HI I'm a fall bride too & have been compiling several ideas since I started planning! I Loved Jen's placecards! I used those same leaves for our bookmark favors for the wedding. Here are a few of them hope the pic comes out if not I'll try again when I get home:

This site was working the other day when I posted all those other links - but this one has some really cute stuff - just don't wait til the last minute - they didn't accept any orders in Sept - Nov (I think) last year - they got really busy! Of course I waited til the last minute - so I can't tell you about their service.

Re: Fall theme

Thanks for the credit Jen! You were a pleasure to help, so glad I could. These were my place cards.

This was our table numbers that matched the place cards. You can also see my favors in the gold bag was a fall leaf tissue paper decoupaged on votives with a apple spice yankee candle.

And our envelope holder that was a birdcage that my aunt decorated for me!

Re: Fall theme

Everything looks great... I like the bookmarks too... where did you get the leaves? From the same template as the placecards?? Thanks for all the help!

Re: Fall theme

I downloaded the leaves from a website but I have them saved on my computer. If you want them, I can e-mail you a zipped file of them.

Re: Fall theme

Hi Maysie 18,

Love your bookmarks! Can you tell me where you bought them? I would like to make them myself but if I can't I am probably going to order them from Rexcarft.

Thanks!

Re: Fall theme

Hi SOBE2003 - yes you can make them!! It is ridiculously easy! I can even send you the template & you can just type over w/your info/change the colors if you like.

Altho you don't have to do it this way cuz the paper costs more $$ - I bought heavy cardstock from Kinkos, printed four bookmarks to a page. I know peeps who just used regular copy paper to make them.

Cut them w/a big paper cutter at work, glued the dried leaves (from Michaels craft store) to the top & MOH laminated them for me.

TRUST ME you can make them yourself! For a whole lot cheaper & more personalized than Rexcraft (I was also going to order them from there!!) If you need ANY help feel free to FM me! :)

Re: Fall theme

My sister bought huge pumpkins and places them in the entrance hallway & throughout the cocktail room. It looked so pretty.

Re: Fall theme

Hi Maysie 18,

Thanks so much. Sorry for the delay...don't have a PC at home so I try and log on at work every few days. Been very busy lately as we all are!

I will forum mail you my work email so that you can send me your template. I am also working on my wedding program (bought paper at Staple's) and so far not bad. Can you recommend the paper I should buy? I would like to do it like you...heavy stiock like an actual bookmark.

Thanks!

P.S. How long did it take you? Wedding day is 5/23!!!!!!! I will probably need to do about 100-125 since I will give out one per couple.
