Some escort cards without the table numbers (we still need to figure out the seating chart). I gocco printed the boarders on papersource escort card paper. I don't trust my handwriting so I printed out the peoples names on the computer and transfered them to the cards with carbon paper and then traced over them with blue ink.

Wedding Crafts Sneak Peek
I feel like I have been spending almost all my free time working on wedding crafts, but I've been trying not to post too many pictures before the wedding. Here are a few semi completed projects.
Chalkboards I made from a thrift store mirror and picture frame. I painted the frames and spray painted the glass with green chalkboard paint. I think they will be drink and or food menus.

Number 10
I finished the last of the table numbers finally. I probably spent way too much time and energy on these, but I'm really happy with how they all turned out.
Whenever I am taking pictures the kittens have to try to get into the frame.

Our Invitations
We sent out our invitations already, and since we have started getting RSVPs back, I'm pretty sure that most of our guests, at least the ones in the US, have gotten them in the mail. It does seem a little bit early to be sending out invitations for a wedding at the end of July, but since it is a destination wedding for pretty much everyone, I don't think it hurts to send them out early. I really just wanted to get to check another thing off my list of wedding DIY projects. I got the card stock and envelopes from paper-source.com and designed and printed them myself with my print gocco. It took a long time and a bit of frustration, but I'm happy with how they turned out. I think they really set the tone for our wedding which will be very casual, DIY, and sea creature theme.

Polaroid
I really want to have a polaroid camera at our wedding and have our guests take pictures of themselves for a photo guestbook, The only problem is that they stopped making polaroid film a couple of years ago and buying the old stuff on ebay is really expensive. Supposedly The Impossible Project has bought the old polaroid film factory and is going to start making the film again. It is unclear exactly when or where this film will be available, so I probably won't be able to get it in time for our wedding.
Anyway, I found this incredible polaroid swinger camera from the 60's with the original box at an estate sale. I really wish we could use this but it takes black and white polaroid roll film that they probably haven't made for 25 years or more.
Check out this adfor the polaroid swinger.
