Puzzling Programs

For most brides, their wedding programs are an afterthought. Something that's thrown together at the last minute, once all the little details have been confirmed with their church, and the end product isn't original and its usually tossed the second the guest leaves the ceremony. Why not come up with a fun and creative idea to add something memorable to your program? This bride and groom had a wedding themed crossword puzzle printed on the back of their program!

There are endless possibilities for little additions to your programs, crossword puzzle, word search, maze or even Sudoku! Check out this Wedding Bee link for some fun program ideas.

Fun with Fonts

I love playing around with fonts when creating invitations. They add a little pizazz to your invites, the right amount of whimsy, fun or goofiness can let guest know what they are in for! When I work on wedding invitations, I try to stick with two fonts, any more than that and it just becomes too chaotic.

One of my favorite free font websites is www.fontfreak.com, you are able to browse through thousands of fonts and download them for free! Sometimes the perfect font can set the stage for a whole event!

Save the Date

How adorable are these Save the Dates? I love creative wedding announcements! This is definitely your creative outlet for your wedding, especially if you are going to have a more formal ceremony/reception and want to keep the invites traditional. Remember to have fun, let your personality shine through and that you don't always have to include an engagement photo.

Red & Aqua

How fun is this color combination?! It takes two of the best colors and throws them together in unpredictable fabulousness!! Red, hello, it stands for everything romantic, and when I see aqua, it makes me think of Tiffany's, home of a girls best friend! When planning your wedding, try out different color combinations and see what you come up with. Something might sound totally weird in your head, but when you start putting together flowers and dresses and invites, it all magically comes together! Your wedding is a time to show your true colors so why not have fun with it! Thanks to I Do Flowers for the link! Photo from Project Wedding.

Valentine's Day

One of my favorite holidays is just around the corner, it's the best day for hopeless romantics like myself, its Valentine's Day! About 99% of the population believes it's only a Hallmark holiday, created for the card companies to make some extra cash during the winter months. But to me, it's a day that was made for lovahhhhs and saps like yours truly! =) It's the most romantic day to get married, engaged or host a sweetheart dinner, there are so many fun and creative ways to design your invitations, decorate and bake...hello, red velvet!
