Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!
About Mrs. Sand Dollar

Super Fan

July 29th, 2010 @ 10:13 am by Mrs. Sand Dollar

Soooooo… I got our programs designed! I wanted to keep the style and theme similar to our save the dates and invites. Since we’re having a laid-back ceremony, and keeping it at about 10 minutes, I decided not to include an order of events. Here’s what I came up with for the front:

I love it! It sums up our entire event. And for the back, I channeled my inner Twilighter.

Aaaah! It’s so cute. Mr. SD says he’s telling all his friends he had nothing to do with the “teams” (even though he’s seen every Twilight at the theater with me). I’m printing each on a separate page, and making fans by sandwiching a fat Popsicle stick and a piece of larger Kraft cardstock in between and tying it with raffia, like this:

And yes, I’m aware of what number these paisleys resemble. But I didn’t do her invitations, just her programs. And this motif was on the invite, so it stayed. I like it though. She just needed more mature guests than a slew of college boys.

These will be pretty close, except I’ll add the cardstock. Like this:

Pretty, yes? We also spray painted her sticks. This little lady will be in my wedding too! I have some extra paint left from my cans, so perhaps we’ll spray them. Or keep it natural. I haven’t decided.

Have you done fan programs? Do you have any tips or tricks to successfully execute them?

Super cute!! (even though I’m team Edward :p)

I literally started putting together my fan programs last night. The double stick tape just doesn’t seem to be doing the job. Any advice on how to get them to stick better? I also tried glue dots but they don’t really lay flat.

I love it! Even as a non-twilight fan (…please don’t hate me…), I think the “team _____” is an awesome way to introduce the wedding party!

I think these are a great idea! Especially for an outdoor ceremony.

Love your design. Our ceremony is indoors, so if we end up doing a program, it won’t be a fan. But I love the idea of doing that with an outdoor ceremony. Duel purpose!
