Over the weekend I knocked a few more thing off my DIY list.  One being a cute “E” key chain.  I bought some supplies last week and last night I finally sat down to make it.  It only took about 30 mins and BAM!  New key chain, that I use in 32 days.  Or longer since I won’t be able to use it till we get back.  But anyhoo I think it’s quite cute.

I also finished our guest book last night.  I think this will be a very cute idea and should be more personal then the traditional “K and M were here, congrats!” post.  We will ask our guests to provide well wishes or advice and then we will add pics from the trip later.  No pics for this one 😉

Well this is probably my last post for the week.  I’ve done a stellar job thus far.  I know I forgot yesterday.  Anyway, I ran to Target tonight and picked up a few more items that could be wedding related.  Just some card stock and flower stickers.

I’ve been thinking about making bride and groom signs to hang from our chairs at the reception.  Originally I wanted to do wooden signs but M wasn’t really feeling that idea and I’m not very good at painting letters/words on wood.  Next best option, paper.  So as I was sitting here pondering whether or not I should do bride/groom or mr/mrs, I hit up the knot to see what my fellow knotties thought.  One girl suggested bride and groom since we only get those titles for one day but we will be mr and mrs for life.  I like her thinking!

And as luck would have it I bought an extra piece of gray card stock at Michaels.  Viola, signs are made.  Just like that.  M didn’t even know what happened.  hehe.

Now I feel like I want to print out our table numbers and menus but tonight really isn’t the night to try and finish all of this.  The printer seems to print a little pinker on the card stock.  I was worried because my “mock up” menus seemed to be a little more red.  Anyway, I might test out the menu once more before I take it somewhere.  But I think the table numbers, all 4 of them, will be fine to be printed at home.

Now for a pic.

This weekend is my bachelorette party weekend.  A couple of the girls and myself are going to Wilmington.  It should be a fun time.  A good friend from Texas is flying in tomorrow afternoon.  YAY!  I haven’t seen her in a while so it will be nice to catch up.

I haven’t really posted much of the DIY wedding items I’ve been working on but I finished a few things this weekend so here you go.

The first is my DIY bridal suite/do not disturb sign.  I made this so the bridal suite and do not disturb signs would be interchangeable.  I didn’t feel like making 2 signs and in order to save a little space this seemed to work well.  I basically just added slits to the corners and the signs slip in.

The next thing I worked on was my cake topper.  The DREADED cake topper!  M and I ran to Michael’s on Saturday to pick up more rhinestones.  And wouldn’t you know, I didn’t get the hot fix ones (so I will have to hand glue them!)  And I didn’t get ENOUGH!  ARGGGG!  Seriously.  But I think it will look good.  I ran to Michael’s at lunch and picked up one more pack so this should finish it off.

Now I can finish up the last corner.  You can’t really tell but the rhinestones are a pale pink.  I think they will add just enough sparkle.  I’d thought about filling in the whole thing but that would probably require a million of these little boogers.  So this is what I’m going with.

And lastly I finished up my day of hoodie.  I might add another heart to the shorts but this one is done.

So there is my post of wedding day DIY projects.
