DIY Wedding Mixed CD Favors

My husband and I were recently married (9.26.09) and my favorite wedding craft we made were our wedding CDs.  About a month into our relationship, Ben gave me a mixed cd of songs he thought I would like from bands that he loved.  It was his cute way of letting me into his world, one song at a time.  Ben still gives me mixed CDs for random occasions and I love everyone of them.  Because of these CDs I now listen to way better bands.

I thought it would be perfect to make a mixed CD to give out as favors for our guests.  Our friend and graphic designer Kirby Doss, designed a rubber stamp and we had it made by the Etsy store Terbear.

Next I ordered recycled CD sleeves from ReBinder.  Then we had fun stamping each one.  The final step was to have the inserts printed with the song titles on them.  This was completed by my Maid of Honor, Nikki, the day before our wedding.
