I pulled off a ton of diy projects for my wedding, but no one guessed they were my own creations. I designed and printed my own save-the-dates, invitations, favor tags, programs, pew cards and more.

The professional look was all because I stumbled upon a random website (www.truelovelogos.com) that offers a ton of different wedding monogram designs that you can personalize with your own info and they send you all the files you need for diy or to send to vendors.

I always make a point of mentioning them when a friend gets engaged — it’s just the neatest thing! Even if you don’t buy one, they’re fun to look at — I had trouble picking just one!

Happy planning, everyone!

So, here is some info on the coat check tags…

The fonts used are Bickham Script and Janson Text Roman Small Caps. The flourish was something the bride came up with on her own but she says that a great resource for flourishes is a book called Etcetera: Graphic Devices – ISBN: 0-442-24456-8.

Here is a quick tutorial on making them…

The paper is Crane’s 179 lb. Pearl White Cover (www.crane.com).

After printing, the pieces were trimmed using an x-acto and ruler. Then, using Fiskars 1/8″ hole punch she made a hole to place the eyelet.

Before adding the eyelet she scored each card so that the ticket could be torn evenly. To do this she used the Fiskars Rotary Paper Trimmer with the Perforating Blade (www.fiskarscrafts.com).

Then the 1/8″ eyelet is added by hammering it with a setter (www.impressrubberstamps.com).

She is going to send me a template of the tags tonight, and I will post them tomorrow.

I will also post additional pics of this project. All other project details will be coming soon!
