DIY | Paper Stuff
 |
Vector Graphics All paper stuff included a logo that I designed, representing the dragon and phoenix tails. |
 |
Bridal Party Newsletters We sent out newletters to the Bridal Party throughout the planning process. |
 |
Save-the-dates To match the VIP party theme, I made VIP magnetic lanyards that came in a card as save-the-dates for our guests. |
 |
Invitations I ordered the custom scroll with the DIY logo and put everything else we made together. |
 |
Pocketfolds It was much more cost effective to make chocolate pocketfolds instead of buying them. I designed a template and started cutting, folding, and gluing away! |
 |
Enclosures I used the logo design I DIYed above to flourish the left side of the enclosure cards which were all printed, cut, and punched at home. |
 |
Wrap-around Address Labels Since the invitations had to be sent in boxes, it was ideal to make address labels with the DIY logo and have them wrap around the front of the box. |
 |
Assembly of DIY Invitations Now that everything has been DIYed, the invitations were assembled with tissue, ribbon, and the steps are here. |
 |
Rehearsal Invitations Invitations for the rehearsal party were designed to match all other stationary with the DIY logo. |
 |
Timeline The super-popular timeline that I made to help the guys and girls plan out their day. Since posting this timeline, it has been featured on theknot.com! |
 |
Scrapbook Guestbook I turned a plain-jane scrapbook into our wedding guestbook with some simple fabric and brooch additions. |
 |
Pages and Pockets Inside the DIY wedding guestbook, some pages were transformed to include pockets and pictures. These pockets allowed the guests to submit a private message to the bride and groom. |
 |
Guestbook Insert Cards Guests have to leave their messages somewhere. I DIYed little cards for the guestbook. |
 |
Boxes to hold insert cards The guestbook cards had to go somewhere… |
 |
Escort card envelopes and cards Instead of making plain escort cards, I designed a little envelope that allowed table numbers to be inserted inside. This made it easy to later re-arrange the seating AND it allowed me to start working on these WELL before the RSVP list was complete. |
 |
Menu cards DIY menu cards that were slipped into a custom-folded napkin. Each guest got details to the six courses that they were about to eat. |
 |
Thank You program The thank you message was designed on the back of the menu card above. |
 |
Table Map Poster Sometimes, simplicity wins. This was not an element that I wanted people to pay attention to, so it was made to be very simple. |
 |
Table Numbers Give the guests something to talk about. I made each table a different picture of an adventure we had together: snorkeling, snowboarding, camping, etc. |
 |
Thank You Sign Since the bridal party is wearing all different colors, I made the thank you sign simple out of foam posterboard and paint. |
 |
Thank You Card Make your own thank you cards via vistaprint. It’s fast and easy. |
 |
Thank You Wrap Around Labels Easy-to-use Word templates for wrap-around thank you labels. |
 |
Photoshare Cards I’m inserting one of these into each of our thank yous so that guests can check out our professional pictures, download from other guests, and share theirs! |
