Hello WBC Brides to be,, My wedding is not until NEXT OCT but, i have to do something for it. I am planning to make my card box sometime this summer. I have to wait on my ceremony programs until the priest tells me ok with the time. Cant do the menu's because we havent decided on the food yet. Still not 100% on centerpieces.
what am i missing? PLease help me, i need to do something.
Things i can do now:
* stamp the Damask print onto the favor boxes
*make the tissue paper pomanders for ontop of favor boxes
*activity books for kids
*crayons for activity book ( planning to grab those at back to school time in sept.)
* make my card box
Please, for you brides that are closer to your big day, what are things you could of done sooner ??
Thanks!!
If you are using DIY tags for your wedding favors, you might want to start them. I used word art for hearts and a fancy font for our names and the date, glued rhinestones on them, cut them out and placed them on heavy paper, hole punched and placed ribbon through them...it took a long time. Or, maybe a nice scroll poem wrapped in pretty ribbon, or placed in little frames on your tables? A love poem, or one expressing thanks to your guests?
Is all of your music together? Another thing I waited to do regrettably. We had a DJ, but there's always songs we love or that are special to us the DJ doesn't have. How about making a cd of songs that are special to you and your HTB, and one with songs that remind you of good memories with family and friends? I listened to freestyle growing up, but most DJ's don't have much, if any of a selection of it.
Finding or writing poems and the perfect music can take a while.
For now, do samples of the things you get ideas on. Trust me, once you have the samples made, you will come up with even more ideas, and changes. If you wait too long, its harder to make the changes. Just do samples for now.
Start picking out spots where you want pictures. There was a beautiful staircase at our caterers that we missed the opportunity to get pics on. Make a list of the spots you want pics at and give it to your photographer (a top ten list maybe?). And don't forget to write down names of people you want to make sure you have individual pics done with. Who you think is important is not always who your photog. will.
The list goes on and on lol,,,,,a bride's work is never done! I think this is probably a lot all ready! Just some things to think about. The good thing is you have time. Don't forget to have fun!
