I Spy-Marry Me Monday

I LOVE this idea---asking guests to take their cameras and spy the following shots. Some of the best pictures from my own wedding were from the disposable cameras we put on each table and I just love giving guests a little guidance...Great idea.

Unique Guest Book-Marry Me Monday

I found this great idea on pinterest and just loved it. I think that if you were to use this idea, have hand wipes at the ready and a skinny pen so guests can sign their name near their thumb print.

Thumbs Up of an idea! (he, he).

Say thank you in a wonderful way-Fabulous Finds Friday

This year I have asked to host Thanksgiving and I am already thinking of how I can make the day really special. Here is one idea that I have come up with that is easy and very inexpensive to create: placemate full of things that I am thankful for.

I literally spent just a few minutes on this, but wanted to at least give you the idea. I printed the first layer of the placemat on a colored card stock 8.5 x 11 and then glued it to a rust paper in a larger size (in this case, it was 12 x 18). Each paper has a little bit of texture to it, and when set at each person's place setting, I think it will be a really pretty and meaningful addition to my table. I also may modified this and have the person's name on the placemat as well as why I am thankful for them. That would make the placemat even more personal and thoughtful...What do you think of this idea?

Save the Date Postcard - Take Ours and Make it Yours Thursday

I love this mason jar wedding save the date design and I love it even more when I see brides putting their own spin on the colors, what it says, etc. This couple chose a great picture to include that shows them playing in a pretty field. A perfect accompaniment to the save the date mason jar design.

The original design includes a red background for the design:

This couple chose a green that goes so well with their picture.

Turned out great, don't you think?

Butcher Paper Table Cloth-Marry Me Monday

I saw this and thought what a great idea for a rustic wedding (or a thanksgiving feast). Just take butcher paper, and cut it to length for the width of the table and then either draw, stamp (or leave blank) some decorations on the paper. Love it!

Bird Wedding Invitations-Take Ours and Make it Yours

Our Bird Wedding Invitation is a popular option and we have seen so many great color combinations with this invitation. We recently had a bride change the wedding invitation colors to royal red, walnut and cream. Her finished invitation said "Fall" and "Beautiful" all in the same sentence.
