Nothing fancy schmancy but we needed table numbers for the Chinese banquet and wanted one that could give us space to write each guest’s name at each table, stood on its own, and showed the number. But I couldn’t find a simple tri-fold template online that I could use and make easily, so I created my own and it’s shared here for you all!!
I kept mine really really simple but you can use the template and dress it up in so many different ways! Here’s how it looked prior to printing it on Staples Cover Letter stock paper.

Let’s Rewind…

into some old projects that I want to share …
Some of you have asked about the favor tags, so here goes. I created the template in Powerpoint by creating 1.5″ circles and spacing them evenly top to bottom and left to right, so that when I printed the backside of the circle, it’d line up exactly. A good trick to know if the circles on the two separate pages are lined up is if you are tabbing between page 1 (front side) and page 2 (back side), you don’t see the page blink or change much other than the text.

Psychotic With Details…

I am attempting to preserve my bouquet to use the following day for our second reception. A little bit of wishful thinking? Maybe so… if anything, I have a back up one anyway. I have plenty of vases, ribbons, and adorable book cloth (that I bought a long time ago from Daiso) that I threw together for a resting/hydrating place for my bouquet during the reception. I want to love it and protect it as long as I can since I won’t be drying it afterwards.

What’s Goin’ On?

Our venue can be a little tricky to navigate, so as soon as guests exit the elevators, they’ll be greeted by this little number:
What Face Do I Want To Wear?
April 28th, 2008 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom
The wedding is coming up fast . All decisions that were made should be final, or should they?
I’m thinking about changing my face. Diana Wilcenski, my awesomeness hair and make up artist, totally rocked it out for my trial… except I decided to change the lipstick. Here’s the more classic look for the wedding that we had agreed on:
As We Walk Down The Aisle Together…
April 25th, 2008 @ 6:09 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom
The ceremony is probably one of the most romantic events of the whole wedding day. I don’t want it to pass by too quickly, yet I don’t want it to be too long where guests are bored and drying up from the sun. I’m also super huge on the whole feel of the event, but in the most cost effective way of course. 
A long time ago I found inspiration from SGWeddingBlog’s blog when she posted the photo below from photog, Amy Squires’ blog, and I just thought GENIUS!

Boo yah - our slideshow is up baby!!! Thanks to Scott Robert who feverishly worked until the wee hours of the morning to pound that shiet out for me within the week!! It was either that or he would have had me refreshing every half hour on the dot and attacking him via email. 
Gotta give him major props for the slideshow and all the photos because I was a wee bit concerned about how we would be captured on camera, naturally and as ourselves…. but it was captured amazingly.
We totally got lucky because both Scott and Bandele Zuberi were in town for one of Scott’s workshops, so we held them hostage. I mean, hung out with them all day exploring the city. The only thing more perfect I could have wished for was way less cooooold BRRR weather.
