Mrs. Joey, Seattle Age and Occupation: 28, Project Administrator for Public Health NGO Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, High School History Teacher Engagement Date: June 24, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2009 Venue: Eastside Catholic Chapel and Lake Union Cafe About Me: I'm a Seattle girl through and through except for the fact that I don't drink coffee. I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!

And We’re Done…

July 21st, 2009 @ 1:34 pm by Mrs. Joey

… with the programs!

And We're Done... :  wedding diy programs Home00

the front

the inside

the back

We used double stick tape to put the invites together and rounded the corners to give them a more finished look. To make it more personal, we each signed the back of every single program.

How did you give yorur programs that personal touch?

Very nice! I too like the hand signed look. Shows you took time for that small detail :) I think what I like most is the accordian style with the front and back extra covers. Looks great! It just give that folded paper look a little polish :)

Love that you signed them all. =) So sweet — your guests probably loved it!

Those programs are really pretty — I love the vertical text and the rounded corners just MAKE them. =)

Oh, WOW!!! these are awesome. If you dont mind me asking, roughly how much did each one end up costing and how long did it take you guys to put together each one. I need to make around 350 and want to make sure I have enough time before I start this.

Great Job!

@Aparna: So this sounds crazy, but the cost us about $0.13 to make. All the paper was leftover from other project and all I bought was a edge rounder ($6) and double stick tape ($5). We made about 80 of them. I’d say if we had to buy paper for this project, they’d come out to about $0.35 each. But I’m basing that on the type of paper I used.

Awesome! What kind of paper (size, weight, etc.) did you use for the insides and covers? Also, can you give more insight into what you wrote in the “Blessing” sections? I’m sure many Catholic brides would love to see your modern layout for this traditional information!

Our invites and favors were custom for each guest, but the program was the only generic thing! heh!
