Photoshare cards
Preview, and actual photoshare cards, which I ordered at www.123print.com. I got the wording from another DIY Knottie. They came out great! I used a heavier weight for the cards, but it still wasn't expensive.
Save the Dates
We did these on www.vistaprint.com. They are standard postcard size, although we'll send them in envelopes anyway. The back has our wedding website address on it. I did this for free, since vistaprint has amazing sales all the time through their email sign up. Total: $10 for shipping!
Votives
I've been considering doing vellum damask wraps on votives, or something similar to that, and inspiration struck at Michael's. I found a gorgeous green ribbon with a flower pattern, which exactly matches what I've envisioned all along for the green. First, I measured out a length of ribbon, cut it, then folded over one end and hot glued it so it would have a 'finished' look. Then, I hot glued the opposite end to the glass, wrapped it around, and hotglued the finished end on top of the beginning. Easy project!
Invites!
Our invites are DONE! Printed and ready to go! I'm so excited- they look better than I imagined they would as a finished product. We used Scriptina for the names, and Copperplate Gothic Light for the rest of the wording. This continued through our info and RSVP cards as well. All of the wording (besides the names) was done in brown, since the accents on the invites, as well as the 'envelopes', are brown.
I love how the info and RSVP cards came out!
Dyed crinny!
This is my latest project, and I'm super excited about it. I ordered my crinny on Ebay. Well, actually I ended up with two, but that's because the slip I ordered is really two or three sizes smaller than the tag says. The second has a drawstring waist, so I'm ready to roll!
I really want a splash of color, like Knottie Nabi123's crinny (down below). I think she used the wine color Rit dye, and I think that's really what I want as well.
UPDATE- The crinny has been dyed! If you go up to the navigation bar and hover over the DIY, a menu with the crinny info will come down. Lots of pics, and tips from my experience!

BM bracelets
I made bracelets for my BMs as part of their gifts- but they were not required to wear them for the wedding. I believe one or two of them did wear theirs, though.
