I've been busy trying to do some DIY things, and here are a couple of things I've done so far: 1. Asking my friends to by my bridesmaids.
I got the idea from Wedding Chicks http://www.weddingchicks.com/2011/08/03/will-you-be-my-bridesmaid/ I bought all the items, painted the boxes, printed cards written on Word, and embossed the card with the dress: outside of box:
inside items:
items assembled inside box: 2. Save the Dates I go the idea for boarding pass STD from previous brides here, but I didn't want them to be beachy. Sarah from Signatures by Sarah http://www.signaturesbysarah.com/ designed the boarding pass and interested in joining us tag, and they are awesome! I designed the ticket jacket, made the mini magnets on MagnetStreet, paper from Paper and More, envelopes from envelopemall.com, and printing at Office Depot. I love them!
