SHHHHH!…Do Not Disturb

September 3rd, 2010 @ 11:11 am by Mrs. Elephant

Part of our venue package includes the use of a suite for my bridal party to become even hotter, and another room for the guys to get ready in. I got the idea online to make some cute suite signs to hang from our respective rooms on the big day.

This was a very simple and quick DIY project. All it required was:

  • A couple sheets of scrapbook paper (the same that we are using for all signs at the reception)
  • Some ribbon (which I had left over from the invite mock-ups and pomanders)
  • Glue/adhesive
  • Crystals (which I had left over from decorating our wooden signs)

I love being able to use materials that I already have! I printed out the signs on white card stock (in the font used on our invitations) and then glued them to the green card stock. I glued the ribbon to the blue card stock and then attached the top two layers. I used a little super glue to add the crystals to the sign for a little extra sparkle and voilà! Simple and quick bridal suite signs.

Here are the fronts of the signs:

SHHHHH!...Do Not Disturb  :  wedding dallas diy stationery Dsc036001

And the backs:

SHHHHH!...Do Not Disturb  :  wedding dallas diy stationery Dsc0361

And them hanging:

SHHHHH!...Do Not Disturb  :  wedding dallas diy stationery Dsc036101

Will your bridal party get ready together in a room at the venue? What about your guys?

Those look great! Did you have to cut any of the paper at all? What type of glue did you use? I love them!

I think they say “Enter at your own risk”

@mc77: I did cut the paper, and I just eye balled when I cut. I just measured them and they are:
white print - 5.25″ x 7.75″
green - 6″ x 9″
blue - 7″ x 10″

I used Xyron adhesive runners to glue them together. They can be pricey (even with coupons) so I have since moved onto 3M spray adhesive for DIY projects

@kcroxyoursox: Yep, Goldilocks1107 is correct! Enter at your own risk :)

Your’s turned out great! I was silly and made my signs door knob hangers. Not a good idea to hang the sign on the door knob when people keep opening and closing the door. It got bent up really fast. Great job.

So cute! I wish I had thought to make something like this. We had a few near misses when my husband almost walked into the wrong room!

You are the cutest bee, Miss Elephant. I love your DIY projects. They are such great ideas and seemingly easy enough for a non-crafter like me to try out.

@Miss Boot Camp: LOL, trust me I wouldn’t consider myself a crafter, so I tried to stick to easy projects (or something with great instructions). I may have found the hidden crafter inside, and I’m sure everyone else can too :)

Very nice, I like the glossy ribbon. It’ll be so handy for people if they are looking for the getting ready suites!
