Can we all just agree that wedding invitations should be a keepsake, not just another expense? It’s easier said than done, I know, but invitations are one of the very first things to set the stage for your big day. And even though I wholeheartedly believe in making a wedding feel good without such a hefty pricetag, it doesn’t mean that your invitations have to suffer. These folded wedding invitations do it all. They’re interesting, they set the tone for your big day and they don’t cost a fortune. Plus your guests will love all the unique details that make them stand out, so they don’t simply get posted to the fridge, they’ll be cherished for years to come.

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 beginning of May means only one thing: we’re in the thick of wedding season. That’s both good and bad if you’re a soon-to-be-bride because, while it means that your wedding is only a few short months away, it also means that you only have a few short months to finish planning and tying up loose ends. And if we connect the dots here, that means it’s time to start thinking about invites (Hooray! We love invitations around here). Luckily for you, these DIY floral wedding invitations are both beautiful and easy to make. And they remind me of a classy garden wedding with a little upscale picnic action going on. Champagne + croquet, anyone?
Oh, and while I’m waxing poetic about DIY invitations, would you believe me if I told you that you can make them for less than $65? Yep! Not only are they gorgeously understated and elegant but they cost less than your average trip to Target. Miracles abound.

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.
Read on to learn how to make your own diy vow books.
