How to Make Watercolour Place Cards

Sometimes you might want to get creative and, if you’ve got the urge to put some of that creativity towards your wedding planning, this simple DIY might be the one for you. Especially, if like me, you already have a stash of watercolour paints in a cupboard from your teenage ‘artistic’ phase.

Although if we don’t have that shared experience, this Watercolour Place Card tutorial still doesn’t break the bank if you choose to buy a watercolour paint or two.

This is a DIY project that ticks all the boxes. It’s easy to do, budget friendly and means you’ll have unique, personalised place settings for all your guests, which can be tailored so easily to match your colour scheme. Plus, it’s a DIY that won’t actually take too long. Although just make sure you allow for some drying time!

To create your place cards you will need:

  • Watercolour Paper – we used an A3 watercolour paper pad but any watercolour paper will work as you tear it to the size you want your place cards to be.
  • Watercolour paint in the colour(s) of your choice
  • Paint brush
  • Sharpie/Marker pen
  • Hole Punch
  • Ribbon of your choice

We’d love to see if you give this DIY a go. Tag us in your photos over on Instagram! Want to hear even more from Bride Society?  You can find us in all of these places:
