Working on wedding stuff, any ideas welcome!!!

I REALLY need to get my save the dates done! That's actually the reason I went to the craft store, but I couldn't quite wrap my head around how I was going to print the information on homemade cards. So...I still have to work on that, but I found this project while I was there!

My colors are white, red, and black. These flowers are fairy easy to make and they will only cost about $.30 each! I'm allergic to a lot of flowers, specifically roses (they make my nose bleed!), and I really don't like the idea of being in a room full of flowers all night, so I think this should help me out :)

Any ideas on making your own decorations/save the date/invitations/etc PLEASE share! Pictures would be great!

Oh, and do you think I should leave the color layer how I have it for all the flowers, or switch it up and have slightly different white/red/black flowers?

Is the paper made as well? One thought on homemade cards that are not on traditional paper and or something that will not feed in an inkjet system of some sort is to design the information you want and have a rubber stamp made it can be quite good if done well and gives a hand made look and feel to cards the other idea that is a bit more complex is have letter press type done and actually just emboss the paper it is beautiful (but can be hard to read depending on the paper and type and depth of the embossing) Just my passing thoughts.

Have you tried Pinterest? My girlfriend is constantly raving about it an all the cute ideas. I hope I didn't lose man points on this one..

Oh no, I didn't make the paper. It's card stock paper, I actually got it to make the invitations and the 'save the dates', but got side tracked on this project. I was wondering if having a stamp made would be the easiest thing to do. I really wish I had better hand writing!

I have heard about it and checked it out a couple times. I might have to do some more searching on that site. And your man points are fine, as long as you aren't submitting your own crafts, but if it makes you happy, go for it!

you should have a wedding dress with snakes embroidered around the edges! and little snakes in your hair!

Yes, I do agree with you ! pinterest is the best idea for wedding stuff.

I would suggest RUN!!! Just kidding, my wife has an ap called instigram and loves it. She has found lots of ideas from the people on there.

I have nothing to contribute other than congratulations! :D

You could make duct tape roses?
It comes in like every color so you can get pretty creative with it lol.

Lol, it would be sweet! I don't think my extended family would go for, they already aren't exactly impressed that I rented the fairgrounds for it :P My close family and anyone that knows me well think it's great! I have a lot of rich snoody people in my extended family...

I took some ideas from you guys, batted around some ideas at work with the girls, and got started on the "save the dates"! It will cost me $30 to make 200 of them! The invitations will be double that size and maybe have a ribbon/bow on it.

And I know a lot of you have seen this, but for giggles :)

He proposed to me at his benefit -he had testicular cancer (our 6 year anniversary is coming up next month)

This is after he got better, he promised me he would start trail riding with me, but this was the last time he rode...a year ago!!! Oh well, you can't win them all.

I got my wedding boots about a year ago, I'm starting to get excited and anxious!
