Wedding Blog

I tried my hardest to get most of my DIY projects out of the way months ago. I have to say, I did a pretty good job (pat on the back)! There were a few things, however, that I simply couldn’t do. Assembling the favors is one of them (still can’t do that–it’s too hot), and creating signs for various things was another.

Now that the plans are finally coming together, I know what kinds of signs I need. This weekend, a bunch of my friends came over and we all worked on crafts together. My main objective was to get some of my signs completed. I am happy to say that I finished two large sandwich boards for our ceremony:

And the sign for the props basket (I am in love with this sign, and I can’t really explain why:

I also completed some signs for the back of our chairs, but I didn’t take any pictures (they’re kind of boring, but I’m sure you’ll see pictures after the wedding!). Next on the list for signage? I need to make two more small sandwich boards for our tables, a small one for our “good-bye” table, and one slightly larger one for our guestbook table. The last time I posted about sandwich boards, some of you asked how I did them. Now, months later, I am finally going to get around to showing you! I’ll be on BeeTV tonight at 7pm, California time.

Here’s a couple of more pictures of our craft-a-thon, taken by my lovely friend Li (I had no idea she was such a talented photographer! Color me impressed!):

Amanda learned how to use a paper cutter!
