Now that the wedding preps and madness are over, I've decided to post some of the DIY stuff we put together to share ideas and stuff. We couldn't do as much as we wanted ourselves because we were planning from a distance but we tried really hard to give our special day a special, personal touch.
Here's what you've got to look forward to :
Invites : We made all our invites ourselves. We often wanted to just put our hand in the paper-slicer thingy-ma-bob just to end it all and have a good excuse to order them but we'd already started and it was too late (not to mention - too messy!). I'll post a short description and how-to plus some do's and don'ts.
Name tags : We half-DIY'd our name tags because my brilliant idea of sticking a teeny piece of paper into our printer was a bad, bad one. I'll show you a good way to get out of having to spend more money when you do something stooopid.
Seating Chart : We're also creating our own seating chart. Nothing too fabulous there but with the core of the project in Ottawa and all the pieces here with us in Moose Jaw, it'll make for an interesting read at least.
Favors : Maggie and I prepared some kick-butt ceremony favors together during Easter weekend.
Bathroom Baskets : Because our reception and ceremony are held at the same venue and we have many guests driving quite the distance to attend, we decided to offer them some freshening-up products.
I'm sure we'll need to improvise a ton of things when we finally get there and realize we forgot something important. Stay tuned for more! :)
