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!!
Oh so cute! I love that you could make this for a wedding and the use it when a baby comes along. Fun!
So Fun! One of my youngest sisters is getting married next year… I am thrilled and excited, but it really does make you feel "old" lol
I did all my wedding stuff from pintrest I was in heaven !!! We did a tiny beach wedding in Outer Banks, NC and I was so crafty and it was cheaper !! Love that banner !! Laci @ Sequins in the South
This is so cute! I'd love to make one for my kids' playroom!!
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!
So sweet! I hope your little sister's big day goes perfectly!

OOOoooh I love, love, love it!!
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.
wedding annoucments yay!! I can't wait to see more!
Everything will be beautiful and it will be the best day ever ;)))
Very Cute!! Thank you for Sharing!
I would just keep this sign up all year long. Why shouldn't every day be the best day ever? lol. It's really cute. very nice! 🙂
So beautiful! Love how artsy you are!!
I know, right? It bums me out, but it's probably a good thing, lol.
I bet that was so beautiful Laci! It can save you a ton of cash by doing things yourself!
Ohhhh yeah, in bright colors! That would be awesome!
I agree, it's a complicated relationship I have with Pinterest, but overall we're besties. 😉
Thanks so much! 🙂
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!!
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. 🙂
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!!
I love this! Wish I had a cameo!
Love this and have several different versions pinned as well! Looks like it turned out great!
Agreed Natalie!
People seemed to like it, good luck making yours, I bet it will be great! 🙂
I do really love mine, although we seem to have somewhat of a love/hate relationship, lol.
