With a wedding comes a lot of stationery. It seems just about every festivity has a corresponding invite and etiquette rule (oh, do we know!). So it’s no wonder that between choosing, ordering and sending all of your wedding stationery, you’re about ready to throw in the towel and elope. And to make matters worse, most timelines and checklists have waaaay too many to do’s (um, bridal shower invites? Girl, pass those off to your bridesmaids with a hug and a thank you). If you’re more the Cliffs Notes type like me, here is a simplified wedding stationery timeline to talk you down off the ledge and get you back to the fun part of wedding planning.
Oh, and don’t forget to grab your printable checklist (it’s totally f-r-e-e). Just sign up at the bottom of this post and we’ll send you the link.

Here’s a fun DIY to get you in that Friday spirit (not that you needed my help or anything). The idea for these came from a friend of mine who got married a couple years ago. She and her hubby had a rather nontraditional wedding, and when it came time for them to walk down the aisle as husband and wife, all the guests waved flags, banged on little drums and blew kazoos. It was pure magic and so. much. fun. And with that, these fabric program flags were born! In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make your own program flags using our (free!) wedding program template.

The other day I was perusing the BHLDN website when I saw a pair of cute vow books. Have you heard of these? I didn’t even know these were a thing until I stumbled on them, and let’s just say now I’m super smitten. My husband and I didn’t write our own vows, but having a darling pair of notebooks to write them in might have changed things. So I designed the DIY vow books of my dreams–thick textured cardstock, calligraphy, dreamy ribbon, the works–and thought I would share the template with you for your own wedding.
