We totally fell in love with this precious place card idea that we saw on AlisonUlshoffer.blogspot.com. It's so perfect for so many of your pre-wedding parties and get-togethers. Those little details that are so memorable for an engagement party, bridal shower, bridesmaids' luncheon or rehearsal dinner. The best part about this project: it's pretty simple. (We even tried it at home!) All you really need are some wood veneers, a fun hole punch and some miniature cups (and any other accent pieces!). We're all about the birds but if they aren't your style, you can pick a hole punch design that works for you. Do you love this idea as much as we do? August 25, 2009

Who doesn't love those unexpected surprises? Especially the ones waiting for you at your table. Some brides get really creative with their table naming (we love that!) while others can add a little something and still get big cheers. Here's a really simple idea that involves letting your signature color and favorite pattern step in and act as a table number frame. Materials: Step 1: Remove original backing from frame.

We’re all about simple crafting ideas (especially those that make a big impact!). That’s why we love this amazing envelope liner kit that we spotted at Paper–Source.com. The best part about it is that you’ll get a template for pretty much every envelope size out there. Materials: Envelope Liner Template kit X-acto blade or scissors Glu Dots Paper Pencil Step 1: Place your paper pattern-side facing down. Trace your envelope liner on the paper. Step 2: Cut out what you’ve traced. Step 3: Insert your liner into your envelope. Step 4: Pop on some glu dots to keep it in place. August 14, 2009
We’re all about sprinkling personal details throughout your wedding day. And we love the idea of starting with the ceremony. Here’s a cute spin on the classic bamboo fan that Jordyn and Bradley put together for their celebration. The couple blew up one of their favorite snapshots and attached it to one side of a fan; ceremony details were included on the back. Yes, handwritten programs are totally acceptable. Stick them on a popsicle stick and create major wow. Have fun and pick more than one photo and really give your guests a treat. Images: Tec Petaja Photography August 12, 2009

Simply make your own cards with your guests’ names and table numbers. This couple added a personal touch by hand-stamping their guests’ names in cobalt blue ink, their signature color. They inserted them into the corks and lined them up. Simple and sweet.
