Mrs. Cola, Mountain View, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Product Communications and Promotions Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Managing Partner and Senior Designer Engagement Date: March 5, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: The Mountain Terrace, Woodside, CA About Me: I’m a Washington State native, enjoying life in Silicon Valley California with my fiancé, our three kitties and one leopard gecko. I like reading wedding blogs, Photoshopping wedding design mock ups, making lists, and planning, planning, planning! I’m a bit of an anomaly, on one side I’m a very girlie girl, I collect shoes, I lay out my outfits 4-6 weeks in advance, and I’d never leave the house without my hair curled and makeup on. But on the other side, I’m a total tomboy, I love to go camping and hiking, play drinking games (hey, I’m Irish!) and most of my closest friends are guys. My fiancé and I are planning a DIY-focused wedding with a balance between easygoing (what he wants) and chic and stylish (what I want), and are tying it all together with elements in lavender, sage, butter cream and chocolate.

Where’s the Restroom?

Where's the Restroom? :  wedding decor mountain view reception Funny P02  {Source}

This is one question I don’t want our guests to have to ask at our wedding reception! But, of course, they really won’t have to; the restrooms are located inside, past the bar and dancing area, but before you get to the fauxtobooth area. However, the existing signs on the doors are kind of blah, along the lines of these:

So, enter yet another opportunity for fun signs with our paper, as well as an opportunity to tie the bathrooms in with our color scheme! These new restroom signs will be attached to the current signs with removable double sided tape, for a nice, cohesive look with the rest of our venue decor.

They were very easy to do; I simply printed the designs on the cream card stock, trimmed them down, and rounded all the corners.

I was going to stop there, but then decided it needed a little something more, so I took layered ribbon and glued it under the top layer of paper.

An unnecessary project? Probably! But these were really quick and easy, and combined with the bathroom baskets, do a nice job of tying the restrooms in together with all the other areas in our venue.

Have you done anything to decorate the restrooms at your venue?

that’s cute. the toilets at our venue were, unfortunately, also visited by members of the public even though we had booked the entire restaurant (they were outside of the restaurant property), and sadly, some random people were grabbing stuff out of our bathroom baskets! EEEEK!
