DIY Wedding Signs?

Yes. I made them. I actually used a template I built in publisher and then drew it with Sharpie. Have you looked at etsy to see if there are any you liked?

Those look great! I'm pretty unfamiliar with publisher, but I can play around with it, thanks for the tip. I have looked at Etsy and the signs are pricey. I've seen mirrors and frames for just a couple of bucks at thrift stores, so I know this way will be cheaper : )

Double post.

If you're doing a mirror or glass, you can use vinyl stencil and etching cream.

Free fonts from: www.fonts2u.com or www.dafont.com. Serach for Calligraphy fonts if that's what you like.

A really good site to get one free--and gorgeous--font per week is www.fontbundles.net

Also, just Google 'free calligraphy fonts' and you'll find a lot of great ones.

@ashley- I've never used Etching cream. That sounds interesting!! And thank you for the font websites.

You can buy etching cream at Michael's. It's easy to use, but be warned--if you're going this route, make sure you cover the rest of the surface that it's getting etched. It is permanent. If even a tiny bit touches an area you didn't want the etching cream, it will still etch. Use paper and tape to cover all non-etching areas. Good luck!

I use defont.com for all my script. If you're worried about getting the lettering on the mirror itself, get clear contact paper and trace the wording onto it, cut them out then stick it to the mirror and fill in. We use it all the time to etch glass pieces for cosplay and gifts.

Also look into purchasing frosted vinyl. If you don't have a Cricut or Silhouette craft machine, see if you can find an Etsy merchant who sells custom vinyl lettering and gives you the option of having it cut in a frosted vinyl. Shouldn't cost you more than $10 or so.

@AMV- if I get frosted custom vinyl, I could just get the words printed exactly how I want them to read and simply stick them on the mirror or glass?

@RosesAreRed that is a question you would have to ask the Etsy shop. One shop may offer customization while another doesn't. Search for 'custom vinyl cutouts' or something similar within Etsy.

I have a Silhouette die-cutting machine so I chose a font and cut it out in vinyl. If you don't have one, you can simply purchase vinyl stencils, whether that's from an Etsy shop or a brick-and-mortar shop that sells stencils. Or, like @Jaxz recommended, use contact paper and cut the text out yourself. Depending on the size of the font and the steadiness of your hand, that might be hard.

You could also just use paint and free-hand it. There are so many options. Have a friend that's better at painting than you? If she doesn't mind helping, thank her with dinner and wine.
