Not everyone jumps on the DIY crazy-train for weddings, but there's always something that is DIY, some people do invitations, some do escort cards. Some people do their guest books, or their table numbers. Some people are insane ambitious and do everything.

So what are your DIYs July 2011'ers?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? No? Okay I guess I will start.

Last week I knocked our thumbprint tree, direction signs, table numbers and a few buffet signs off the 'to-diy' list

@emskins:

Thanks! It took awhile to get the sketch to come out how I wanted, the hardest part was trying not to smudge the ink!

I think that you incrporated the symbol from the canton is pretty cool!

@jenniferstuart:

thanks :) I just finally found the motivation to finish a handful of half-done stuff, good luck with your projects!

we wanted to try and have little 'nods' to places we have lived/are living. So we included the symbol of the canton we are in by using the tissue, we are also having amazing local swiss chocolate as the favour and the cocktail in the cocktail hour is G and T as we used to live in the UK too. Trying to think of other ways to include something English in the day.....as I lived there for 16 years....and our nod to canada is some hockey references as we are mad hockey fans....there will be some DIY invloved in that which I will post once they are done

For starters...

I have a lot more to do, to make this (on the right):

Let's see those DIYs! : wedding diy july 2011 paper ribbon tissue rhinestone bedazzling table numbers craft signs pinwheels programs Paper Initials Ritzybee

JoAnn fabric has some sweet big paper mache initials I'm going to buy, one with my initial, one with his, and hang on the long wall of our venue with gray ribbon. You can't hang much in there, but they're having a picture rail installed in time for our wedding.

Only some of my flowers are going to have buttons in the middle, mostly the ones overlapping on the tops.If I get super crazy I may make garland to hang from the back deck... but probably not ;) I'll keep ya posted!

@ijustrockout:

I diy'd our invites too, & am doing a lot of stuff myself partially because I'm insane ;)

eta: I whipped up some pinwheels using these instructions, and it was way easier then I thought it would be. Let's see those DIYs! : wedding diy july 2011 paper ribbon tissue rhinestone bedazzling table numbers craft signs pinwheels programs Pinwheels

I opted to re-use 'green' (live/new growth) branches limbed-up from trees in our yard instead of buying dowels and they still turned out great for our rustic vibe.

I admit I am completely shameless and basically just flooding this thread haha.

I promise I will stop ..when the wedding is closer :P

here are 3 of the tissue poms I made fluffed and hung in natural light (had to be sure I liked them before I made more). The rest are folded for transport :)

Did anyone make their own program for the ceremony? I was thinking of making fan programs, but I was wondering what kind of paper to use.

@carriejuly: I did. I used 80# and 60# glued together. They're pretty sturdy.

@BoiledPNut:

I used scrap booking card stock, 80lbs. anything lighter just tore. The ones in the photo are.. double sided K&Company and Amy Butler prints. Sorry it took me so long to respond I've been crazy busy!

@emskins:

thanks :)

@plantains:

thanks! those were the first ones I made and they look a little lopsided to me but hey, no one is going to be paying as much attention to this stuff as me :)

they are actually relatively easy and not too time consuming if you aren't fluffing them all up at the same time.
