Once your holes are made, blow the egg whites and yolks out of the eggs. Once all of the whites and yolks are removed, you can color your eggs. Simply color them however you wish. While the eggs are drying, write the bride and grooms names and the wedding date on the 1/4 inch ribbons. You could also write cute little wedding sayings on the ribbons if you would like. When you are finished with the ribbon, go back to the eggs and write each guests name on one each egg. Then, stick a ribbon into the end of each egg.

These are your egg name cards, now simply place each named egg in each seating spot where each person is supposed to set.
