DIY #3 and #4 I'M ON A ROLL BABY!

djscat

Here are some more items I intend to use for the engagement party Saturday. 
(also posted in the napkins post)
Since my colors are black, white, and silver I used the silver metallic ink.  If I had to do over I think I would just do the black ink on white and silver napkins.  The matallic ink can become really tacky and stick to the napkins. 

Cost:
Customer stamp $6.99 from Ebay
stazon ink $8.99 (with 40% off coupon.  Black ink is only $5.50 with coupon) from Michaels
cocktail napkins 30 pack for $1.00 at dollar tree




The great thing is now that I have the set up I can do this for the showers, and the wedding as well.  I plan to get every penny out of this. 

I also made some custom water bottles for the party.  I only took photos of the front and back but on the side in between the two monograms it says "Thank you for sharing in our special day." 

Cost:
Template FREE I googled it and found it online.
Paper 3 labels per page means I only needed 8 pages to do a case. Had it so FREE
Ink I already had a printer with ink. Also Free
Water bottles $2.50+$1.20CRV
Total cost $3.80 for 24 customer bottle waters.

The template I used is at home on my laptop.  If you like my design I will share that once I get home.  In the meantime here are some I found online that are a little more fancy.  You may like these better.  Just let me know if you also want me to share the one I used.

Mine are not.  What I plan to do is put the water bottles in the fridge the night before the party to chill.  At the party I will have them lined up on the table for show with ice and cups close by.  They do sell the waterproof paper.  I found that out this morning looking for the links for this post.  Avery sells a waterproof label that you could print on and stick to the bottle.  Just check out the links above one of them talks about that.  Good luck and happy crafting!

Those look great!. I didn't even think about making my own cocktain napkins but I think I will give it a try. That seems like a simple task for me to take on.

You go girl!  I'm loving it!  Good job!

Oh man these are nice! I love the napkin idea. I have a personalized stamp and was using it for my wishing tree cards but that might be a great idea for the napkins too!! Great Job!
