    I haven't started doing any of my DIY yet, but here is a list of some things that might inspire you: 1.  candles inside of shells (Martha Stewart had some on her web-site under summer crafts...they were super cute) I have also seen this done with coconut halves 2.  photoshare cards (one was posted in the past day) 3.  door hangers (see Miamibride) 4.  palm fans or silk fans 5.  welcome letters 6.  petal cones 7.  tears of joy packets for mothers 8.  embroidered hankercheif for fathers 9.  ring bearer shell (etsy has some cute ones that you can DIY) 10.  cake toppers 11.  all things stationary: menues, timelines, place cards, who's who guides, maps, reccomendation cards of places to visit at your destination, programs12.  memory collage or candles honoring those that can not be at your wedding13.  wedding party t-shirts including flower girl and ring bearer14.  sea shell boutinears15.  monogramed parasol for pictures (see tbailey)

     I have some pretty cool projects planned, If I don't say so my self :)One of the things I am excited about doing are these tea light votives. I think they would be super easy for you to do  Sarah w/ your wedding b/c you could just pre cut the vellum at home and tape them last minute to the candles in like 20 min or less...http://tinyurl.com/mdhqpu I have a whole bunch of links though lemmee look for them...
