Do-It-Yourself Projects
_ Honestly, I only like to think I'm a crafty person. Maybe I AM crafty, I
just don't have the time... get frustrated if it doesn't come out the
way I envisioned... or... would just rather buy it on Etsy. My parents are
funding a lot of our wedding, but I do want to do some of our wedding
accessories myself.
Haven't started - - - In progress! - - - Completed!!!
Birdcage Cardholder
I plan on buying this birdcage from saveoncrafts.com. I want to add a "cards" label to the front, a ribbon around the cage, and other accessories to jazz it up. It will hold cards that guests bring at the reception!
Save the Date Postcards and Invitations
After finding cute save the date postcard and invitation ideas from a seller on Etsy, I asked my graphic design friend to make a design similar. He made them and we had them printed with VistaPrint.
Charitable Donation Picture Frame
In lieu of favors, we are making a donation to the ASPCA, as Austin and I are huge animal lovers. We see favors as sort of unnecessary. I"m going to make a larger frame with mat and a little text box at the bottom explaining to guests what we have done. It will say something like "In lieu of favors, a donation has been made to the ASPCA in your name" below the picture at the left. It will all be matted and framed, and hung on a wall in the reception area!
Moss covered letters for front of Chapel
Pretty self explanitory, but I wanted to make moss covered letters to have hanging on the front doors of the Chapel (M and A). It's much cheaper to make your own than to buy them on Etsy! The ones I'm showing here are 20" and they wanted $135 for the pair!
