Guestbook
Our guestbook arrived in the mail today! (March 8, 2012)
It came out absolutely perfect. I had a groupon and spent $15 for $50 credit at mixbook.com. Out of that I receive one 8.5x11 picture book, 5 regular thank you cards, and one personalized thank you card with one of our engagement pictures on it!

Photo Share Cards
These will be placed around the tables at the reception and I will send some of them with thank you cards as well.
I made them on Vistaprint. I got 250 business cards for FREE! Only had to pay for shipping.
Once I got them, they were a little smaller than I would have liked, but I will set them out anyways!

Save The Dates
I can't say that I did these all by myself. I told my photographer what I wanted and she did the dirty work for me. I love them though!
They go in the mail tomorrow morning! I can't wait to start hearing people say they received them!

Invitation
This is what I have developed so far for invitations. I will need to make about 150 of them.
None of the invitations kits that I have found matched my colors, theme, or what I had envisioned so I decided to make my own invites!
It is made from scratch with cardstock. I'm actually extremely proud of what I have developed! It makes me feel like I might have a crafty gene in me somewhere :)

Pomanders
I finished one pomander so far (I plan to make six at the least)! I'm hoping to use these on the ends of the chairs down the aisle at the ceremony (every other row, zig-zagged). The color is a maroon/burgundy color. The pomander itself took longer than I wanted it to, but luckily I have plenty of time to get them done and a few people who have offered to help. They are really rather simple to make, if you want directions just ask :)
Personalized Hangers
These hangers are for the bridesmaids to hang their dresses on for pictures. I still need to make myself a hanger but I ran out of wire! I used 12 gauge aluminum wire (found in the jewelry section at Michaels), needle-nose pliers, gorilla glue and wire cutters. I bought the hangers at Wal*Mart pack of 5 for 4 bucks. Ends up each one of these hangers only costs 2.28 cents roughly! I'm very pleased with how they turned out.
