~Always be Thankful to Your Guests~

I think one "must" of planning a wedding is to 

let your guests know you are grateful for them to share in your special day.

Some have traveled from afar to be there.

Some have spent a pretty penny or two on your gift.

These people are near and dear to your heart, make sure to let them know their presence is greatly appreciated!!!

You can do this on your program

On your menu

On your favors

etc.

Also don't forget to thank them at some point during the night.  

These speeches by the bride and groom are always short and sweet but super adorable!

~Destiny and Fili's Wedding~

On August 28th 2011

{Destiny and Fili}

got married

 after years of dating.

They are simply adorable in every way.

I was honored to help with their special day.

I will do a thorough post with details, etc soon, here are just a few images I took before guests arrived.

I helped make 13 bouquets and boutonnieres.

I designed their program, helped set things up and had a BLAST!

More photos soon dears!

~Programs for my Bride~

Now that we had the show Sunday . . . I'm starting to relax a little where I have time to blog, wooo hoo!

Photos and info to post soon:-)

Tonight: craft night at my bride Lindsay's house to make programs, etc.  She's super cute!  Her and her fiance Mike are getting married in about a week! Can't wait!!! Her wedding will be at DeLille Cellars in woodinvile, Wa.  Super gorgeous venue.  You know I'll be back with photos and an interview!

These are the programs we will make tonight, except in her color.  How cute right?!

~Programs with Drink Tickets~

Oh yes I said drink tickets.

We all know that drinks and open bar at weddings are SO expensive.  No joke right?!

I've been asked to find a nice classy way of doing drink tickets . . .

 

(via Just Something I Made)

You have to use your imagination, but on the bottom of your program have a perforated drink ticket! Make it super cute and people will love it.

DIY tip: use your sewing machine to punch holes between program and bottom drink ticket to perforate!

***We are using this idea for our WEDDING EXPO in less than 2 weeks***

Our guests get a mimosa on the house.

What are your thoughts on drink tickets?

Cheesy, tacky or a good idea???
