Getaway Decor

Remember our getaway boat? Well, seeing as how I am not one to let an opportunity to decorate pass me by, I wanted a “Just Married” sign to hang off the back of the boat. When I saw the idea to use these letters in Modern Bride, I knew they would fit the bill - cute, made of wallpaper so slightly waterproof, and soft so they won’t scratch the boat:
It’s $2.95 per letter but I also had a coupon, so this weekend we went and bought all the components to make the sign for under $30. Here is a very bad picture of the letters, rather pathetically laid out on our unmade bed (Mama Sundae, avert your eyes):
I promise to share a better version when they’re actually strung on the ribbon, but I am so excited about them!
Are you using a “Just Married” sign to hang on some sort of getaway mobile?

great idea! my cousin is getting married in nov she would love this she is going to the rehersal dinner in a boat!
Very, very cute! The different patterns are to die for… I love how many things you can do with letters - this struck my fancy on the Southern Weddings blog: http://www.swsmag.net/blog/2008/7/25/mega-post-details-link-love-etc.html
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y! How cute is that! I don’t know how much my fiance would appreciate that though 
Very clever! That’s a great idea, and must have looked amazing! You’ll have to post photos of the big day!
Those are adorable!
Our getaway car was a tiny afterthought - we didn’t even arrange anything, so our groomsmen took it upon themselves to decorate on of their cars (a rental, no less) with whipped cream… Yeah, that doesn’t look so good after a couple of minutes! But it was super funny, because it said things like “Boom boom room” and whatnot.
We are getting married at a country club , and so we are decorating a Golf Cart! I LOVED the F-I-N-A-L-L-Y !
So cute! i can’t even take it! We didn’t have any car decorations because our reception venue was attached to the hotel where our honeymoon suite was located. My sister-in-law did sneak away to scatter rose petals in our room for us, and she even had the caterers leave a couple of pieces of cake on the table!

About Me: It’s hard to believe that by the time Mr. Sundae and I get married we will have been together for almost ten years. When we first met in college we split dollar pitchers and now we share the mortgage payments. Despite our love for the city we are looking forward to tying the knot in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
What an adorable idea!
