Mrs. Husky, Denver Age and Occupation: 26, Systems Administrator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Mechanical Engineer, recently laid off Engagement Date: August 14, 2009 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: Rancho San Carlos About Me: I am planning a quirky-crafty wedding with my recently out-of-work fiancé for a (fingers crossed!) warm October afternoon. We are two self-professed nerds with an affinity for all things outdoors---be it rain, snow or shine. Recently relocated from the drizzly Northwest, we're enjoying the many sun-soaked days in the mile high city. Our day will be filled with both of our large families and friends, a self-served Cajun feast, and a Zydeco-style jazz band rocking beneath the beams of a historic red barn.

Can You Tell Me How to Get There?

Following the lead of many a bee before me, I created a PowerPoint map to send out in our invitations:

Can You Tell Me How to Get There? : wedding denver diy stationery Untitled 1 Untitled-1

I *love* how it turned out! I know, I know, I still need to show all of you the full invitation suite. But, honestly, I haven’t gotten around to a paper photo shoot yet. So for now, I’ll leave you with instructions on how to make your own:

Follow Mrs. Ballet Flat’s instructions exactly. Is that cheating?

I will tell you all that this took me a ridiculous amount of time. My hand isn’t very steady with the mouse, so tracing the lines in PowerPoint was actually very time-consuming.

When I told Mr. Husky I had spent several hours making these maps, he thought I was joking. In fact, I’m still not sure he’s quite convinced that I wasn’t…

Did you have major (albeit time-consuming) success from one of the bees’ tutorials?

It looks great! I had to hand the computer portion of my map project off to Mr. T. So it took no time at all! (haha).
