In a big way. It’s the perfect handcrafted details, the loving touches that you made while watching TV in your living room, the moments of cutting and pasting, of stamping and sticking…that really bring the charm to a wedding. And when it comes to DIY projects, it’s the invitations that completely set the tone. So when Vistaprint approached us about giving away a complete wedding invitation package geared towards the DIY bride, well…we jumped!

Vistaprint, a go-to stop for printing wedding products is gifting one lucky reader their Wedding Essentials package which includes 100 pieces of the following…

Wedding RSVP Cards / Wedding Enclosure Cards / Wedding Invitations / Wedding Thank You Notes / A-2 Wedding Envelopes / A-2 Wedding RSVP Envelopes / 6 x 9 Wedding Envelopes / Wedding Menus / Wedding Programs / Wedding Place Cards / Free Shipping

Yep. A total value of nearly $600! So if you are in the market to design your own invitations and really put your style stamp on your big day, this is totally for you. Or if you want to snag one of Vistaprint’s pre-made lovelies. Either way, just leave a comment below as to what DIY projects you are considering for your own affair and you’ll be entered to win!

Seriously too long. So, it’s time for another Wedding Do-It-Yourself Contest! Whether it’s a gorgeous invitation, a perfect favor or just about anything else that made (or is going to make) your wedding that much more unique…we want to see it!

This insanely fabulous DIY project was crafted by the OH (emphasizing the OH)-so-fabulous Ez of Creature Comforts…

do-it-yourself wedding favors

For the complete instructions on these brilliant custom candy bars, check out Creature Comforts. I promise, it’s worth the trip…Ez’s blog is filled with adorable DIY projects (including free templates and instructions…love that), great craft finds, wardrobe inspirations and so so much more.

Okay, back to the contest! All we need is a series of how-to photographs sent as jpeg attachments, along with step-by-step instructions as to how to complete the project (in the body of the email). All images need to be at least 600 pixels across. If you don’t have step-by-step photographs, just send the end result! Email entries to abby@stylemepretty.com.

I am going to choose my favorites to go up on the blog and will choose a winner with the help of a panel of guest judges. All entries must be received by October 15th. We’ll announce the prize a little later in the week.

If you have questions, just leave a comment and I will make sure to answer!

Today is a great day for me…not only do we have a new baby girl, Audrey Elizabeth (born a week ago Monday), we are also celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary! My husband, Tait, is incredible and I have fallen in love with him all over again since the birth of our little girl.

So, to celebrate life, love and everything weddings, we thought we would take today to announce our latest giveaway! Together with Beau-coup, the incredible favors company that we are featuring today, we are offering one lucky reader a $500 gift card to buy their favorite favors! All you have to do is answer a couple of questions that will help both SMP and Beau-coup understand what your bridal loves are…

1. In SMP’s honor…what would you like to see MORE of on SMP? Real Weddings, DIY projects, Inspiration Boards or more practical tools like printable checklists and such. Anything goes, we are just looking for good, constructive ideas!

2. And in Beau-coup’s honor…what will you buy with the $500 gift card to Beau-coup? We love to get a feel for what our readers are loving, so spend a minute browsing the Beau-coup site to see what you would put your money towards!

I love, love, love the products that Beau-coup is putting out there. They have a huge selection, and I have to say, a really beautiful array of favor ideas. Here are some of my favorite wedding favor picks…

And, the gift packaging ideas are awesome. LOVE the nests below…

Winnie, of Beau-Coup, will choose the winner over this next weekend so make sure to get your entries in by midnight (PST) on Friday. Both questions must be answered to qualify. We will announce the lucky bride or groom on Monday!
