It's Wedding Season: DIY & Personalized Crafts

Wedding bells are ringing, love is in the air, and it's the perfect time to get creative with DIY and personalized crafts. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, adding a personal touch to your wedding decor can make the day even more special. Not to mention it’s budget-friendly and repurposable! 

Let's dive into some affordable and creative DIY wedding decor ideas that will not only save you money but also add a unique charm to your wedding.

Welcome Signs

Greet your guests with a beautifully crafted welcome sign. Traditionally, weddings feature printed or pre-made signs that, while elegant, can lack a personal touch. By creating a DIY welcome sign, you can customize it to perfectly match your wedding theme and add a heartfelt message. Using the VersaChalk Chalk Markers, you can create a stunning chalkboard sign that sets the tone for your wedding. Examples of messages include welcoming guests to your wedding, instructions for seating, or even a fun fact about the couple.

For inspiration, check out the stunning welcome sign created by our partner Chanel Wilson (@cypress_calligraphy_chanel). Not only does it welcome guests, but it also serves a dual purpose. Chanel’s sign informs guests that it is an unplugged wedding and invites them to sit on either side with a sweet message. This thoughtful touch ensures your guests are present in the moment and makes everyone feel included.

Table Signs

Table signs are a great way to add both functionality and style to your wedding decor. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as guestbook tables, gift tables, and goodie bags or giveaways. Creating your own table signs allows you to personalize each area of your wedding and ensure that everything is clearly labeled and beautifully presented.

Chanel has created stunning table signs that add a touch of elegance and charm to any wedding. Her guestbook table sign invites guests to leave their well-wishes and signatures, while her gift table sign directs guests to the designated area for dropping off presents. Additionally, Chanel’s goodie bag and giveaway signs ensure that guests know where to pick up their special tokens of appreciation.

Using our chalk markers, you can easily create your own beautiful and personalized table signs. These markers are perfect for adding intricate details and stylish lettering, making your DIY signs stand out.

Cocktail and Food Menus

Elevate your cocktail hour and dining experience with custom menus that showcase your selections stylishly. A popular choice is using a chalkboard menu, which adds a rustic and charming touch to your wedding decor. 

Chanel created both a beautiful cocktail menu and a detailed food menu. Her cocktail menu features hand-drawn illustrations and whimsical lettering, adding a playful and inviting element to the bar area. Meanwhile, her food menu highlights the wedding’s culinary delights with intricate calligraphy and detailed descriptions, enhancing the dining experience and guiding guests through the meal options.
