Tossing cones were gonna put lavender in for our exit of the ceremony, our table numbers, and a sign I made for our candy bar, but I'm not sure if were gonna use it yet

We're totally doing some DIY!

-We're making our own programs. Printing them on pale yellow paper, and folding them into blue card stock. They'll be tied together with ribbon

-We're using the same materials to make table cards for the reception.

-Cute DIY boxes for the ring bearers to carry our rings in. My MOH actually decorated these for us, and they're awesome!

-Guestbook. It'll be more of a scrapbook. We'll put a couple pictures of us on each sheet, and decorate them. Each table will get a sheet along with some fancy pens to sign and write whatever they want. When the wedding is over, we'll put them all in the scrapbook!

-Music. We're having a trombone choir for the processional (Pachebel Canon) recessional (not sure yet), and reception entrance music (76 trombones). FI and I met playing trombone, so this is completely appropriate! Anyway, I'm writing the arrangements myself, which is quite the project. So far, so good!

I have also DIY'd a lot: place cards, favour (bags of coffee), centre pieces (well, FI, FFIL and FBIL did the chain sawing!), table numbers, I refinished some chalkboards for the wedding program and signage, I created all of the stationery things but printed from Vista Print. Here are some of my things!

crysspears · June 2013

jenn5628 · June 2013

Thanks! I have a colleague who has all of the stamping, etc, things for card making and she helped me out. She has thing imprint roller thing that imprinted the wood grain on the paper... I think it's my favourite thing!

we're doing our own escort cards and table numbers. we cut flat bottoms on to wine corks and we're going to print names on cardstock and use the wine cork as a holder! same thing with table numbers!! we're honeymooning to napa valley so we're tying wine in to our theme

i think that's the only diy thing we're doing!

I have pics at home, I'll post some tonight.

Edit: I got the tutorial here: http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/paper-star-lantern.html

I cut the pieces on my Silhouette machine.

@Price4life-this is basically what we're going off of: http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-programs/articles/diy-wedding-program-instructions.aspx

I'm not quite sure how it's all going to come together yet, but I can't wait to do them! I don't know how it compares to vista print, but it will cost us about $40 to do 200 of them!

Belle0720 · June 2013

We are DIYing bridesmaids bouquets (baby's breathe) and bud vases(to supplement center pieces), place cards (card stock & wine corks), painting picture frames for the table numbers, and I'm planning to make a big K & G out of wine corks. FI is also building our altar.
