls

A really fun way to get your guests to their seats is to label a glass of champagne! In this couple’s case, each glass was lined up on a champagne WALL! I scrolled these small pieces of paper (sidenote: I love this terra cotta color paper—YUM) around a pen, just enough on one end so they cascade softly like a loose curl, but made a sharper hook by bending the paper on the other end, which hung to the lip of the flute. a little table number was added to the reverse side so that every guest knew where they were going.

Our Wooden Scrap Table Names | My Wedding

I knew I wanted to have our tables named after all the places where Justin and I have special memories. (Yes, even in Atlantic City! Our third date—lol.) We picked dark wood bistro chairs for our reception, and a dark wood farm table for our head table, so I bought a dark stain to match. These scraps of wood are actually left over pieces from an old building project at our beach house a few years ago! And they were perfect, not only so the names could be large enough to see from a few feet away, but because they were thick enough that they stand up on their own on the tables.

I stained each piece twice and left to dry in the sun. Once they are completely dry (takes 24 hours and being stored in a dry place) you can write on them without the paint sinking in to the wood and bleeding. Pro tip: Moisture is your mortal enemy when writing on wood!
