those look great sarah! i was thinking of you today because i was doing some iron-on stuff to some canvas bags that i bought for my MOHs and my mom- i cant beleive you did so many of them- 3 bags and i was getting tired! I also finshed our welcome letters, OOT bag labels, and attempted to start tweaking the vows the officiant sent- big wedding day for me too!

[Sarah]

Yay Nicole! We were working on the same stuff today:)
Today I made all the luggage tags (54) and finished all the OOT bags (10 iron ons). I also started working on the wording for the invites, and the pocketfolders should be here in a couple days so I can get them out in the mail. Now I'm brainstorming what to put on my program fans, timeline card, menus, and white fans. I'm finally getting to the fun stuff!

I ordered a ream of red metallic paper, champagne metallic paper, and platinum vellum last week and I'm just going crazy with it! lol

wow Sarah, you are really getting a lot done.

OK Sarah, you are seriously freaking me out! You are buying REAMS of metallic paper? There are 5 additional DIY projects you just mentioned....

Honey, do we need to stage a DIY Intervention?

[Sarah]

Yes, I have 300 piece of metallic cardstock and vellum laying around my house now. I think my printer will break before I can do everything I want to do! lol
Jeff says I should write a book, or do something with all this miscellaneous creativity. Although, the sad thing is that nothing is an original idea. It's just all stuff I've copied and made my own along the way.
DIY intervention- not until after the wedding, please! I have too much to do! lol

[A10CalGal]

Ok, ok, we'll wait till after the wedding. I guess I'm a little busy right now to stage an intervention anyway.

Seriously though, you have beautifully infused your own style & sense of creativity into these projects...sure you borrowed a general idea, but you so totally made it your own. I would say you have effectively branded your wedding! Ever consider getting into marketing?

[Sarah]

lol, thanks Christa! Actually, I often dream of what I will do when I get sick of being an RN (this is everyday, lol). I think marketing would be tons of fun. Maybe there's a niche somewhere for a marketing nurse? lol

Nice job on the luggage tags Sarah, I may have to steal that idea!

How about offering to help make photobooks with BDW Friends engagement photos?

Just an idea.

oohh sarah take me with you when you become a "wedding coordinator/RN". iwas proud of myself- i printed our TY notes with our monogram on the front, wrote my thank you notes to my sisters with their gifts, ironed on the bags, made the labels for our wedding invites, and made the labels to affiz to our OOT bags- my poor printer is about to poop out- i will post some pics- i am happy how everything turned out!
