A while back, I wrote about doing the wine cork escort cards. I felt like they would be pretty easy and go well with our venue, however I immediately had some issues. First - I cut my finger three times while trying to cut the corks. Secondly, I noticed I could not get the corks to look that good because of the way I was cutting them. (I had found in the DIY Bride book that you can cut the cork down 1/4th and then cut a slit for the card). The ones that I did, looked very uneven. Lastly, I just realized I had no patience or the time to cut between 85-90 corks.
That night, I ended up looking online and found Judy of Wineknotcorkit on ebay. At first I debated on spending money, but then decided that I was getting my nice stimulus check, so went for it. It was the best decision I made because Judy was wonderful. She not only does the corks (she doesn't cut them but has a trick to keep them from rolling), but also personalizes the cards for you. I then sent her my table list and she printed the names on the escort cards. She was fast, so fast that I sent her the list on Sunday and had the corks and cards by Tuesday. They look great and I am absolutely thrilled on how they look.

Sounds like money well spent to me! Think of the time that you saved. They look great. Good score.
they look great!
And sometimes it is just a good decision to have someone else do it...
