Another DIY, first attempt at programs and table name cards (updated with MUCH clearer pics!!)

ETA: the program is just a rough copy and will prob change a hand ful of times before final printing.

So I did a 'mock up' of one program. I like the way they look, but will be changing a few things (one is the big space on the 4th page will have either our bible readings or a poem. another change will be the stamps i used on the 2nd and last page, not crazy about how it looks, their are typos and the hole punch is too big!).





(ignore big empty space, it wont be empty)

(keep in mind I borrowed some words from other LIW brides, bc I havent sat down to write our own acknowledgments yet, but used this for the mock up)



Then I made my first attempt at my Jimmy Buffett song table name cards. I did them pretty quick and Im not sure if Im crazy about them. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I wasnt sure if it was good that I did a different arrangement with the stamps for each one or whether to do all the same (but FH says that would be boring). Im worried they are kinda boring as is.






Just thought Id share! What do you think?

Love them You did a fantastic job, the table names look awesome. Did you print the shells or are those stamped on??

TY I stamped the shells on. And I realized I forgot to buy a light blue ink thing so I used a permanent light blue marker to draw on the stamps!

Jess, did you notice that under the wedding party, you have 'Best Men' but only one name listed? Not sure if that list is final yet. Also, you have Ushers but no names.

k, so i just went to this site and downloaded the Wedding Program Template (Book Fold) in word. it is actually 8 X 11 bc I couldnt be bothered. For DIY stuff Ive spent way too much time cutting paper! Why dont you try a trifold or something?

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our hearts


not sure if this will be the poem we end up using, but i thought it was nice.

Have I mentioned how fantastic you are??? Seriously....LOVE it all!!! You are the DIYer queen these days!

I'm stealing that note on the bottom of your programs ' Did you catch something we didn't...' part....EXCELLENT idea!!
