Paper and Other Projects

Monogram

Here's the monogram I created using Powerpoint

Save the Dates

We ordered our magnets from Magnet Street

http://www.magnetstreet.com

I bought card stock invitations from Staples and printed my own Save the Dates. I used photo corners from AC Moore to attach the magnet to the card. The final product was double sided.

Font: Vivaldi

Without the magnet attached

With the magnet attached

Here's the poem we used on the front page:

Our day is fast approaching

and we can hardly wait.

Place this magnet on your fridge

and be sure to save the date!

Invitations

Discount Invitations USA - Bridal Bliss

Here's what it'll look like with the text, although the spacing will be fixed.

The fonts are Avalon (script) and Copperplate Gothic (block).

Here are the super cheap inserts I made using unruled index cards from Staples

Directions and Accommodations (Front and Back) - 4x6 card

Information about the Rehearsal Dinner and Morning-After Brunch - 4x6 card

(We had two sets of cards because not everyone was invited to the rehearsal dinner)

RSVP Card for the Rehearsal Dinner and Morning-After Brunch - 3x5 card

(Again, we had two sets to match which information card was included with the invite)

Programs

LCI Paper

For the outside cover of our programs, I bought these calla lily invitations

Classic White Calla Lily

For the inside pages of our programs, I bought these program pages

I created our program layout in Microsoft Word using a custom paper size.

I bought white place cards with silver borders at Michael's and printed the names and tables in purple.

Here's what I drew up for our menu. I'm printing two per page on cardstock and and bringing them to Staples to get cut. I'll have one at each place setting.

Here are our table numbers. I'm printing two per page on cardstock and bringing them to Staples to get cut.

Photo Cards

http://www.dotphoto.com

I wanted people to upload any digital photos they took at our wedding, so I created a login on dotphoto.com. I used this site because you can download to your computer the photos that people upload. I'm printing these on 3x5 index cards from Staples and I'll have one at each place setting.

Fonts: Avalon (script) and Copperplate Gothic (block)

Here's a picture of how the photo cards, menus, and favors were set up

Out of Town Bags

I bought medium sized white paper handle bags from Michael's and put a sticker with our monogram on the front (bought 3x4 inch labels from Staples and printed on those). I then tied the bag handles together with purple ribbon from Michael's.

Here's what I filled the bag with:

1) Boston postcard

2) Nantucket Nectars - Lemonade or Half & Half

3) Cape Cod Potato Chips

4) Gummy Lobsters (Massachusetts Bay Trading Company)

5) Red Sox Peanuts (Massachusetts Bay Trading Company)

6) Boston Walking and Driving Map (Massachusetts Bay Trading Company)

Favors

I bought favor boxes from Michael's and filled them with 4 truffles from Dan's Chocolates (see flavors below). Then I bought printable favor tags from Michael's, printed our calla lily logo along with our names and date on it, and ran the ribbon through them before tying up the box.

Here's what they looked like!

Brides Favor Box Kit, 50 count (in silver)

Truffles - Dan's Chocolates

I bought each type of truffle in bulk (63 truffles per tray). Mmm mmm good!

Memory Table

I wanted to do something in memory of family members who had passed, but I didn't want it to be too overdone or sad. So we had a simple memory table set up in the reception area right near where you walked in. Each person/couple had a votive candle, escort card, and favor box.

Here's what it looked like:

Card Box

I bought a photo frame card box from knottie 678 Bride and fixed it up with some personal touches. I bought some purple fabric that matched the BM dresses to put on the top, and I filled the frames with pictures of Matt and me when we were younger. Here's a picture of the finished product:

Here's a picture of the gift table with the photo card box and some Red Sox flair. We bought Wally, his girlfriend Molly, and his chair from the Remy Report online store.

Guest Book

http://www.mypublisher.com

I used pictures from our two engagement picture sessions with Scott Metzger and Rachel Hadiashar and created a guest book using My Publisher. I love how it came out!

Here's a picture of the guest book from the day of the wedding

We ordered 3.5" x 5" foldover photo cards from Kodak Gallery for our thank you cards. I used one of our professional pictures and added the bottom border using Adobe Photoshop.
