Paper & DIYs

STDs. 

I made these on Zazzle.   I realized, when they arrived at my house, that I didn't include anything about Bermuda, and used 2 different dates.   I've had a few complaints, and some people have gotten confused, but whatever.   I gave them the web address for more info, its not my fault they chose not to look!

INVITATIONS

Invitations were also made on Vistaprint.   I used the 35% off Promo, and ended up paying about 50cents for each invitation, even with the color print on the back.

ENVELOPES / RSVP

Since I had the 35% off Promo, and got the invites at such a great price, I opted for the matching response cards, and envelopes.     Im going to buy purple & yellow tissue paper at the dollar store, and cut it to size to place in the envelopes

Table "numbers"

Picture
I made these.  

We named each table after a Bermuda shipwreck.   The front on the card is the table "name," while the back is a short paragraph about the shipwreck.    

New & Improved Table Numbers

Picture
The more and more I looked at my table numbers, the more & more it annoyed me that they were completely different in color and font then the mailbox.  I literally spent hours trying to convince myself I would be the only one who a) noticed and 2) cared.   

These are the new table numbers.   The colors are purple & yellow, like everything else in my wedding and I added actual numbers.  

I created these in Microsoft Publisher, using a clip art and font i downloaded for free from the interwebs.   They cost me about $10 after buying cardstock and scrapbooking tape.



Table Numbers, Part Deux

Picture
This is the back of the table numbers.   

Each table is named after a shipwreck, as shipwrecks and shipwreck diving are part of what Bermuda is known for.    The reef around Bermuda caused hundreds of wrecks in the early years of the countries colonization.   

The back of each card has a small summary of the ship, and its wreck.

Escort "Cards"

I hand wrote everyone's name, and "2011 bermuda" on the front.   The table name is on the back.   Im going to run yellow ribbon through the top 2 holes, and the escort "card" can double as a keepsake ornament. 

The tray is from Michaels.  $15
