Today’s guest DIY post comes from Jennifer of With This Ring. Jennifer shows us how to create perfect calligraphy… even if you’re a novice!

I always knew I wanted the classy elegance of handwritten calligraphy on our wedding invitations. Unfortunately, $2.00 per envelope for our 100 invitations didn’t exactly fit the bill. I’ve spent many hours drooling over the designs of calligraphers such as Laura…

They are FINALLY all out and we have started to receive some of the RSVP/menu cards, so I think it is safe to share a few pictures with you.

Since making invitations is what I do for a…

Today’s DIY rewind comes from Mrs. Emerald. Mrs. Emerald wanted to include bows on all of her invitations, but found that tying hundreds of bows was difficult, and often times messy.

Today’s DIY rewind comes to us from Mrs. Plum. Mrs. Plum shows us how to make cufflinks at home! If you can’t find cufflinks to suit your groom’s taste, this would be a great and thoughtful gift for your groom-to-be! Consider using coins from his family’s country of origin, or other objects that represent one of his hobbies. This DIY project was originally posted on…

Today’s DIY Rewind comes from Mrs. Peach. Mrs. Peach couldn’t swallow the steep price of the sports garters she found online, so she made her own University of Michigan garter! This DIY project was originally posted on November 28, 2006.

Miss. Hibiscus’ entry about sports garters made me think about mine. While we probably won’t have a garter toss, a sports garter seems like a nice…

Today’s DIY rewind comes from Mrs. Licorice. Mrs. Licorice decided to take the plunge and buy a copy of Photoshop Elements so she could design her own Save the Dates. They turned out awesome! Not bad for a first timer, eh? Perhaps it will inspire you to invest in a design program as well! This DIY project was originally posted on July 30, 2007.

Today our DIY rewind comes from Mrs. Lemon. Mrs. Lemon took her handmade invitations to the next level by embroidering her fabric-covered invitations (at home!), and printing the inserts with her Gocco printer.

Mrs. Penguin here! I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs. Plumeria a little while back, and she showed me these letters she sent out to her bridesmaids. What made these letters so special is that they included “paper doll dress cutouts”. Each of her bridesmaids could custom design her own dress, from the top to bottom. Length, style, sash/no sash - you name it! Mrs. Plumeria…

Today our DIY rewind comes from Mrs. Violet. The Violets gave their guests these cute handmade, re-purposed Altoid tins as favors. They filled the tins with their favorite candies to make a useful and edible gift! These would make not only great favors, but stocking stuffers as well!

I knew that we had to have favors,…
