What are your DIY inspirations? Obviously, I intend on going with the basics:
- Invitations - an Etsy seller will design them and the rest will be up to us.
- Wedding programs - Did you include them? Thoughts? I'm considering making them into fans, given the Panamanian heat, but suggestions are welcome. Are they necessary or overkill?
- Table numbers, escort cards, etc... Ideas are more than welcome!
- Clutches or jewelry for the bridesmaids' gifts... Any other ideas for gifts for these lovely ladies (preferably which won't cost an obscene amount of money)?
- A photo booth and scrapbook-type thing for the guestbook. It'll be difficult convincing Mr. Tango's family to forgo the traditional guestbook, but that's all the more reason to make it amazing!
- Lighting: We want lots and lots of lights - white paper lanterns, candles, Christmas lights, and more. Lucky for us, Bees have created some wonderful guides!
- Reception decorations: We will want to add some color to the pure white linens the venue provides us with. Ribbons on the tables? Flowy fabric hanging?
- A card box: Panamanians give cash, not gift-registry items. I love the birdcages, but the Mr. doesn't.... I think we'll likely end up decorating a card box instead. (Sigh, I guess the compromise starts now!)
- Ceremony decorations: We need to create something for us to stand under for the ceremony. Mr. Tango and I prefer the square-looking ones to the arches, so we may have to do some light construction work! Also in the works - creating an aisle, chair decorations, and anything/everything else!
What about you? What's your favorite DIY project?
