Card Box

I was going to just decorate a paper box, but this looks like so much more fun!  I love that its in my colors and polka dots!!!! :) I'm sure whatever I make will end up being totally different but I like this as an idea to work from.

So I'm thinking about going with something a little different but along the same lines, I got these boxes at an antique store for $13.

So yesterday I had some motivation and finished the box. I didnt use all the boxes from about just the top, middle and bottom, and I'm pretty proud of how it came out!

Guest Book Replacement!

I really dont see the point of a guest book, and I was debating just not doing one, and then I got an email with a list of "Ways to make your wedding stand out" from theknot.com and I thought this could be really fun!

So I'll be creating a Wedding day Mad Libs for people to fill in, if they want instead of a guest book!

So I just finished creating this, I added a line telling the guests to where to put these when they're filled out, i'll be making a box to match the card box to put these in. I am thinking I'll have these left on the place settings, as we're doing a buffet and there is no need for menu cards!

Luminaries

I was looking on the internet yesterday and saw luminaries that I thought could be a nice touch for the entrance to our ceremony/reception as it will be dark outside.

I have decided I will be buying white lunch bags at the local grocery store and to involve my neices and nephews ask them to help me cut out snow flakes or hearts. They don't have to be perfect and they'll do the same job!

I found some of these from Orientaltrading.com, they were only $3.99/dozen,  I decided to order them and try those out, I will use only a few of these on the stairs by the entry with some LED candles inside .

Table Number Ideas

I was riding the train to work and saw a man with a DKNY tshirt on, and thought the logo was a great idea for how to print table numbers. I'm going to make my own with photos I take and print them in black and white of my own city, Boston! I think this could be a fun project and an excuse to get out of the house!

Since we both grew up in a city just north of Boston we decided to not go with Boston but to go with areas of our home town and give seat our family and friends in the 'areas' they're from. As this becomes more clear i'll post some pics!
