DIY, DIT, and DIWFF Wedding Projects

Tony and I are planning our wedding this weekend--hence the failure to post consistently over the past months! The wedding was planned on a tight timeline and a fairly tight budget which meant we had a lot of "do it yourself", "do it together", and "do it with friends and family" projects.  I like these kinds of projects so we would have done many things ourselves even with more time or money. 

I've been reminded again and again just how much our family and friends love us during the process. Upon hearing of our wedding, the first question out of each person's mouth was "let me know what I can do to help!" I know we could not have made this event as special as it will surely be without all of their help.

We have family members making gift baskets for out of town guests, constructing a photo booth, and baking our cake. Friends have volunteered their time and connections to provide drinks for our guests, tie hunderds of ribbons, create hand-made centerpieces, and deliver the flower arrangements. After the wedding craziness dies down I plan to do some posts on some of these individual projects.

In the meantime, a big thanks to everyone! And here are some pictures of DIY/T/WFF projects in progress around my house right now as I (impatiently) wait for the bulk flowers I ordered to arrive at my doorstep. Why of course we are doing our own flowers! :) More on that to come...

Plain cards stamped with our wedding "logo." Birds appear as a theme in our wedding guest cards, cake, and favors.

Yes...that is a tree in our living room. This will be our "wishing tree."  It is serving as our guestbook.  Guests will be asked to write a message to us on a tag and hang it on the tree.  

This is the prep for those flowers. I've got all the vases planned for each table (and labeled according to a numbered floor plan).  Once the flowers come, the arrangements will be made. Hopefully it will be easy to put them out on the tables with the handy numeric coding system. :)
