This has been quite the busy week! Mr. Yorkie and I had our last money management session with the financial planner. That has been one of the best investments of our planning time, and I would highly recommend it to any couple getting married. Tomorrow after my morning run, I’ll head home to (hopefully) wrap up a handful of DIY works in progress: the drink menu, aisle runner, seating card tree, and lacy luminarias.
Here are a couple of photos of the drink menu that I’ve been working on. (The shadow box and decorative paper are from Martha’s collection at Michaels, of course!)
I’m not quite happy with the layout and spacing of things just yet. I also plan on adding a little extra dimension by placing pop dots between the menu and background.
What do you think?
Love them!! I bought that same MS paper (and almost bought the shadow box as well!!).
Great job!
LOVE the first one!!! 
Oh yum! I spy a mojito on your drink list! 
What are “pop dots”? Might they make it a bit too busy-looking?
@Miss Bruschetta: I believe they would go behind the drink menu to ‘pop’ it off the background to make it a little more 3-dimensional. You wouldn’t see them -
I love that it’s in a shadow box, I never would have thought of doing that. I think with the pop dots, it will look great!
I love the print of the background. It is both soft and detailed.
Oh I love these! We just “made” our silhouettes the other day!
Lovely! What is the name of the font you used for “Drinks Menu”?
Very nice! I love that Martha Stewart paper. I was going to buy some, but couldn’t figure out where I would use it.
Thanks, ladies! The font is called Burgues Script. Martha has the best stuff, huh?! :o)
Oh, I love this idea! The paper, the silhouettes, the shadow box is just lovely.
Very pretty, will everyone get one or just scattered on the cocktail tables?
You know I think the pop dots will really push this thing to another level. I have been loving this since I saw it on your blog. hehe What a neat piece!
Also… your font choice is exquisite! I love it.
I am sure to do something similar for signs around my reception.
How do you plan on displaying this? Does it stand up on its own or do you have another way?
I think it looks wonderful! Very classy and chic. Love the silhouettes!
Lucky for me this stands on its own! I might set it on an easel, though, for a little added stability. It will be on the bar surrounded by a few candles and a small vase with flowers.
wow this looks awesome yorkie!! i love the idea of adding dimension with the dots, i think that will bring a lot to the finished product.
i hadn’t even thought of making a drink list…yay!
I’m getting increasingly jealous of your awesome DIY skills. I’m the craftiest of my friends but nothing compares to the crafty Bees on this site!
Oh Martha, if I hadn’t already spent half my bonus on you and Spanx.. oops!
