With all of the work put into our DIY projects, I knew I wanted a way to remember them after the wedding. After reading Mrs. Seashell’s post on framing her invite, it spawned the perfect idea!
I found a shadow box at Michaels and put in some of our favorite DIY projects including our save the dates, our invite, our passport program and our boarding pass escort card. I love being able to see the collection of projects all in one spot, and thinking back on the teamwork it took to create them all for our wedding.
Since Mama E has been saving all of the DIY projects as well, I thought it would be sweet to make a version for her and Daddy E as well, which I gave to them at our rehearsal dinner.
Will you showcase any of your paper projects after the wedding?
I was totally thinking about doing this same thing! Thanks for sharing your version!
This is such a great idea E! And, wow, you did so many awesome DIY projects!
What a great idea!
I did so many DIY to save money! and I never thought of this.
Great idea…I plan to put my bouquet (a work of art of peacock feathers) in a shadow box.
Yes, definitely- the take so much work not to be shared 
I LOVE YOURS! I did something similar for a surprise party for FI a few years ago- so I am in love with any passport or boarding pass invites I see! Great work!
This just takes me back to the journey you took to get here Mrs. E. I still marvel at your DIY industriousness
um WOW. Seeing all your phenomenal DIY projects together is totally awesome. You are so talented! And over all those months of planning everything looks super cohesive! Awesome job!!
LOVE this, E. we’ll be framing up our fingerprint tree and i think the rest of the diy goodness will go in a scrapbook of some sort - still need to figure that one out.
Great idea! We plan on doing the same sort of thing. I love the way you displayed everything together. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very awesome idea, E. If my DIY projects turn out as amazing as yours (yours are seriously amazing) I just might have to do something similar
I love this idea!!! I’m totally going to have to make something similar!!
Fabulous idea. Will this be displayed in a place of honor in your home?
Thanks everyone!!
@Crown: Right now it’s on the only wall that we had space in our 2 bedroom apartment. I will definitely find a perfect space for it once we move into our first house!
