Yes, I'm messing around with photoshop too (clearly I have way too much time on my hands since FH is the graphic artist!) Here's my idea for our save the date cards...

I PLAN ON MAKING MANY THNGS MYSELF BUT SO FAR I'VE ONLY COMPLETED STD MAGNETS.

LOVE EVERYONE'S IDEAS!! HOW DO YOU MAKE THE WANDS?

I don't have pics scanned in, but I made some stuff. Instead of having envelopes with a tissue for the cry packs, I individually wrapped small packs of tissues and made the 'for your tears of joy labels.' I had a print shop print and cut my programs, but I assembled everything myself. I had homemade wine charms tied onto my favors (wine stoppers.)

ETA- I also made my rose petals cones and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. I used a printed vellum, cut them into squares, rolled them into coned and then used double sided tape and ribbon to seal them. They came out gorgeous!

I made the invites and CDs (including the monogram & labels for CD and Case) Sorry I don't have a closer shot...


The 'I DO' letters were painted by the two of us...




We made the candlelit centerpiece -- all pieces were less than $30. There were 2 square mirrors as a base, pink (2 tone) silk petals, 5 different shaped glass candle stick holders (only 4 in picture, one broke in transit!) and rose sented (pink) votives. We also designed our Wish Bowl poem to look like our Ketubah...I typed a pretty poem onto the Ketubah and framed it. The pieces of paper were 3X3 squares of cardstock, in a silver heart basket (our theme was 2 interlocking silver hearts) and our wish bowl was a vase that DH gave me with my first dozen roses! We tied a ribbon around it and I found the hearts at Party City on clearance for 17 cents!

You did a great job on those Jantany!!

For my DIY stuff I made:

1. My tissue packs

2. My votive placecards

3. Our 'Thank You' sign

4. Our ceremony programs (sorry no pic)

5. Table Names

6. Menus (the pic is not exactly the final design. I ended up changing 'Dinner Menu' to our names.
