The Fantabulous DIY Wedding ThreadThe Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Hi ladies,
In response to "Wouldn't a DIY thread be nice?" the lovely admins have said they'll make a sticky DIY thread, and if it gets enough traffic they'll make a forum out of it. I'm in work now so can't spend too much time on here, but said I'd get it started with a few links. Happy DIY-ing! Book of love cards nice pressie for H2B on morning of wedding maybe? Not sure if I could think of 52 things though. I mean....I love him and all, but 52 things is a lot! http://papervinenz.blogspot.com/2011/02/hi-everyone-this-is-last-of-my.html Jigsaw puzzle guest book http://weddingnouveau.com/2010/08/decor-ideas-vintage-photo-puzzle-guest-books/ think I'd prefer one where I can see their names and messages, still a nice idea though curled paper heart garland http://www.ohcrafts.net/decoration-paper-heart-garland.php suspended bottle vases http://www.ohcrafts.net/wedding-flowers-in-hanging-glass-bottles.php cake topper http://www.ohcrafts.net/wedding-diy-cake-toppers.php Diy Tea bar favours guests can create their own blend http://www.ohcrafts.net/wedding-diy-tea-bags.php braided bead necklace / bracelet tutorial http://www.ecabonline.com/2010/04/braided-bead-necklace.html Incandescent lightbulb bud vase (am I pushing it too far with this one? ) http://www.readymade.com/projects/lightbulb_bud_vase heart shaped bird seed favours http://www.intimateweddings.com/blog/birdseed-wedding-favor-hearts-easy-and-inexpensive-diy/ DIY wine bottle cutting tutorialfor making centrepieces with candles inside the bottles - gorgeous but might be a bit dangerous from the point of view of people burning themselves off the hot glass though http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/my-diy-wine-bottle-centerpieces DIY heart shaped crayons favours for younger guests maybe? http://www.flickr.com/photos/61951289@N08/5672821563/in/photostream/ Activity booklet for kids http://www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com/wedding-favors-for-kids.html Pumpkin Carving as a feature http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=308942&p=3335346#p3335346 DIY Brooch/Jewellery Bouquet Tutorial http://www.fancypantsweddings.com/how-to-design-a-brooch-bouquet/ Wedding Invitation Wording and "rules" - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=283025 DIY Flowers Supplies - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=269174 making your own dress - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=273355 how to print mass booklets - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=163637 Templates for Mass Booklet/Order of Service http://weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=279591 Using excel + mail merge to print envelope labels http://weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=265931 Bouquet - http://www.ayleebits.com/2009/09/02/bouquet1-hydrangea/ - http://www.ayleebits.com/2009/09/21/bouquet-trial-2-carnations/ Ferrero Roche Tree - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=279742 veil - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=274661 Birdcage veil - http://weddingsonline.ie/planning-tips/article/166/diy-birdcage-veil/ DIY seed paper - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=278843&p=3015823#p3015823 http://gomakesomething.com/ht/papermaking/papermaking/ Seed favours - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=275417 Personalised Unity Candles - http://www.offray.com/UNCANDLE.HTML Pew ends - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=140817 Hair - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=274816 Centrepieces - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/planning-tips/article/72/diy-centrepieces/ - http://www.ayleebits.com/2010/02/09/diy-tissue-pomander-centerpieces/ http://weddingsonline.ie/planning-tips/article/154/diy-centrepieces-from-ikea/ Shoes - http://weddingsonline.ie/planning-tips/ ... al-sandal/ Mass Booklets - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion ... 3&t=254338 Tips for making invites - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion ... 13&t=80917 - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion ... 3&t=155854 Wedding Cake - viewtopic.php?f=13&t=278151 - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion ... 3&t=276410 Invitations Cost and Supplies - http://www.weddingsonline.ie/discussion ... 9&start=15 Last edited by roma2011 on Wed May 04, 2022 3:26 pm, edited 14 times in total.
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
absolutely brilliant to have all this is in one place
we're makin our own invites and are considering our own pew ends i'll definitely be checkin out the tips below would love some images as well if anyone has any of invites etc they've made themselves [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]
[/url] Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Great idea roma! I've made my own invitations and will be making my own favours too (well I've bought little tins and will be putting mints in them ).
Here's a photo of one of my finished invitations - eek, first time showing anyone! Bought the invitation materials from www.cardsandpockets.com - highly recommend them, the quality of the materials is fantastic. Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Wow supersexyflanders they look amazing - completely professional, and very sophisticated. Well done, you must be thrilled! Did that website provide you with templates for the text for all the little bits or did you just do it up yourself?
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
SSF- they look amazing-well done. Ive hmmed and haaaed over doing my own invites and have looked at that site loads of times and now you have me wanting to do it again. Can you tell me what it was that you ordered from them-like how many enclosures,liners etc? Did you get hit with customs and did you order a sample first? sorry so many questions......
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
O.M.G!!!!!!!! They are AMAZING supersexyflanders!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, they are just gorgeous!
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Thanks girls!!
Roma when I bought mine there were no design ideas on the site but they have since set up a design blog with some fab ideas on it and there is a section where people can submit their own designs-some of the things people have come up with are amazing. Marylin I ordered 75 of each component - the total cost was €160, including €30 for customs. I didn't bother ordering samples as I'd actually already received an invitation from a friend of mine who also used them so I knew the quality was great. The only thing I would recommend is using a laser printer and making sure what is the minimum paper size it can handle. I ran into some issues with this and nearly tore my hair out until I got it sorted! Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
The link to the paper rose pew ends are AMAZING! Love them! Might be tempted to try them out... wonder did the poster end up using them in the end.
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Hi Super Sexy Flander
I want your invites they are fab nicest I have seen ever!!! I am logging onto that site asap!!!
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Wow, thanks so much! Its in the back of my mind to maybe start up a little part-time business making them next year after our own wedding. Cheers for the motivation! Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
I think you should as honestly one of the best invites I have seen and I have looked at lots!!!!
OMG i just logged onto that website I must be braindead as I am finding it really confusing! Would you be able to tell me what you ordered? Sorry if this sounds really cheecky!! But I would love to make the exact same but in a different colour? Did you find it a lot cheaper? Thanks
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
We are going to need about 65 invitations so I ordered a few extra of everything just in case.
75 pocketfolds ("Signature" style, in "Champagne" colour) 75 invitation mats ("Onyx" - metallic colour) - they weren't doing the patterned paper when I ordered mine, just plain colours 75 invitations (cream) 75 blank RSVP cards (cream) 75 blank enclosures (for accommodation info) (cream) 75 RSVP envelopes ("Black Tie" colour) 75 envelopes (cream) They have actually added way more options since I ordered, such as the patterned paper, option of having rounded corners, and I think they may even offer a printing service and the option of having some or all of the components glued together before they're sent. The pattern that I used I actually purchased from www.istockphoto.com but thats just me being really picky - I think it cost about €8. There are endless options for graphics or designs or patterns available free on the web or even on Microsoft Windows Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Well done roma11 for the progress on this post. It will be great to be able to find easily as a sticky and I'm sure once people see it it will get loads of traffic and hopefully can make it into a forum. Such a great idea.
Just have to tell you stupidsexyflanders you're invites are soo fab. Can't believe how well they turned out, they look so professional. You've really given me confidence in making my own.
Re: The Fantabulous DIY Wedding Thread
Thanks a million,ill look into it again
