I think my favorite DIY project was probably the passport save-the-dates I made

Although, I also made my invitations, and decorations, you can see the links to all my DIY projects Here: http://tobyandnikki.blogspot.com/search/label/DIY

We've done a lot of DYI, despite being rather un-crafty. The one I'm most impressed with is our invitations. At first, when we were bringing home just a bunch of 12x12 pieces of paper, I thought this was going to be the worst Holly Hobby craft idea ever. However, I really liked the way they turned out! I should have had more faith in my FI, who figured out and cut everything while I glued. The inserts are for directions and the rsvp is a postcard (it's the only thing we didn't make per se, we ordered them from Vista Print). We actually had about 5 slightly different versions of our invitation, because the pink and white print was hard to find in large quantites and we just got some variations (some were pink and black, some pink polka dots, etc).

I wish I had time for a DIY project, but I wouldn't even know where to begin... it's just all so overwhelming right now. I really like the passport idea!!! They look great

 I am not really the DIY person in my family.  My mom, on top of running a killer bakery, is DIYing a million little things for my wedding in Sep 2012. She made these place card holders to go at the head of each plate.  They are made from a large silver button and a lanyard clip.  They look amazing in person! 

She is also making a lot of fabric pomander balls to hang at the ceremony site.  We are getting married at The Elms in their gazebo.  While the gazebo is really pretty, there are certain things (like electrical boxes), that we want to cover.  She will also be making ceiling to floor drapery that will swag to the outer poles.  Strands of these pomander balls will hang in the front center to mark the place where we will stand.  Each strand will have 3-5 balls.  There will also be larger, dark red-orange pomanders.

 

This is a DIY project I actually did myself!  My mom was busy working on cakes, so she let me take over this fool proof project.  We are going to fill the ceiling of the covered porch off of the ballroom with these chinese lanterns.  The ceiling is . . . let’s say, yucky looking!  We were able to get 3-packs of the lanterns in orange and white for amazingly cheap.  Like 3 bucks for a pack of three that includes a small, medium and large lantern.  I then covered the white lantern in white cupcake liners.  When it was covered, I went through and put layers of smaller cupcake liners inside the larger ones.  This picture shows a white lotus lantern that needs a few more small ones set in.  This is the small lantern.  I also made the large one and it was huge!  We are going to string LED lights inside to light them up.  The white one appears ivory when this is done, and they are great!

 

We are making our invitations, which we already have a sample of, but I don’t have it at my house.  We will be doing more DIY, too!

Mine are going to be clear glass though, i'm not going to spray paint them. Easy, cheap, and beautiful. I can live with that!
