Wedding Blog

MVP = Most Valuable Products. Let me tell you about the 3 items that were absolutely indispensible during my months of wedding planning and DIY heaven.

Cutterpede trimmer. The white attachment is the slicer, while the pink attachment scores the paper to create perfect folds and creases. Thank goodness I borrowed this from my crafty sister-in-law, because I used this on nearly every project! Available at your neighborhood craft store, or online.

Corner Rounder. I absolutely LOVE the look of rounded corners, so this little guy was my friend (and occassionally my worst enemy). I used him on everything from invitations to menu cards, to placecards to programs… the list goes on and on. But notice the little vertical grooves on the punch area. Those grooves actually made the process rather painful on my fingers (and Mr. E’s fingers). There a zillion different types, and next time I would look for one like this.

Lastly, and most importantly, my little black book.

Yeah, I know, it looks like crap. Could I have picked a more UN-wedding-y notebook? Probably not, haha… but this book kept me sane. I have a very short term memory span. I will think, “Oh, I need to do X….” and then 2 minutes later, I will have completely forgotten about it. So everytime that happened, I immediately wrote every thought and To-DO item down in this book. I also made list after list after list. It was extremely handy when I needed to remember appointments, or to keep track of phone numbers, or came across an interesting website that I wanted to refer to later on. My advice - write it ALL down!! This seriously saved me a lot of headache and served as a back-up to my very forgetful tendencies!!

What are your MVPs?!
