I already made one ‘hanger cover’ for my dress, but in the meantime I had come across this board post by MrsPaetz, and got motivated to make cute initialed hangers for all the ladies (aka the Glossy Gals). I figured making them for the boys would be a waste of time, because lets face it, I’m going to be happy if they remember to bring their pants.
So, when I went to pick up my dress (she is now back in my possession!) and realized I was already more than halfway to IKEA, I figured I’d just pop over and grab some white hangers. If you have ever been to IKEA, you know how long it can take to make it through that store – even if you have just one item you are planning on getting :). Minutes after my decision was made, as if on cue, I got a text:I can spend HOURS (days if they would let me) in that place and spend way too much $$, all too common knowledge for Mr. Gloss.
So, I snatched up some napkins/candles/votives/ and a variety of other things I in no way needed, and, oh yeah—the hangers I went to buy :).
I printed out some snazzy initials to transfer onto the hangers and then used a super old school method to transfer the letters onto the hangers.
What great tutorials/ideas have you found on the boards?

They look great! The Glossy Gals will love this little detail, I’m sure. 
They look awesome! I was going to do the same and bought some brown wooden hangers - but I like the white ones better!
To jazz it up some more - you should tie a bow on top of it!
Great job!
I love this idea! Then I realized — I have 3 K’s and 2 M’s … I dont think that will work!
What a wonderful idea that will always be remembered. You can also use initial stickers if pressed for time and add a personalized ribbon to add more panache.
Those look great! I want all the clothes in my closet on one!
@HumarockBride: Maybe use some different fonts based on the personality of the girl? The font I used happened to have two different M’s so I used them both!
@Lynne Hart: I thought about using the rub-on stickers, Martha has some great ones at Michaels - but honestly this project probably took less than 20 minutes! It was super fast and easy!
lol Mr. Gloss is so adorable! I’m the same way when it comes to shopping but for me it is Hobby Lobby & Michaels. You can usually find me sprawled out on their aisles putting some kind of contraption together =)
And the hangers are super cute! I will have to do that for my BMs as well. Thanks for the post!
What a great idea! I COMPLETELY forgot about bringing a nice hanger, so the pictures of my dress are on a white plastic one. 
Won’t be framing those!
I really, really wish I had thought of a nice hanger as well! Grr. Yours looks great!
no joke - my fiance DID forget his pants when we went to a wedding once!
These hangers are really cute, I’ll be thiefing this idea as well!
That font is beautiful! Can you tell us what it’s called?
I love this idea!!! The hangers weren’t even a consideration for me.. until now! Thanks
ohhh another DIY to add to the list…Where did you print the letters from?
Such a good idea!! I would love to do something like this
I saw these hangers at Ikea this weekend and I thought I’ll just come back for them. LOL. I love how they turned out. Great job.
I’m really tempted to add this to the DIY list as well, very cute!
lol, i’m the same way about ikea. what makes it worse is because of that, i try to limit my visits. but since i rarely go, i apparently need to spend as much time as possible there because who knows when the next time i’ll be there. what a vicious cycle
Ooh, I love this idea. Sad I never got my act together to do this.
Love it! So easy, and so awesome! …and you got some Ikea shopping in too, which is my favorite.
Love these!
Ikea is for sure my biggest time suck but its just so wonderful! I can’t ever leave!
Love this. What a great idea, this way the girls will know who’s dress is whose without even checking the size. - I just need to so a different color for the two K’s. Or maybe a bow like Lara Bee suggested, each with their own color.
Those are so cute! I bought a fancy hanger for my dress and left it at the church..boo!
Um, the best part of this post is the texting between you and Mr. Gloss. Hilarious! (Oh, and the hangers are cute too
Wow, these are cute!
Hi Miss Gloss, glad you liked these!
We just got married on 4th of July, and guess what???
I FORGOT to take this hanger with me to the hotel!!
Thankfully, my husband is a professional photographer as well, so I got my Mom to bring the hanger later, and he did The Dress pictures instead, because our hired photog would’ve gotten pictures with a ugly black hanger!
I love these! My BMs just might get some of these in their BMs gifts, just so they can hang their dresses and we can get some great looking pics!
Gorgeous–you’ll get some great pics, & they’re reusable!

About Me: I don't like nickels or the skin that forms on pudding when it's in the fridge for too long. I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
