DIY Save the Date

Set the timer on the camera! What difference does it make if the paint doesn’t come off? It is on the bottom of your shoes anyway!

DIY Aisle Runner

I love the idea of writing down the lyrics of a favorite song!

(via: oomydarling- Neat DIY aisle runner, Message of love <3. Some ideas of what to write include: ~ The groom could write a special message to his bride. ~ The guests could write messages to the bride or to the happy couple {a guest book on a grand scale!} ~ The lyrics to a special song. ~ A religious or meaningful passage or poem. ~ Something funny, sweet or cute like an arrow pointing to your partner saying ‘This way to wedded bliss’ or ‘The beginning of forever’.)

Personalized Touches

Such a beautiful sentiment and something you can always cherish! You or a friend good at design can help with the background. Get it printed by a good printer and place in a frame so you always have this to remind each other!

(via: linnyinnyc- The Groom typed twenty things he loved about his Bride. She typed 20 things she loved about him and they displayed them at the reception…)

Plain Kraft Paper Runners

Check out how lovely just the plain kraft paper runners turned out in this post on Paper Hearts and Cranes blog (click-through link to post)! Plus I love their bamboo plates!

You can get a lot of kraft paper for very little money!  Plus, the possibilities are endless. Leave it plain, decorate it like in the previous post, or set out crayons or colored pencils and let your guests doodle away!
