Finally have pics of my Ribbon Wands, Hoodie, Drink Menu, and more!!!

FINALLY got around to taking pics of all the little projects I've been doing the past few weeks.

Here's my day of hoodie:

And yes, that is my sock monkey slipper next to it

I LOVE the way my ribbon wand baskets came out!

Here is my 'amended' drink menu, after FH had a fit over the first one's title (the real eat, drink, and be merry saying ends with 'for tomorrow we die'):

I showed him both again, and he said he'd think about it and it wasn't too big a deal, so which do you like better?

And now my cocktail napkins...since they were ordered from two different places, the burgundies don't quite match, so I will probably have the monogram ones just for CH, and the ivory and Florentine scroll for the dinner bar.

And now...for the not so great pics LOL. Remember my effed up scratch and dent card box? Well, here's proof that mine was a little more scratched and dented than most. Do you think just a fresh coat of paint will cover it?

And just for shiz and giggles, my rubber stamped shower invites!!!

Lots of pics, I know, but I've been keeping busy with projects and there's still sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to do!!!

That's fantastic!!!

The hoodie came out PERFECT! I love the color of the text!

The ribbon wands are gorgeous! Did you make up the wording of the sign yourself?

I like the 'Raise a glass of cheer' (but you know I agreed with your FH about the phrase) -- it encourages people to cheer to you!!!

I love your shower invites -- the stamp is PERFECT! I'm impressed! Rubber stamping is not easy!

HOORAY for everything!!!!

everything looks great - how did you make the wands

The wands came in a kit, 50 plastic rods per color, and a spool of ribbon with your imprint on it. You have to cut each ribbon to size from the spool, put a little hot glue on the notched end of the wand, and tie the ribbon in a knot around it. It's a little tedious, but not too bad!

everything looks awesome!!! I like the eat drink and be married!

As for the card box.. I really dont notice the dent Looks a little scuffed but nothing terrible. But If it does bother you I think the coat of paint will do just fine! Ya have to think to lights are dimmed in the RH too so things will not be noticed as much.... that and all eyes will be on the bride and groom! Dont stress it ! Congrats on getting everything done!

I actually got them wholesale from the manufacturer through my job, but myweddingfavors.com and thefavorshop.com both have the same kinds. I would recommend thefavorshop.com more, because they sometimes have them on sale for very close to net pricing.
