DIY table plan

So then Sarah decides that as well as the Peacocks and Pink she wants to add an element of the husband to be and herself. This involved the tables being named after their favourite holiday destinations and showing this on a map of the world. 

Sarah located the map herself on a holiday to Center Parcs and proudly gave it to me. Hats of to her it matched wonderfully as it was very pink!

To start with she gave me a list of all the destinations they had visited and I typed these up. Printed them onto a textured paper, from Inspire Me Papers which really added a extra special feel to them. 

I then mounted them onto dark pink paper which was then mounted onto pale pink card. 

A little pearl in the corner and a peacock stamp at the bottom completed the look and Sarah was pretty chuffed with them 

DIY pale pink and Sage invites

I decided to hand make my own cards and this is how they have turned out. Not too shabby, I'm really pleased at how easy it was and they have a personal touch. Do have to say I don't think I saved a huge amount of money on the day invites as we only have 28 to make-remember to count couples as one invite!

I started by ordering blank cards from Wedding Crafter, a awesome website which even has kits to make your own invites. Then using a bird punch that I got from hobby craft a put a bird in the bottom right hand corner, something I carried on into the evening invites. Then using some double sided craft tape, again from hobby craft I put either pink or sage green ribbon along the bottom. 

The stamp is from East of India and very reasonably priced, given the fact we want the wedding to be a party we thought the saying was very apt. 

A little pearl heart or plain pearl finished of the front. I hope you like them too xx
