We Met in a Bar

projects

With one month left I am quickly checking things off the list.

Gocco’d napkins… check.

Cake descriptions and bar menu (frames from ikea)… done.

Up next: programs and rehearsal dinner menu’s.

Also, I had one reader (hello!) ask about my shower thank you cards.  Both the ‘thank you’ and the little kitchen icons at the bottom are fonts that I found at dafont.com.  They have every type of font you could want, including lots of dingbats (the icons) and a lot of them are free. I hit up dafont before every project!  I also have a photo printer, which allows me to print border less (although I did not need it for those cards) and I bought the paper (pure white 4 bar) at Paper Source.  Being crafty is something that I got from my mother and I say that even if you didn’t grow up in a crafty household, you can do it too! Take classes (Michael’s offers them, as well as Paper Source and I am sure other places do too) buy craft books like Martha’s new one and just practice :)

They look great!

I wish that I would have had the space to gocco my napkins, but planning in a glorified studio apartment was a nightmare. In the end, it was worth every penny to pay for them!

I’m loving all of your projects. I’m a long-time reader, but lazy commenter.

I sooo wish I had a gocco, it would make my wedding crafting so much easier (either that or I would make it 10x more complicated, lol!). Also, I’m LOVING your bar menu! I hadn’t even thought of that! We are doing something similar in regards to our bar, so I will def be adding that to my to-do list! Good luck with the rest of your planning… your wedding day is soooo close!! :O)
