DIY Keep Warm Blankets
Even though Libby and Patrick’s wedding was in the late Spring, because it was on a rooftop garden, the temp could get pretty chilly. So we found some simple, white blankets at IKEA for $3.99 and adorned them with cute tags and pink ribbon. Instant adorableness without making much of a ding in our wallets. This is the easiest DIY on the planet and we’ve provided templates to make it even easier!

To make our Keep Warm Chevron Print tags, download this template. Using a color printer and 80lb white card stock, print out as many sheets as needed. Cut just inside the light gray lines and punch two small holes at the top left corner of your card. Wrap your ribbon (we used 1″ grosgrain) around your blanket then thread the ribbon through the holes from the backside of the card, forward. Tie in a cute bow and voila!
We stacked our blankets in groups of threes around the lounge areas of the reception space.
Color Options. We’ve done templates in a small handful of other colors. Click here for yellow, here for sky blue, here for orange, here for navy blue, here for kelly green. These are the only colors that we will do unless there is an overwhelming request for another hue.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous touch!
What fonts did you use for Keep Warm? Love the combination!
Awesome idea, and especially more awesome for the price
Cheers Gerard
DYI where possible is a great way to save money and still have a wonderful wedding. Another great idea for money saver that I might add is to buy your flowers in bulk. Bulk purchases greatly reduce the cost of some staple wedding items.
What is the font name you used for Warm? I believe it was also used for Yummy on the menu cards. I love it!
Hi Camille. It's called Burgues. http://www.sudtipos.com/fonts/97
The blankets are nice too... they're big and the fabric is decent for the price... you probably couldn't get it at the fabric store for less?! I'm getting about 20 (for my 200+ person wedding) having my future mom-in-law embroider our monogram and the date on them - family members can bring them home!
The blankets are definitely a great touch in an outdoor reception. If you have already created your party favors, or are choosing to forego that element, the blankets are also greatly appreciated at local charities; check out http://blog.onelove-photo.com/derek-lauren-san-diego/ to see it done in this beautiful San Diego spring wedding. Contact your local homeless or women's shelter to do a good deed after your special day.
This is such a great idea esp for a winter wedding! I really like it
I love this idea and am thinking about doing this for my wedding ceremony in Yosemite in October. Do you know how "linty" these blankets are and if they will leave our guests looking for lint rollers? :)
OMG! I love this idea! My wedding is late spring - 6/11/11 and I wasn't sure how to keep my BMs warm - this is absolutely perfect. Just downloaded the templates and will be going to IKEA on Sunday!
Thank you (times this by a million for all the other wonderful and inspiring ideas you share!)
The reception was held at the Santa Barbara Museum. So beautiful.
