Wedding Invitations

I finished my wedding invitations and RSVP cards last night! Woo Hoo now I just have to address them and do the wax stamp to close them and mail them out!!! I blurred out important info on the invite.

Bridal Shower Stuff

Advice board... this is to pin all the marriage advice cards that people write to me. We made it from a canvas, painted it black and decorated it. We used the ribbon to hold the pins.

UPDATE: This was my favorite part at my bridal shower, seeing everyones advice posted on it. And everyone loved it and looking at all the advice others gave. I think we are gonna use it for the bachelorette party too but for FUN advice!;)

Bride Canvas

Bride canvas... This is a small canvas we made to hang on the wall for decoration. They were out of groom wording at the craft store, so once we find one we will make a Groom canvas but in green instead of pink.

Mr & Mrs Canvas

This is another smaller canvas we made for decoration!

Cupcake Tree

I made this for the wedding to take in our luggage but might decided just to use it for the bridal shower. Not sure if it will make it down to Vegas in one piece!

Baskets

My sister went to Goodwill and found cheap baskets about 59 cents a piece and then we bought ribbon, flowers and paint to decorate them. These will be used for favors, Thank you cards and havent decided on the last. But I think they turned out sooo good for only costing a couple dollars each!

Basket & Pen Holder

We originally made this basket to put the advice cards in but after we made it we came up with the idea of the advice board... So not sure what we are gonna do with the basket. However the smaller can we made for a pen holder, we made it out of a soup can, scrap booking paper, ribbon and jewels!

Serving Dishes

My sister also went to Goodwill to find serving platters and we are painting them all black, green and pink to coordinate colors. These will be on black tablecloths and I think it will look amazing!

Bride Tank

This is the front of my t-shirt. I got the printable fabric transfers for all my shirts and made the designs myself.

Bridesmaid Tank

All my bridesmaids shirts!

Back of all wedding shirts

The backs to all the shirts for the wedding... "Lucky in Love" the theme of the wedding

Garter

I bought a really basic cheap white garter and took some black ribbon I used for other wedding decor and made a bow and took an antique charm bracelet and took the green jewel charm off of it and used it as my "something old." I did some white stitching on the black bow and made it into a custom garter!

Personalized tote bags

I made myself and my bridesmaids a personalized tote bag to take with us to Vegas so they can pack all their stuff around while getting ready. I used their initial of their first names, not anything to do with the wedding so they can use them after the wedding is over too!

Reception Wood Signs

These will be spread out through our reception as decor and to let people know where everything is. The painting is done now I just have to figure out a way to age the wood!!!! Gonna have to get rid of the 7.16.2011 sign since we pushed the date up.

Personalized Hangers

Oh I almost ripped my hair out making these, you definatley have to be in a patient mood. But I only spent $12 total for making 8 of them!!! I highly recommend these for a cheap gift for your bm's! And my dress will look really good hanging on this before the wedding!
I got the hangers at Target and 14 gauge wire at Walmart
