DIY (tentative) List
(Nothing is done yet. These are examples.)

  • Water Bottle Labels
  • Cootie Catchers: See below
  • Kids Coloring Books: Wedding themed coloring book with a word search and maze. Made in Microsoft word and printed on my printer.
  • Flower girl Basket: I figure I'll buy a white one from a dollar store or walmart then add pink and green ribbon to make it look good. I plan on doing this with the Ring Bearer Pillow, Guestbook, Cake Serving Set, and Toasting Flutes as well.
  • Ring Bearer Pillow
  • Guestbook
  • Shoe dying & something blue Bling: I want hot pink shoes for my wedding dress, the girls will have lime green. (Shoe bling explained below.)
  • Tissue Paper Poms: See Below
  • Cake Table Letters: "I Do" - See below
  • Paddle Fan Ceremony Programs
  • Playing with monograms
  • Photoshare Cards: going to use vistaprint I think. Having problems with colors though. We'll see how it goes. 
  • Aisle Runner

Wedding Cootie Catcher!

Picture
So I found a template for this last night. They are ADORABLE! And they'll be a really cheap way to entertain the people who just sit at the tables at the wedding and don't dance. (You know who you are.)
The Top four pannels say "Mike" "Jenae" "June 18" and "2011"
The inside ones say "Live" "Happily" "Ever" "After" and "Old" "New" "borrowed" "Blue"
Then the fortunes are just cheesey love quotes :) So awesome! I cannot wait. I figured I'll just print them out on some colored paper (pink and green)

Water Bottle Labels

Picture
I found a template to make water bottle labels. They are so cute. It will look so nice. Another pretty inexpensive touch that will make everything soooo cool.

Shoes: Something Blue Bling

Picture
I've seen this on a lot of wedding websites. Brides who don't have blue in their weddings but want to keep the "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" tradition add blue rhinestones to the bottom of their shoes! Very cute.

Tissue Paper Poms

Picture
If you know me you've probably already heard about this because I am IN LOVE with these poms.
(Ok, so I was Pom Pon Captain in high school, I think I'm still obsessed. haha)

Cake Table Letters

I've seen this a lot too. You just need wooden letters, paint them your colors (+ glitter or rhinestones) and set them on your cake table to spruce it up a little. Very cute. I've see "I do" "We Do" and "Love" I'm not sure which phrase I like the best.

Paddle Fan Ceremony Programs

Picture
I like this idea because it is functional and cute. Its the program for your ceremony and a fan (duh) just in case its hot. It would be cheaper than buying programs and fans. Which I was going to do.

Monograms

I'm really not even sure if I'll use these. I don't know if I like any of them yet.

Photoshare Card

Hopefully the card isn't cut short around the borders so you can see the whole camera.
