Wedding DIY-Cake Table Napkins

I'm much too cheap to pay for napkins with our names and wedding date on it. However, I didn't want just plan napkins either. Instead, I decided to emboss the napkins.

I found several stamps on clearance that were perfect.

I also did black embossing on white napkins.

They are not perfect by any means, but they are a cute addition.

My grandma and mom helped me out with this little DIY. We had a wonderful assembly line going on!

Wedding DIY-Kid's Crayons

Riley and I will be having a reception full of fun for the adults. I wanted to make sure that the kids had something fun to do too. I've created Kid's Activity Books and also crayons to go along with them.

I found some Christmas Crayons on clearance during the summer online at Oriental Trading. They were super cheap and the box ends were red, which matches our wedding colors.

I had leftover cards from my Tears of Joy Packets. I'm all about using what I already have, so I cut off the top portion with the saying and used the name and wedding date.

I simply wrapped plain white printer paper around the crayon boxes and secured it with double-sided tape. Then I attached the portion of the card on the front.


Since I was using leftover cards and white printer paper that I already had on hand, this project was super cheap and only took me about an hour.

Wedding DIY-Kid's Activity Book

I made an activity book to keep the kiddos entertained at our wedding reception.

I included games and activities.

There are coloring pages included too.

I made the book using Word and it was really pretty simple.

The books are sewn together using regular white thread.

I think the little ones will enjoy them :)

Wedding DIY-Reception Flip Flops

With all the dancing that will occur at our wedding, it's safe to say that heels will be ditched.

I always end up barefoot on the dance floor and go home with disgustingly dirt feet.

When I saw the idea for "dancing shoes" to be provided for guests, I jumped on the idea.

I bought about 30 pairs of flip-flops from Old Navy. I think I paid about $13.00 total because they were on clearance and I had a coupon too.

I used my Cricut to cut out black and white cardstock to label the size for each pair of flip-flops.

I wrapped black ribbon around the flip-flops to secure them together. I used a hot glue gun, which only resulted in a few burns.



They are simple, but cute.



I think I'll put them in a fancy red bucket or basket of some sort. I'll be sure to post what I come up with.

Wedding DIY-Tealights

This was one of those ideas that sounds great until you start actually doing it.

I plan on using a bunch of little tealights to place around the centerpieces at our wedding reception. I thought it would be really cute to use vinyl to add words to them.

I bought a bunch of tealights from Bath & Body Works when they were on sale. They burn for 3.5 hours, which is longer than any others I could find.

Then using my Cricut, I cut out words using black vinyl and wedded out all the extra. The cutting and the weeding took FOREVER! I had to take out the middle of the Es, Os, and As, which doesn't seem like all that much work, but when they are so tiny-its very time consuming.

I used Cricut Transfer Tape to transfer the vinyl to the tealights.

It was a very simple project and I'm happy with the end result.

They read: Happiness, Love, Joy, Bliss, Cherish, Forever.

However, it took WAY more time than I'm willing to admit. It's really kind of embarassing how long these little thing took.

I'll admit though, these 150 tealights kicked my butt!
