Vintage Stamps
Filed under: Being Green, DIY, Things that make me happy, Wedding
I love the pretty vintage stamps we used on our wedding invitation envelopes so much. The envelopes we used for our wedding invitations were 100% recycled paper from Action Envelope. We used vintage stamps that I purchased on Ebay, for the invitations we sent to the wedding party, close friends and family. For all of the other guests, we used the new love stamps which were perfect. Since hiring a calligrapher didn't really fit into our budget and I had no intention of writing addresses on all of our invitations since my husband invited half of Starkville, we decided on using...
Our DIY Wedding Invitations
Filed under: Being Green, DIY, Things that make me happy, Wedding
I knew that I didn't want my wedding invitations to be boring or traditional and I wanted them to be as DIY as possible. I began to get discouraged since all of the invitations I liked didn't at all fit into my budget, but then our friend and graphic designer, Kirby Doss saved the day. He took my handwriting and ideas and made our invitations oh so lovely. With our wedding invitations we sent a RSVP postcard (which used less paper than a traditional RSVP card with an envelope) and a map to the Plymouth Bluff Environmental Center which...

DIY Wedding Prom Pictures
I am not a fan of those "i need so much attention" brides or those "this has nothing to do with the couple" weddings. I wanted our wedding to be so much fun for everyone involved and for our wedding to truly reflect us as a couple. I have been to quite a few boring weddings with no activities for those of us who prefer not to dance, so when I saw this DIY Photo booth template over at Martha Stewart Weddings I knew we had to make it. The best part about this idea is...
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...
