Not really MY project...
My FMIL made our FG basket and RB pillow with the fabric from our table squares and runners for us and I LOVE them! I am so excited with how they turned out! You can see the table runners that she made hanging the back :)
(It's hard to see all of the detail from my phone pics, but the ribbon says "tie the knot" and they have little pearls and bows on them and buttons on the basket)

Hangers for the ladies...
I love all of the hangers everyone makes for their girls, but I did not want to mess with wire...so I bought a pack of white wooden hangers from Ikea, glittery black stickers from Joann's and a couple of paint markers. They took minutes to make, super cheap, and I think they turned out great!
Table Numbers
Illuminated! This was my mock up and I love it! Now to make 24 more :)
Great idea, but not going to do this after all...not enough time.

Card Box
I am hoping to make our own Damask style card box...no plans/supplies yet! Here are some ideas...
Fast-forward a month or 2 later. I was shopping at Michael's today (Sept) and found the box shown here (I thought someone made that one on their own) on sale and with a coupon, I got it for less than I would've spent buying all of the supplies! yay :) It matches perfectly with our table runner/squares fabric!

The Unity candle I made very quickly. Not crazy about it, but will be fine. This was one detail that isn't super important to me. Will do plain white tapers.
Favors
We are going to make and bag sugar cookies in the shape of a bone with a sticker/card below. Designed with CM and printed on business cards from Vistaprint for free.
253 cookies packaged and ready to go!
Memorial Candles
(Inspiration pic) I will be making in-memory candles to honor my little brother who passed away in 2003 at the young age of 7 and for the grandparents Matt and I have lost.
Photobooth Props
Just got done carefully cutting out mustaches and lips made from thick felt. I'll glue them to sticks and voila!
I have also collected funny glasses, empty frames, boas and chalk boards.

Aisle Runner
Not "my" DIY, my friend did this for me, I think it turned out great!
