Re: DIY

Can anyone explain what some of these things are?

Crypack? What's included in that?

How do you do an aisle runner? What about the monogram?

And a slipper basket? What is that? Is it slippers for your guests?

I'm so clueless.

Thanks!

Re: DIY

I haven't heard much about the crypacks, i guess they are handkerchiefs or tissues for the guests or something haha. the slipper basket, i've heard, is a basket of cheaper flip flops you can get for your female guests. Lots of girls get those really cheap chinese slippers from queens or something and put them in a cute basket in case people's feet begin to hurt. Its a cute idea.

Re: DIY

Thinking of

Table Numbers
Invites
Save the Dates
Labels for favors
Programs
Escort Cards
Childrens table centerpiece (lollipop tree)
Aisle Runner
Card Box
Ring Pillow (if we have a RB)
Flower Girl Baskets/pomanders (if we have any)

Debating centerpieces, found some BEAUTIFUL candleabras for winter, but they are gold. If I find them in Silver, I may wait until they go on sale and get them.

Debating cry packets, my MOH wants to make the BM dresses (OH HECK NO)

May make Faux Fur muffs for my BMs (winter wedding)

Re: DIY

I love the lollipop tree idea!! I think I might steal that. You can always spray paint them to silver.
