I have the perfect display for all the wine loving brides & grooms out there! This cork seating chart display is such a fun way to seat your guests. Write guests' names on wine tags and display them on a rustic chalkboard that fits in with the winery decor.

Even better, this seating chart is cost effective and simple to make. Read on below to learn how to make this unique seating chart. The time it will take you will depend on the number of guests attending your wedding.

First, use a White Craft Gauze Cheesecloth to apply a light brown wood stain to the frame of the Flipside Wood Framed Chalk Board. Let it dry.

Use an American Crafts™ Permanent Chalk Marker to write instructions for guests, asking them to find their seat assignment.

There is the opportunity here to have some fun with your message, while I used a simple "Please take a seat" you could use "Find your reserve" or "Grab a cork to find your fork"! If you don't trust your calligraphy skills, use white alphabet stickers to identify the seating chart.
