Another DIY project brought to you by my Gocco: our menus!
I wanted to keep them simple and informational, as we are offering a very selective bar menu. I used Laurell and Futura fonts, and also used the same paper by Art. Co from Xpedx that I have been using for our stationery needs.
I made sixteen menus: 2 for each table and 1 for each high-top in the bar/cocktail room.
Mr. Cookie has been a good sport about my DIY blitz, but is about ready to kill me because the Gocco has overtaken our kitchen table for two weeks now! Oops. 
I promised him after the programs were done, he could have his kitchen table back.
Are wedding DIY projects overtaking your house?

Very cute, but usually it’s “Be Married!”

I definitely agree with emilyinparis. Since ‘marry’ is a verb, this looks more like a grammar mistake than a pun. I’d go with “be married” as well. Very pretty, though!
I think it’s easy enough to figure out that this is a pun and not a grammatical error. Besides, Miss Cookie is already finished making 16 of these! Very cute!
I agree with Lise. I think it’s easy enough to figure out that it’s a pun. Maybe if I didn’t see it at a wedding I would think it was a grammatical error, and besides you see ‘be married’ everywhere this is something different and it works.
i am loving the fonts you used! nice job. 
I think that it could be a pun for “merry” like being happy. So, “marry” is appropriate. I agree with others that “be married” would be better, but it’s ok, Miss Cookie, be “marry” is fine too!
I think these are really cute. Good job!
I know it is traditionally “be married”, but I personally have a reaction to that form as well. It’s like it is ordering everyone to get married–which I find strange. I think I prefer it this way. It’s just a reference to the day. And they are so well done!!!
Elizabeth, I totally agree with you… I like the “be marry” much better. “Be married” sounds like a command rather than a joyous declaration. Anyways, the design rocks. The fonts are awesome! Very similar to what we are doing on our invites.
i like the be marry and I’m sure no one will be confused. it’s very cute. bravo!
Wow! I didn’t know our menus would elicit such a grammatical debate.
I like “be marry.” It’s softer and doesn’t sound like a command, but to each their own!
i’m with you cookie. they are adorable! can you make 20 for me too? hehe just kidding
@Miss Pineapple: Actually, I still have the Gocco screen in my fridge. How many do you need?

About Me: With a degree in Theatre I never realized that planning a wedding was a lot like Theatre Management, until I started planning my own. I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.
