PICTURES of my many DIYs!! ~~ ok, done uploading

Losing 2 days in the airport made my schedule a bit more crunched, and I never really got around to posting much during my BOTW week (sorry!) or posting pictures of many of our DIYs. I did take pictures of most of them, and I'll try to add them on here. 4 per post, because I'm too lazy to bother with photobucket right now.

Enjoy! (and check back, as i'm in the middle of adding more)

Note: i used the same ivory linen paper for everything, but it looks weird in some of the pix. the favor box one is most accurate

Table #s (our e-pictures, taken by a friend, photoshopped by me -- black and white with blue accents)

(last pic is the best shot i have of them on the tables)

Card Box!

I'm a little obsessed with my card box... and some of our OOT guests thought it was a second cake! Made from cardboard boxes, brocade fabric and silk flowers.

Your card box came out so beautiful! You did a great job on everything else, too!

Bar Signs

I made signature drink signs with pictures of our kitties, named after them, in what was supposed to be blue and peach. oops, apparently a blue hawaiian isnt blue. oh well! guests really liked them (the sammy is a sex on the beach)

we also made signs to let guests know that gratuities were taken care of

Guest Book

A last minute DIY... made this 2 weeks before the wedding and finished it the day we dropped everything off at the NRC. guests signed in blue marker

Bathroom Baskets

made little poems for them, never got to see them at the wedding but hope they were helpful

Programs

Huge obsession over these, took way too much time and stress but in the end was worth it. I wrote descriptions of every aspect of the jewish wedding ceremony, did the layout and formatting myself, and while we did have them printed on linen paper we then tied all the bows on and put them together. one on every other chair in the ceremony room. people held onto them all night, and some of our grandparents even carried them back down the aisle

I dont have pictures of the inside but they are in fonts and layout to match everything else. also, they didnt look nearly that yellow - the same paper was used for everything

OOT Baskets

made a schedule of weekend events, rolled them and put them in I <3 NY mugs with some snacks and DIY water bottles in a bin and lace plastic cellophane. put a welcome poem on the top. people seemed to like them, and i drank one of the water bottles at our afterparty. we also gave leftover water bottles to the bridesmaids in the morning when we were getting ready and riding in the limo
