- centerpieces
-bouquets
-unity sand - shadow box with our picture
- sign in board
- thank you cards
- card box
- favors
- table numbers (maybe)
- MY SHOES!!!!!!!!! <- already started and im in love!
- my second ring bearers wagon
- ring pillow

when i look at the list like that i do look crazy! hahaha

i used to have invites on the list but my uncle said he is doing them for me

Mostly everything for the E-party
Invites
Menus
Programs,
Guestbook
Memory table stuff
Seating Chart
Table names
Centerpieces
OOT baskets
guestbook sign
a couple other vintage signs
Doing my own photo montages
Doing my own wedding albums (saved a lot of money on this one)
Some bridesmaids stuff (haven't decided yet)
Vintage mason jar lanters for outside the RH at night
Making something to throw after we're married or ribbon wands...

the list goes on! I'm crafty and I really enjoy it

I am doing:

table numbers
place cards
cards for donation

candy bar
programs
door hangers for hotel rooms for OOT

I think that is it

Maybe programs

I can't take credit for all of this list, FH is doing a lot of it:

-Photobooth (probably renting it out to other brides afterwards)
-Ketubbah
-Chuppah
-Save the Dates (done!)
-Invitations
-Programs
-Menus
-Maps
-Reply cards
-OOT bags
-Website
-Place 'cards' and tablescape (don't ask)
-FH's steampunk boutonniere
-Aisle runner
- Initial monogram (carnations) to be hung over entrace to ceremony
- Photo backdrop thing for pics (I don't know what they are called but its basically plywood covered in fabric/wallpaper with cut out holes that are framed off, people stand behind the holes and take a pic?)
there is probably more but I think I'm having heart palputations so I have to stop right now.

I think we are making

-tear packages
-vintagey signs
-lighting (painted lanterns)
-OOT bags
-paper garland
-centerpieces
-guest book


I will have some help from my MOH who is an artist and graphic designer. I was also toying with the idea of making this oragami bouquet I saw in Real SImple..we will see. I thought it was an awesome idea and everyone I talk to is like ?????

two things:
1) what is a tear package?
2) I think the origami bouquet is an awesome idea! You will have it forever, and you made it which will give it so much more meaning! If I have learned one thing from planning a 'different' wedding, its not to listen to other people, or you will end up with a boring vanilla wedding, instead of the cool one you seem to be going for! Please make it!

Awe, thanks Lindsey! Thanks for that :) You are right, I am going to go for it! A tear package is like the bottom right hand corner image...this girl did vintage handkerchiefs in colorful envelopes, for all the criers at the ceremony. I thought it was a sweet idea!

I'm not very crafty so I don't plan on doing much more than OOT bags!

But these are things I would love to attempt to do:
Invites
Menus
Programs
Items for memory table
table numbers
seating chart
OOT bags
edible favors (a big maybe)
I spy photo cards
photo sharing cards
favor bags
'love notes' bird cage
card bird cage
assorted signs
bathroom baskets
flip flop baskets
pashmina basket (maybe)

Looking at that list, gets me very excited!!!
