3231 days agoChalkboards sounded easy enough - just print some fonts, trace them onto the chalkboard, and fill in with chalk. Not the case for me! One of the Hobby Lobby chalkboards I got had a glossy finish and was very difficult to draw on with chalk. By the...

3249 days agoI made my own liners for my envelopes (no inner envelope, just outer) and am stumped about the best way to seal it. If I wet the seal to glue it shut, I worry that most people will just rip along the top and never see the liner. This may be a dumb...

3260 days agoI ordered my dress back in January and it has been stored in the bridal shop since March. I have gained a little bit of weight since ordering my dress, and I have been anxious that it wouldn't even come close to zipping up. I finally bit the bullet...

3265 days agoThere are a few things I am trying to DIY for our wedding, some of which have turned out well and others complete failures. Most recently, I decided I would make my own set of cords on a ring for our strand of 3 cords ceremony (online they started at...

3278 days agoWe are coming down to the wire and need to get the groom and groomsmen outfits picked out and rented. FH refuses to wear anything but gray or black as far as the suit or tux (not much of a preference on the style of suit/tux though). He also can't...

3298 days agoWhat is awesome in your life? For me, I found out yesterday that I have a good chance of getting a decent sized raise. I work as a catering director at a private college, so our main client is basically the school. I guess there was a meeting...

3299 days agoWe are doing a strand of 3 cords ceremony for our unity ceremony, and am having the hardest time finding the right song. We have a guitarist who would play and sing the song, and he can do almost anything. I am wanting a contemporary or traditional...

3307 days agoAre any of you wearing a special perfume for your wedding? Awhile back, I read somewhere about wearing a special perfume on your wedding day and then only wearing on special occasions like anniversaries, etc. I thought this was a neat idea since...

3312 days agoWe are having our reception in a barn in September (in Iowa). Mosquitos shouldn't be too much of a problem by the end of September, but I want to make sure bugs aren't an issue. Did you do anything to prevent bugs at the entrance or inside?

3331 days agoThis ended up being a lot more work than I anticipated (due to making a stencil with some small detail), but I love how they are turning out. We are making mason jar drinking glasses for the guests to use during the reception and then take home as...

3352 days agoIs anyone making ribbon wands for guests to wave after the ceremony? I like the idea, but after looking around it seems really expensive. Any tips for making them or places to find the supplies for cheap would be appreciated. Also, is anyone doing...
