Wedding and Party DIY Ideas

There are so many ways to make a wedding or party more personal. I always find it impressive when someone takes the time to individually construct the favors, the flowers, or the decorations. I recall my fiance's cousin's wedding when each guest received one of the bride's amazing homemade cookies inside of a tiny box she constructed and adorned. While this might not always be easy, einvite offers templates for favors to print on cream or white cardstock, including the one shown below at einvite.com/favors. The individual terrariums (found on design*sponge) would be perfect for the green-thumbed crafter having a smaller wedding or event with a garden theme. Fiftyflowers.com offers mixes of coordinated wedding flowers at a low price to arrange yourself, and has all of the most popular blooms. Finally, the variation in color and size of the river stone "placecards" found on theknot.com makes for an interesting and fun display, and calls to mind the simple joy of bringing together all the different and unique folks you love on your big day.
