I'm marrying sort of a crafty guy. He knows his way around photoshop, can handle a pair of scissors, so when he told me he'd take care of the favors (CDs also posing as escort cards) I had faith he would produce something fantastic (just wasn't sure WHEN it would be done). Well he finally mocked up a prototype and needless to say, I'm quite proud!
The front.
The inside. The CD is laser-imprinted with some of our engagement photos and our wedding date, cool huh?

Also, what I like about these favors is that they have the person's name on it. So if at the end of the night, they leave them behind, I can come to their house and say "You didn't like my freaking favor?" and throw it in their face.
I think that would be good for Christmas time, don't you? No?
Other stuff done this weekend: wedding programs and menus. I can't claim any credit for the menus, which were masterminded and put together by the world's greatest Maid of Honor, Katie. The programs, also Katie's creation, were done in about 4 1/2 hours yesterday. By using materials we already had, as well as some free stuff I got on the sly, these two projects probably only cost $30? Maybe a little more for the print cartridge. They don't look super polished, but who cares? I like that comfy feel.
The terrible pics don't really do them justice, but a lot of you will see these in person in 19 days anyway!
