My husband and I celebrated out 10 year anniversary last month and wedding season is still in full swing. My baby sister is getting married at the end of this month and we’re all pretty excited about it. Of course, that also means that I’ve been busy with some projects I’m helping with. One of those projects is making a rustic card display for their sign-in table at their reception. Keep reading for the full tutorial.

DIY rustic card display
building your own card display
One of the things that I wanted to do for my sister’s wedding was create a simple and rustic card display for their gift table. I knew that this would work perfectly with their wedding theme and thought it would be more creative than a basket sitting on a table (no offense intended, I had one too).

Luckily, there are a lot of projects going on around our house and my parent’s house (who happen to live in our same neighborhood) and we have quite a bit of scrap wood and chicken wire laying around, so this project was nearly free, all I had to do was purchase a couple of hinges!
materials needed:
- scrap wood cut to the lengths you want
- chicken wire
- 8 screws
- staple or nail gun
If you can work a screwdriver you can construct this simple display. After attaching your four sides together then staple or nail the chicken wire to the back of the frame, then attach two hinges to the sides. That’s all it takes but everyone will be impressed by the awesomeness of your handiwork, I promise.

My dad is one of my favorite guys to work on projects with. Maybe I should pick up an American Greetings card for him next time I’m at Walmart too, huh? With my dad’s help this project came together in no time and I can’t wait to see it in action at the wedding! And by action I mean sitting beautifully on a gift table at my baby sister’s wedding reception. I think that this card display would also look great as décor in a dorm room or as a fun way to display Christmas cards!

Such a great idea!! Love it! 🙂
This is such a good idea! It’s perfect for weddings or any party! I will definitely think about using this idea around the holidays for all the Christmas cards we get.
Girl! You need to sell these! SO cute. 🙂
Totally love the display! Maybe for my upcoming baby shower? Also, unrelated but not: American Greetings has that new set of infertility-related cards out and I LOVE their first commercial about them. Wonderful stuff!
Oh my gosh, I know, I totally bawled. I shared it on my Facebook page, so good!
Such a cute idea! We have something similar to this that we made with string:)
Seriously love this !! I love all things rustic anyways plus the idea of having it display Christmas cards is perfect !
This is such a cute way to display cards at weddings! I love it. I made a Christmas card display like this a few years ago.
Oh I love this so much!!! You are so creative!
This is so cute and simple! I usually make my own cards but I like to have a few store bought on hand too. Funny story: my dad and step mom gave me the same birthday card three years in a row! Apparently they thought it was REALLY funny. 😉

I love this idea so much!! DIY projects are my fav!
