a few projects (PIP)

So, here are two of the ways we personalized our wedding.  

Guest gift bags (everyone was from out-of-town)...we had the hotels put them in the rooms so they'd be waiting for our guests:
The bags are from Oriental Trading, and I ordered the stamp from Etsy (Sand Shooters was the store).  We put chips, PB crackers, trail mix, lifesavers, 4th of July tootsie rolls, a welcome letter, and a map of Freeport in each bag.  

Menus for our dinner stations and dessert buffet.  (I don't have a photo of the finished product, but we touched up the paint a little and of course took off the masking tape.)

    <div>Yes.  We bought 3 windows at an antique store.  We (or maybe H and his friend that does boatbuilding and knows what she's doing) scraped the wood, caulked around the glass, and painted the frames.  I wrote on the glass with Sharpie--we typed up the menu in the font we wanted and then I traced it.  I think I am going to clean off the writing and sell them, if anyone is interested.  </div><div>
    </div><div>We displayed them on easels at the reception.  </div>

    Looks cute! I especially like the bags because they look very similar to what we're doing. :)
