Activity for OregonEmily

I wanted something classy enough to be in a wedding, but not so "weddingy" that it would feel out of place at a tailgating party or in our backyard. We used this website for measurements and instructions: http://www.cornholehowto.com/ The whole...

First off, I'd like to apologize for no pictures of the actual hair trial, (I know that's what you all came here for!) though I did include my inspiration pic. My hair got to looking pretty terrible before I thought to take a photo. It looked pretty...

All in one day! It was a total success! 1) Venue visit. Our 2nd time at the venue. We visited to get a better lay of the land so we can start envisioning set up. We got a chance to ask the owners the list of questions we had and make our final...

I went to the post office yesterday to get my invites mailed off, as well as a random package. I was the only customer. The woman behind the counter asked me if these were wedding invitations, to which I replied, "Yes." As I was writing the address...

We are having lots of lawn games (bocce ball, croquet, disk golf, badminton, cornhole and a couple others) but we don't have anything for the little little kids (we will have four guests under the age of 6). Just stumbled on this when I wasn't even...

I don't want guests to get hungry after dinner is over and put away. I think it's especially important with people drinking. Are you leaving your buffet open so people can go back for food? I'm worried it would get dried out and nasty. I was...

The stats: 45 guests 35 of drinking age (although not all of them drink) 4-5 hour weekend evening reception expected temp range (outdoor wedding) 60-85 (but shade will always be available!) alcoholic: 48 Corona Lights with limes available 48 Amber...

This has been such a fun project and I'm really happy with the results. Cost breakdown; Frames: $4.50 (Love a good thrift shop!) Spray paint: $4.00 Printing: $12.00 For one 18x24, two 8x10's and two 5x7's. It took a lot of time playing with fonts and...

Lauren, another WW user, inspired me to design a chalkboard sign for the cupcake display. I'm not sure if I like it more with or without the banner. I feel like the banner adds visual interest, but the one without the banner has a much cleaner look...

3 Questions: 1) Which do you like most of the following; a) River stones b) Wood Slices c) Tags hung from a tree 2) Do you think guests will understand that they are meant to take the stones/wood slices/tags to their table? What kind of signage do...

Link to the previous post if you didn't see it and are interested in the details; https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/diy-hand-embroidered-woodland-napkins/f73130caf1dc06ce.html I was far from thrilled with the mushroom napkin, so I decided to...

I recently realized we don't have much color at our tables. With the biodegradable utensils and plates, succulents and woodland creatures, we only have very neutral browns and greens. This was my solution! Supplies; Cloth napkins DMC embroidery floss...

My first of many DIY posts! For those of you that don't know, our wedding is outdoors with a natural/woodland vibe. Supplies: 3 wood slices (varying size) Tree branch Wood glue 2 Flat-headed nuts 1 threaded metal bar (can you tell I don't know the...

I might be a fool. I keep taking on more wedding projects. Yesterday I decided to hand-embroider all of the napkins. "Dear Emily, please stop!" I've been pretty laid back about the process so far. But I'm starting to feel the pressure now. The "To...

We've arranged to have a coworker/friend that lives near us (two blocks away) pet sit while we are away honeymooning. We aren't asking her to do anything too involved; no litter cleaning (E.T.A. - She will have multiple little boxes to ensure...
