    I'm sighing to all of this.. LOL.. I do not know where to start.. can we work on these things together ladies??? So serious..
    @Mrsbad.. so for the tears of joy packet, you are handing these out at the ceremony? along with programs?? i love these.. I want to do them too... are these individual tissue? where are you ordering from? or are you buying a box of tissue and wrapping it?

    menu cards? are ya'll doing one per table or for each guest seat? i'm having buffet.. is this necessary? if so could i just do one per table?


    I suppose i can do programs too.. is there a template for these anyone wants to share?

    Cake topper? i've been searching for a large enough cake topper to bling out and i can't find one. not even at hobby lobby.. what do i do?

    @ MrsBad... for the we do at the cake table, what are you making that out of? Drink stirrers?? and i was thinking of giving the bm wine glasses.. too.. i was just gone pay for them to be made.. but you gave me hope.. :-)..

    Can ya'll tell i'm so needy??? LOL.. SMDH..

    @ keysmit, 

    Here are my prior posts on my DYIs. 

    Centerpieces -- Click
    Alphabet frame for guest-book -- Click
    Toasting glasses/BM glasses, table numbers, hanger, invites* -- Click

    * I am not longer using these invites. Yet, I had already made ALL the pocketfolds. So I am transforming them into menu sleeves and inserting the menus in them. I'm having a buffet, but I need to reuse the pocketfolds I already made. I'm adding a 'reception to do' list to the menu to make it interesting. Other than repurposing, I would have made one menu per table.

    I remembered I took some photos on my phone of the MOB/MOG hankies & the 3 cords (braided in photo) I made. 





    I hope this helps.
