    I love the flow chart save the date. What a neat idea. You did a great job with the guest book, favors and the map too. We did a ton of paper DIYs, I Do shoe bling and OTT boxes. I think everything turned out well and it made the day that much more special.

    Your STDs are very creative. Great Idea! We also did a mad lib type card to put in the welcome bags. I just received them from VP and there is a minor typo. FH said to leave it not such a big deal. If you click down to the right of my signatures there is a bio link. That has the stuff I have completed so far. FH is working OT today and its raining so I plan to wrap up about 4 or 5 projects and then we are pretty close to being done.

    Wow, I am seriously impressed with you gals.  We are getting married Nov 3rd (this year!) at Olowalu and we are just getting our invitatons together now!  Well we did only get engaged about 8 weeks ago, so I'm just happy that we are able to get everything together.  Good thing I'm a teacher with the summer off, so I have time to get started!

    I teach too, so summer time is my DIY time! The cake toppers were easy... I posted a quick tutorial on weddingbee under MsKoloa. Basically you buy little wooden people (they make ones that look more like it's wearing a dress, also, but not small enough for my needs) and trace with a pencil what you want to paint on it. I used acrylic paints and very small brushes to paint them BUT maybe if I were to do it again (for a friend of course!) I would use paint markers to be more precise. $50 on etsy and $1.50 DIY. :)

    The grow-your-own-herb boxes cost me about $1 per box. The tutorial for that would take too long to type so I'll post a link here from my weddingbee post.
