One thing I’ve wanted almost since I started planning, is t-shirts for the members of the wedding party. Unfortunately, Mr. Blueberry and his BM Chris weren’t that wild about the idea, so it looked like it had to be a girls-only thing.

For $3.99 apiece, I picked these up at Joann’s:

Then yesterday I went to Old Navy and got these tanks. For the flower girls (the striped one is the closest thing to matching that I could find for our youngest; she’s only a year old!):

For my MOH Katie:

And for me (I showed this to my parents, and they both said “a wife beater?!?!”):

The iron-ons had directions on the packages that I won’t bother to copy on here, but suffice to say that they were pretty adequate. The only issue I had stemmed from the ribbing on the tanks; if I were to do this project over again I’d probably get shirts without ribbing–it made the tiny jewels hard to stick on, in places).

Here you can see me peeling off the top layer:

I found that it’s easier to peel off the stuff from top to bottom, instead of from left to right. Not sure why that helps, but it does.

After about 45 minutes of work (it took longer to get each decal set up and centered than it did to actually iron it on), I was finished!

Close-up of mine (I love the blue on the “i”):

If you can work an iron, you can do this DIY. I thought it was really easy, and saved me a lot of money! Each shirt was about $10; compare that to $20.
