Templates for Google Docs
July 17th, 2008 @ 1:44 pm by Mrs. Peony
Hi, I’m Mrs. Peony and I am a Google Addict.
Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Notebook, and Google Calendar are integral parts of my digital life. I have an unhealthy obsession with Google Reader and I have it open at all times. Gmail is my email service of choice.
I Google everything and anything…I’ve gotten so good at it, in fact, that people are usually amazed by the speed and efficiency at which I can find obscure information off the web.
(It also doesn’t hurt that Mr. Peony works for Google. 
And yes, their cafeteria is fantabulous.)
Today, Google released a large collection of templates for Google Docs. When I saw that “wedding planners” was the first template mentioned in the blog post announcing this new feature, I knew I had to share it with Weddingbee readers.
Birds Birds Birds!

Expanding on my obsession with all things cute and bird-related and for those of you finding it hard to procure birds for decoration or cake toppers, I discovered a great tutorial this morning on one of my favorite blogs, Peonies and Polaroids (another one for the reader!). These birds are absolutely darling and if I had some more time, I would make a few for gifts.

Crafting the Invitation Part I: DIY Pocketfolds
June 9th, 2008 @ 4:27 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
Remember my DIY invitations? Well, here are my long overdue instructions, starting with the pocketfolds! In an effort to keep costs down while having a perdy invitation, we opted to make our own pocketfolds. I bought 8.5×11″ metallic cardstock paper (in Spring Green!) from bluedotpapershop.
What you’ll need:
- 8.5×11″ cardstock
- 0.25″ wide supertape (seriously, supertape is the only thing that will work)
- Paper cutter and scissors

More DIY…
May 30th, 2008 @ 3:13 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom
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.

Free Invitation Templates
February 22nd, 2007 @ 11:25 am by Mrs. Blueberry
I just discovered the greatest resource for those of you still looking for inspiration for your DIY invitations!
Bridalocity offers a number of free templates (most require MS Publisher 2002 or higher, but some are Word-compatible). They’re all very tasteful and elegant, and so helpful for anyone still searching for just the right layout for their invites. Even if you don’t use their exact layouts, things such as proportion, font, and spacing can be helpful while designing your own 
.
I’m DIY-ing my own stationery, and while more complex directions will follow (after I make the invites!), this is pretty much how I made our STDs. I created a template in Word, then used my parents’ high-quality laser printer to print the invites onto cardstock from Paper Source. Then, I used stamps and ink to stamp each, and added the second layer of cardstock behind (for added thickness and dimension).

I thought someone could use my Microsoft Word program and menu templates. The programs have some Korean in them too.
Enjoy! 
Sample Wedding Program Layouts

Seems like you girls have ceremony programs on the brain. Alright, alright… I confess that I do too. 
I hereby declare that obsessing over ceremony programs is a normal and decent human activity! Or obsessing over any wedding detail for that matter…
Here’s a website that can either cure or feed your preoccupation with sample ceremony program layouts.
I can’t vouch for their products or customer service, but they sure do provide lots of helpful sample programs on their website! They provide dozens of different program designs AND a clear example of the layout and text of each page.
For example, if you choose this design
