DYI Mondays: Fonts and Images

Do you want to make your own invitations, place cards or thank you cards but can’t find the right image or font in your clip art folder?

I know I have felt like that many a time until I found several websites I could either download free fonts or buy the ones I liked to

Use throughout my many DIY projects.

Some of my faves:

DIY Mondays: Love Doves

What a cute way to display your place cards ! 

Click here for the original article and template found on The Wedding Co.

Create whimsical name cards that add to your décor.

One of our favorite ways to easily and inexpensively tell your guests where their seats are without being predictable.

 Love Doves are easy to customize by changing their color, size or even their shape: use our white dove design to inspire your own flight of fancy for the project.

 At the end of your event, your guests will eagerly pocket the doves, they make adorable mementos of an evening.
