• Ceremony ideas: A very easy way to set a sweet, romantic and rustic tone to your ceremony would be to create some signs around the ceremony grounds. You can do signs like "Welcome" or "Wedding" with an arrow. These can easily be painted on a piece of wood. Here is an example. This helps with your decor and help guests that may be coming out of town or unfamiliar with the area.

• Place cards: Don't be boring like everyone else. Use your place cards in a unique way that shows off your style. Two really neat ideas that I found surfing pinterest is ting your place cards around the neck of a beer bottle or the neck of a wine glass. Its classy but fun. It says "Let's Party!"

Sometimes, its better to make these little trinkets yourself. This will make you remember your day even more and make it even more special! DIY Weddings have been around for a long time but just got the name "DIY". Happy Planning!
