It only took a few extra minutes, and it was just a small personal touch that I thought would be a little treat for ourselves. Consider this an addendum to my post last week about our place cards… I forgot to mention the place cards I created for Mr. D and myself! During all the planning, I found that in the craziness of crafting all these perfect details for your guests - the programs, the place cards, the favors, etc. - it was nice to spend a couple extra minutes on a little something for ourselves. Just a sweet, simple, and special souvenir, that now sits displayed on our mantle with our toasting glasses
.
I have to admit it was pretty trippy to see my new last name (on public display, no less) for the first time! It felt a little weird in the crafting process… but on our wedding day, as I sat down at our sweetheart table and looked over at my place card, it just felt pretty cool in a quiet kind of way.
Like, wow, we really are married now.

Well, I guess blocking out my last name kind of defeats the purpose of this post
, but trust me, it felt pretty cool. Perhaps slightly bittersweet that I gave up my maiden name, but bittersweet in a joyful way nonetheless. ![]()
Let me go on a tangent for a second to satisfy your DIY cravings. I crafted them in the same way as I did our guest placecards, except a little bigger (1.75″x4.75″), without the jewel, and with more paper flowers. To be honest, I only did it that way because I ran out of the little jewels, so I thought I’d compensate by adding more blooms.
Here’s the one I crafted for Mr. D too…

Any little personal touches you are adding to your wedding, for no one else other than the two of you? ![]()
