Knot-Inspired Timeline Card

I just can't seem to get enough DIY paper products! I have a blast putting them together. So, I was searching photo galleries on wedding websites and found this timeline card on http://theknot.com/ :

I LOVE the design! I kept it very similar but customized to our times and colors and ta-da:

So much fun! VIPs will receive a copy of the card, like the wedding party, the vendors, and out-of-town guests will get one in their OOT gift bags. More wedding-paper-goodness to come...

OOT Bag Insert - Personalized Wedding Crossword

We are putting together gift bags to put in our out-of-town guests' hotel rooms. Among other things like personalized water bottles, wedding itinerary & newsletter, I thought it would be fun to make a crossword with clues about Bill and I. Some of the clues include: Bill & Katie's fave mafia movie, Bill & Katie's fave football team, and restaurant where Bill & Katie had their first date. It was fun to put together! Just pick some questions about you, fiance, wedding party, etc. and plot out the answers on grid paper both vertically and horizontally, making sure to overlap same letters in different words like a real crossword! I blacked out the remaining squares on the grid, scanned it to a publisher doc. and typed the heading and clues, and inserted pictures. Find out how much your guests really know about you! Guests will get a kick out of it, too!

Vintage Wedding Goodness - My Something Old

I have raved about handmade items on http://etsy.com/ before. My one of a kind wedding bands were purchased from jewelerjohn's shop just recently. Did you know they sell vintage items in addition to handmade? Just out of pure curiosity did I decide to browse through vintage evening bags and stumbled upon a beauty! You must check out this etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollywoodVintageGlam . Awesome finds. So here is the vintage bridal bag I am going to use as my something old:

I can't wait to receive this in the mail! It's so totally me! I will update you as to the level of customer service I receive from the seller later.
