Flower Girl Sign

My Flower Girl, Harper Rose, is quite the little girl. I saw on marthastewart.com about having young children holding signs at a wedding and decided this would be perfect for Harper instead of having a her carry a flower basket. I found a light saber like toy in the clearance bin at the grocery store. The batteries were dead but for a $1 I couldn't help but grab it. This past weekend my friend Jess and Irena came up to help me with several projects. One of the projects we started to tackle was the sign. I wrapped the bottom of the light saber toy with white satin material after changing the batteries of course. I then tackled making the sign. I cut foam poster board in the shape of a pennant and added white letters I cut out of poster board to spell out YAY...It isn't finished yet but I am happy with the progress well minus the fact on one of the pennant I put the letters YAY upside down.



That is me releazing my epic failure. I am going to fix it this week by getting another posterboard but this time I will make sure to write the letters correctly.

Guestbook

With only 3 weeks left until our wedding Matt and I have been busy with some final details. We have received all, well almost all, our RSVPs back and are getting ready for the big day. One of the things we needed to decide on is what we were going to do for our guestbook. I didn't want the typical guestbook. You know the one with lines in it where everyone signs their names.

Something similar to this...



There is nothing wrong with this except I wondered how often I would look at it or if I would even look at it at all. I figured it would be packed up after the wedding with a bunch of other things and I would just never glance at it. Plus, how many times do you walk right by the guestbook and never sign your name. So Matt and I decided to do something different. I thought about doing a photobook, but never got around to putting it together. Plus I would have wanted to use our engagement photos which would have cost me more money than I wanted to part with. So instead I decided to do a poster. Something like this...



I even designed one, but then I designed something completely different. Something that would match our invitations and theme. I uploaded and ordered it last night and am super excited to get it in the mail soon along with a bunch of other things that I ordered from vistaprint.com. I think I should do a post just on what I ordered from vistaprint.com. I love that website.
