Can you share what size you ordered our stamp?  It looks like it fit the coasters perfectly.

I know this an old thread but I wanted to share some post-wedding DIYs! 

 

Here is a shadowbox I put together with mementos from our wedding day. Included is our invitation, invitation envelopes (we actually sent one to ourselves to see how it would go through the mail, lol), cake topper, my hair flower, my earrings (sorry for the glare from the glass!), cocktail napkin, wedding ceremony program (all of our guests' names are listed on the back so this was super special to save) and our dinner menu. I love how this turned out and I love seeing it every day! The shadow box itself is from Home Goods and I got it on a great sale. I actually bought two in case I want to do this again for our first baby (someday!). 

 

 

Here is a little project I put together for my husband for our anniversary (OK - I admit it was just as much for me but it was still special!). It's an 8x10 of one of our wedding pics, and I printed the poem we read at our ceremony on transparency paper and put them together in this great frame from Pottery Barn. I love the poem so much and I literally get teary-eyed every time I stop to read it. It's a really special memory from our wedding day. 

 

 

Hope you enjoy my DIYs and have some more inspiration for your big day!!!

Wow, these are such inventive awesome ideas!!! I was thinking of customized flip flops with our names and date cut-outs. Some of your ideas may even be better. How long did it take for you to complete such grand DIY project? Did you DIY the items after arriving in Mexico or at home? Which site(s) you used for the wonderful props??? Thanks so much for suggestions.
