Wedding DIY

Hey crafters!!

I need your favorite ideas, patterns, thoughts and creative energies- because it's time for some serious Wedding DIY!!

Here's the scoop:

I am having a destination wedding next April in sunny Florida! We're excited to bring our families and closest friends down to celebrate with us, but as you can imagine, destination weddings = slightly higher costs = some areas need to be cut back.

Add that equation to the budget of a connsumate DIY-er, and you've got CRAFT PROJECTS!

I plan to tackle:

Save-the-Dates and Invites (I'm getting quotes as well, but there will likely be some aspect of DIY here)

Menu Cards, Escort Cards, Placecards (same as above)

Vintage bunting banners- or something like them- to hang around the reception site

My own centerpieces and bouquets (but that's just a given, because, ummmmmm....that's what I do for a living).

My birdcage veil??? If I can find a good pattern???

Decor details- we are thinking of a lovebirds theme, and I want to make tons of tiny little felt-and-fabric birds to adorn cake toppers, table numbers, ribbon wrapped around vases, and so forth. But I don't want them to be too childish. Thoughts?!?

Send me your ideas and let's get Wedding DIY-ing!
