Free Wedding Poster! Fixed Link

I came across this poster in a wedding magazine my new boss gave me.

It may be kind of hard to see on my blog, but the names and date can be personalized and the best part is that it's free! It takes the place of having people sign a guest book and this way you can have it framed at the wedding and hang it up at home! I could probably try and make my own similar to it with my wedding colors, but I like this one so much it's okay it doesn't match exactly. I may have to make a second one myself anyway - because this one looks like it will only hold about 70 signatures.

Seating Chart

Just because I haven't posted in a while ... here is the beginning of my seating chart, which, so far, consists of a cork board, pins, and overpriced Martha Stewart gift tags.

So, the plan is to most likely put a small strip of patterned paper on the bottom of all of the tags - probably alternating with the wedding colors. I'll just put names on the chart alphabetically with the table number below the names - aaaand, that's about it. Unfortunately, it's one of those things I cant finish until right before the wedding.

Drink Dispensers

I can't find the original picture that inspired me to get drink dispensers for the wedding, but here is the look I'm going for ....

I will have a row, most likely on a higher ledge/shelf like this, with 4 or 5 drink dispensers filled with drinks that are my wedding colors. Right now I think the two on the ends will be maroon (sweet and unsweet tea) with the middle colors being yellow (lemonade), pink (some type of punch?) and orange (maybe some of that sherbert punch I like). These are the exact drink dispensers I bought...

Each $16.99 at TJMaxx Home Goods :D Anyway, I just thought this was a cute way to decorate and be functional. Also, if I can find enough small mason jars for a decent enough price, I will use them as glasses.

Bees, please.

In my search for drink dispensers for the wedding (which I have not posted anything about), I came across an awesome beehive shaped drink dispenser

So now I think it'd be really cute to have a bee/honey themed dessert table. Not like hardcore everything has to have yellow and black stripes, but there are a few things I'd like to do. Of course, these would be awesome ....

... super cute cake pops from bakerella.com . Also, my friend suggested I could do some type of honey bun and I've also seen cute cakes made from a beehive cake pan. Then there's always honey!

in mason jars, nonetheless (which I am using for centerpieces and probably glasses - which I guess I have also not posted about). So yeah, just kind of thinking out loud for now - but if anyone out there has a cute bee or honey idea for me, let me know!!

More Billy Balls!

Ok, so I am probably far too excited about this, but remember those "billy balls" I love? Yes, these ones...

well I've found a way to make some that look real for my wedding centerpieces!

Perfect!

Photobooth!

Hooray, I finally booked the photobooth for our wedding. Unlimited pictures for four hours, so the guests can take as many as they want. The company will come to the venue, set it up, stay to make sure there are no problems, and then take it down. I will also get a DVD of every picture taken, so that's cool. The company is "Red Eye" photobooth.

Very excited. Not to mention I will have a box of props next to the booth with awesome hats, glasses, mustaches etc.

Table Numbers

Since I bought fabric for my pennant banners and a bunch of small frames for my original seating chart idea (which I have since changed), I figured I could use the extra fabric and the frames for my table numbers instead.

all I did was glue the fabric triangles onto a piece of white cardstock and I used sticker numbers

Then I glued a piece of thin ribbon across the tops of the fabric and reframed the paper. Hooray for cute, tiny pennant banners that have the exact same fabric as the big ones!

Also, hooray for not wasting like 20 frames. Cute enough, especially when they will tie in with all of the other decorations.
