“best day ever” sign

Table of Contents

My little sister’s wedding day is fast approaching, and as if seeing my own friend’s little sisters growing up and getting married didn’t make me feel old enough, now I’m going through it too.
Le sigh.
But it has been really fun and exciting for me to watch her going through all the preparations for the big day… even if she is a ball of stress #blessherheart.
I’ve had lots of fun designing her invites for her bridal shower and helping out with that, and also designing her wedding announcements (can’t wait to share those with you!), so now I just have a couple small odds and ends I’m helping with for her bachelorette party and the big day, squeal!
One of those things was cutting out a sign using my Silhouette Cameo. This “Best Day Ever” sign was pinned on her Pinterest board and when I saw it I knew that was something I could easily take on for her!
This was one of those projects that was hard to get a good picture of, lighting and the overall scale of it were not working in my favor. I used full sheets of 65 pound gray cardstock, so each letter is about 9 inches tall. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some better shots at the reception.

Projects like this still have me wishing that Pinterest had been around when I got married! Although with only two months to plan a wedding, I probably took on plenty as it was, lol.

Did you do a lot of DIY for you wedding?

    If Pinterest was around when I got married, my wedding would have been so much different! Mason jars, chalkboards…oh the possibilities!!

    Great sign and Pinterest is da bomb! Ok, honestly I have a love/hate relationship with it. But when I do have energy and time, it's the best!

    Now I am thankful I am never ever ever ever EVERRRR (cant stress that ever enough!) getting married again because I was just like your sister and completely stressed! Looking back I don't know why, I should've calmed down, everything was perfect but its easy to say that now hehehe

    My mom did a ton of DIYs for my wedding I really do need to gather up some photos and make a post about it because shes the DIY queen.

    Everything will be beautiful and it will be the best day ever ;)))

    I know, right? It bums me out, but it's probably a good thing, lol.

  16. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 9:55 pm #

    I bet that was so beautiful Laci! It can save you a ton of cash by doing things yourself!

  17. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 9:55 pm #

    Ohhhh yeah, in bright colors! That would be awesome!

  18. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 9:56 pm #

    I agree, it's a complicated relationship I have with Pinterest, but overall we're besties. 😉

  19. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 9:57 pm #

    Thanks so much! 🙂

  20. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 9:58 pm #

    It's been funny because she has been handling everything so differently then I did when I got married… which is fine because everyone's different, but I am kind of like, "you ARE excited, right?" LOL.
    And yes to a wedding post from you! I wanna see!!

  21. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 10:00 pm #

    Good point Heather. 🙂 I might make one on a smaller scale for my house, this one really is huge and I'm not sure where I'd keep it up all the time. 🙂

  22. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 19, 2015 at 10:00 pm #

    I know, me too, but probably smaller, lol.

    That is so cute! I love it. I had a very short engagement too and it was all DIY! Looking back there were some things I wish I would have had professionally done (like the flowers), but the rest I still really love. It made the event unique and special.

    That is the cutest banner that I ever did see!!

  25. Becky Brunner June 24, 2015 at 1:32 pm #

    I love this! Wish I had a cameo!

  26. KayMil June 24, 2015 at 1:39 pm #

    Love this and have several different versions pinned as well! Looks like it turned out great!

  27. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 29, 2015 at 12:22 am #

    Agreed Natalie!

  28. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 29, 2015 at 12:22 am #

    People seemed to like it, good luck making yours, I bet it will be great! 🙂

  29. Justine Y @ Little Dove Creations June 29, 2015 at 12:24 am #

    I do really love mine, although we seem to have somewhat of a love/hate relationship, lol.
