Invitations
I TOTALLY stole the design/idea from another CO knottie (littlemissgreeneyes) with her permission and then added my aspen leaf stamp. I love how they turned out!
Personalized RSVP Cards
Since I made my own invitations, I wanted to add a personalized touch & made specific RSVP cards for each invitation. Although we weren't too worried about guests bringing extra (non-invited) people, this might be a good option for those brides who are worried about this sort of thing!
Escort Cards
Here are pictures of our escort cards...with different color mats to indicate meal choice. Check out "details" page to see how they will be displayed (in aspen tree trunk logs) :)
Reserved Seating Signs for the Ceremony and Bride & Groom Signs for our Chairs at the Reception
My mom & I made these the weekend she flew out to Denver for my shower. We spent a while trying to figure out how to tie them on the chair (I couldn't think of anything but a bow & the bows looked lame)...my mom came up with the idea of tying them like a men's tie & I LOVE it! :-)
Menu Cards
These are our menu cards. I can't wait to see them folded into the napkins on the tables at the reception. :) This was technically an unnecessary DIY project b/c our venue does menus (but they are plain, have the venue's logo on them & I wanted the menus to match all of our other paper projects for the wedding so I spent a night cutting & pasting these all together during a marathon of Project Runway on Bravo! :) BTW, I put an embossed aspen leaf on the back of each menu to tie it in with all of our other wedding stationary.

My save the dates
My mom and I made these. I ordered magnets from pioneercolor.com and then my mom helped me make bookmarks for them as well. Everyone who got them said they loved how unique they were & it was so funny that each couple/family we went them to had someone who loved the bookmark & someone who thought that the magnet was the coolest part. (I personally love how our magnets turned out!!!)
