Here are the images of my Save the Date cards, which I am sending out in only two weeks, Thank God!! They are all printed out and ready to go, just waiting for my designated people to call me with their list of addresses. The info and picture on the card is much clearer in person! I have also included images of my centerpiece idea, which aren't the best images, but you'll get the idea. The calendar is a favor I designed for my sister. She wants to give them to the guests at the shower. The last image is the first sheet that I will use for the program, which will be the same layered design that bamabride is using. I changes everyday so by the time the program is complete, it may be entirely different!! Let me know what you think, any suggestions, thoughts, whatever!! Hopefully this works, if not, I'll just have to try again.

Ooops, I didn't realize the images were going to take up so much space! I thought they were going to show up as links. The S-T-D cards are actually a lot clearer than I thought they would be.

LOL...you have great taste!! I actually found the save the date idea on a website, don't know which one, and I decided it would save me some $$$ to design them myself, so I went ahead and did them on photoshop. I just had to pay to print them out, and I cut them myself.

Everything looks great TiffyB! You're on the ball. Nothing like a few DIY projects to save some $$.
Your website looks good as well. I signed the guestbook!
WOW!! everything looks sooo nice! I really like the programs with the monogram inital..that is going to be part of our reception-napkins, cake topper...where did u find the program theme?
Thanks for all of the comments. I haven't quite finished the website yet, but thanks for signing the guestbook FutureMrsKeepUp, I'll go and take a look at it. As far as my program theme, it was just something I came up with while playing around in Photoshop. Ever since I saw the layered programs on a website several months ago, I've been playing around with different ideas, and this is what I came up with for the first page. The monogram itself is just a font style in Photoshop, the quote is something I found online, and the rings are just a little something extra to add to the design of the layout. I guess I could also consider incorporating the "T" monogram elsewhere in our wedding/reception as you plan to do. Thanks for the idea!

I love the center pieces. I am thinking of something on the same line; but I want something with a low profile so it won't obscure the guest's view of everyone at the table.

Truly fabulous job TiffyB. Love the save the date cards. I'm still working on mine so I won't be posting it until it's done. FH and I have an appointment in DC on Friday to take our engagement portrait. We plan on using that picture on our save-the-date cards.
I love everything TiffyB. The centerpieces, the programs, wow, truly great!!!
Wow, your website is looking great. I'm also on mywedding.com, but we just started a few days ago. We'll be going back to turn the pages on so that my vibride sisters could view it and share in our planning details as well.
It looks great!!! Congrats!!!
Very Nice. I especially like the program covers.

Thanks everyone! I really love the DIY projects! They are just more personable as Mrsmoose mentioned, usually cheaper in the end, and overall just fun to do if you have the time! Let me know if there are any other DIY ideas that you all have. I've been reading some of the past posts to see if there is anything else I can do on my own, so I'll keep you posted! Tewright1, I'm hoping that my centerpieces don't cause too much of an obstruction for the guests at the table. That's something that I want to avoid as well. The vase is about 11" tall, so I don't think it will be too problematic!! Keep your fingers crossed!!

TiffyB, have you thought about doing a monogrammed aisle runner with the monogram from the program cover?
I definately want to do one of those, I saw a couple of pictures of some and they are extremely classy

After reading some of your posts in the last couple of days, I have been considering doing an aisle runner with the mongrammed T. My only problem with this, is now that I am back in school for the semester, I might not have the time to do it. Have any of you done one of these? If so, how difficult is it, and about how long did it take you? Thanks for the idea!

I haven't done mine yet. I'm actually doing a monogrammed table banner as well so I'll start with that since its smaller. I think the most time consuming part will be tracing the monogram or cutting out the monogram to create a stencil, whichever route you choose.
Tiffy, I love your ideas! Keep up the good work!

I like your DIYs. Great job!
How could I have missed this? TiffyB, everything is really nice! The centerpieces are really nice. I actually did my own centerpieces as well and I used the mirrors, candles and fishbowls that were engraved with our names and wedding dates. I gave them to guests as souvenirs.
I love your website, I just signed it.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
You have done a beautiful job!
Thank you ladies. Thanks for signing my guestbook also Rhony! I actually decided to change my centerpieces just a little. I decided to go with the oversized martini glasses instead of the glass used in the photograph. I will still use the mirrors, rose petals, and candles, so it really won't change that much. I just purchased the cardstock that i will use for the backing of my DIY layered programs. It is a shade of purple that is very close to my Victorian lilac. I will post the program once it is complete! I'm considering doing the DIY aisle runner, but that depends on how much free time I have:)

Thanks ladies! It's never too soon to start asiass! What is your exact wedding date? I became engaged in Oct 06, and our wedding date is March 15 of this year. I found my venue and began my serious planning in December of 06. You can get started on the DIY save the date cards, and any other DIY projects that you are able to get out of the way!
