Questions to DIY brides out there, how do you make the ribbon stay on the candles? I’m making our unity candles, but I the ribbon keeps falling off! What are you using?

Hey ladies! The seating charts were done in PowerPoint, and I printed them on 11×17 paper at Kinkos, by emailing them the file and the fonts I used. It came out to $0.57 for three seating charts, and then we just bought pretty frames for them.

As for the candles — I used tacky craft glue to keep our ribbon on. I think the brand was Alene’s. Lots of other DIY brides use pearl-headed pins along the seam of the ribbon in the back to keep it attached to the candles.

Christina - where did you get the LOVE charms for your favors? Love ‘em!

The LOVE charms were $0.20 each, from http://www.acharmingplace.com. The one problem with them was that the hole in the charms was too small for our ribbon to go through, so I ended up getting jump rings (like teeny keychain rings) to attach to each charm. I’m just anal like that. :)

Hi Christina,

Could you tell me how you did your Out of town notes?

I did our out of town notes in MS Word — I set the pages to “landscape” instead of “portrait,” zoomed out to the “two pages” view, and then eyeballed four textboxes of graduated height, two textboxes per page. Then after I finished designing the textboxes (using the three fonts I used on all our wedding projects), and printing them off, I used a standard office paper cutter to cut them all to size. I then stacked the layers, on top of lavender cardstock which I had cut to size, punched two holes in the top, and tied the ribbon.
