This week’s Etsy Wedding Wednesday features extra-special place cards and Save the Dates, as well as sustainable wedding rings and ways to re-invent your wedding shoes.

Hand-engraved Glass Stones for Place Cards/Guest Favors from Etsy seller ArtfulCelebrations, $4 each.

Rather than using paper place cards that will get thrown away, why not multi-task with these keepsake place cards from Etsy seller ArtfulCelebrations? These hand-engraved stones can be round our square and double as wedding favors, which the guests can later use as personalized paperweights or decorative items in their home.

Hand-engraved Glass Tiles for Table Numbers, Reserved Signs, or Place Markers from Etsy seller ArtfulCelebrations, $8 each.

You can also mark your pews or rows of chairs for your ceremony, or create custom table place markers with these larger glass tiles.

Vegas Scratch-Off Save the Dates by Etsy seller BeyondDesign, $30 design deposit, $3 each, minimum order of 50 cards + matching envelopes.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to Save the Dates, Etsy seller BeyondDesign brings us scratch-offs. That’s right – all the fun of a lottery ticket, and then you get to go to a wedding! The example shown is for a Vegas wedding, but a scratch-off design could be fun for any wedding.
