a different kind of guestbook - wedding

Josh is a HUGE Dallas Cowboys Fan and we wanted to do something different for our guestbook (and pretty much every other part of our wedding).  We decided to do a jersey!   Everyone was invited to sign our jersey - which we ordered online in an XL.  The name bar says 'July' and the number is '9'.

If you are interested in the free template we used for the sign that stood next to the jersey - you can find it here

wedding table numbers

There are a lot of creative table numbers.  Some people use places they've traveled, some use their favorite foods, we used numbers.  Plain old numbers.  But we dressed it up a bit.  We used our engagement photos and framed each of them.  We had people at the end of the night taking them home!

If you are interested in the free template, you can find it here.

some other wedding projects with templates

If you are getting married, you need to check out Vistaprint.  I got so many free things for our wedding day.  Here are a few things we ordered..... 

Lawn Signs - we used our monogram text/colouring for these and put them out to direct people to our ceremony site. 

Interested in the template?  Send me an quick email and I'll get it off to you.  paperjoli@yahoo.com

Photographer List of Shots - a good list of all the shots we wanted to capture! You can find it here.

Thank You Banner - a great banner to take a photo with and use for your thank you cards.  Again, ordered it for free at vistaprint. 

If you would like the free template, you can find it here

Sandal Basket & Tags

We had a sandal basket so everyone could switch out of their heels and into some comfy flip flops.

If you are interested in the template for the tags I used on the sandals, you can find it here.

personalized water bottles - wedding

Well, it turned out to be a cooler day than we would have hoped for but perfect for us.  We decided to have personalized water bottles at the ceremony and reception.

They looked great and were super easy to do.  All we did was:
-  Remove old labels from bottles
-  Create the label  If you want to copy ours, you can find the free template here.
-  Cut them out
-  Cut packing tape the right length
-  Stick onto the bottle

Loved how these turned out! <3

wedding stationary - invitations

Wow, wedding invitations ended up being a HUGE project.  At first, I thought I wanted to purchase a template but then I decided to get creative and design the darn things.  We got so many compliments on them and I think we have Cards & Pockets to thank for that.  Their pocketfolds and printing is beautiful and they are so easy to work with.  Best part, their prices are actually affordable! 

Here's what ours looked like...

We did a custom map and wrap around labels, which I thought were the coolest thing ever!  I found out afterwards that you can order custom stamps here. 

I decided after I put so much work into them, that I would pop them up on etsy and sell the template in case anyone was looking for something similar.  You can check them out along with a few other designs here. 

personalized wedding - monogram

One of the first things I worked on while wedding planning was a personalized monogram.  It was lots of fun to create once I knew our colors. 

If you are interested in a high resolution copy of this monogram customized for you, please send me off a quick email and I should be able to send you one.  paperjoli@yahoo.com
