DIY Golf Green Escort Cards

I was on Pinterest and found a photo of super cute golf green escort cards. But there was no tutorial. I hunted online, found people asking for a tutorial, but there was none to be found. So I made them (well, my version of them) and put together a little tutorial.

DIY Golf Green Escort Cards

What You'll Need:

• Dark green card stock
• Light green card stock
• White card stock
• Black permanent ink marker
• Scissors (or paper trimmer)
• Coffee stirrers (5-inch, black plastic)
• One-hole punch
• Tape
• Glue

What You'll Do:

Use scissors or your paper trimmer to cut your dark green card stock in half. Then cut each half into four pieces (each will be 4.25x2.75).

Fold each one in half (to create 2.75x2.125 rectangles).

Use scissors or your paper trimmer to cut your light green card stock in half. Then cut each half into four pieces (so again each will be 4.25x2.75).

Now you have three options. You can fold it into quarters, draw part of your golf green, and cut it out. That's option one. Option two is to freehand each one. And option three, because I like you, is to print out the image I made below. I actually traced the exact one I used for this onto a sheet of paper and scanned it for you. Print that on to a sheet of light green card stock and print it. Then, just cut those out.

Write the names of your guests onto the light green "greens," then glue it onto the dark green. Set it aside to dry.

Now it's time to create your golf flags. Cut the coffee stirrer in half. Cut a half-inch strip of the white card stock. Cut it into 1-inch pieces. Write each table number on one side.

Glue the back of the flag and fold it onto the coffee stirrer. Let it dry.

Punch a hole in the light green card stock, where a golf flag would go on a typical hole. Stick the flag in the hole and tape it to the front of the card.

I absolutely love how these came out. They're perfect if you love to golf or if you are having a wedding at a golf course.

Now, if you want to use the printable I was talking about, it's below. Just right click and save it to your computer. You can then print it out onto a sheet of light green card stock. Cut out the "green" and write on the backside (so none of the outline shows through). I actually traced the one I used onto the paper 20 times, then scanned it. Which reminds me: There are 20 greens per sheet. Keep that in mind so you print all the ones you need.

DIY Golf Wedding Centerpiece

When we were looking at venues, someone took us to see a ballroom at a golf course. "I don't play golf," Pete whispered to me during our tour. "So why would I want to get married at a golf course?"

He had a good point.

If you like to golf, though, and the US Open excites you, then a golf course may be your venue of choice. They usually have gorgeous ballrooms for members-only events that double as wedding venues. You don't have to be a member to host your event there, which is good.

If you are planning a golf wedding, I have a really cute golf wedding centerpiece for you to put together. It shouldn't take very long either, which means you can make them all in one evening and then move on to other wedding tasks.

DIY Golf Wedding Centerpiece

What You'll Need:

• Golf balls
• Golf tees
• Astroturf
• Scissors
• Small vase
• Flowers (in your wedding colors)

What You'll Do:

Cut the astroturf to look (sort of) like a fairway, about one foot from end to end, then about eight inches at the widest portion. You can totally freehand this no problem, but I'm a little OCD about everything wedding. So what I would do is this: The astroturf linked above comes in a 4-foot by 6-foot sheet. I would cut it into 36 1-foot by 8 inch rectangles. Then, cut the fairway from that. That way, they'll all be slightly different but the same uniform size.

Place flowers in the vase and put it in the middle of your fairway.

Put one golf ball and golf tee on the other end.

Set one in the center of each table and you're done.

After the wedding, you can even donate these back to the golf course. They might want to use them for those members-only events we were talking about. Plus, when your wedding is over, you're not really gonna have a need for all of them. You might want to save one, though, in case you decide to host a party during the Masters.
