Sorry, I forgot to upload new pictures yesterday. But, today you get to see a lot of progress from the weekend! Here is the typewriter table that I showed you before.  It is now finished and detailed!

Once I finished the second coat of white spray paint I arranged cardboard scrap-booking stencils in the placement I liked.  I traced and filled the stencils with a paint pen.  These little guys work great!  I have used it on a couple of projects now and it always does the trick.  I think it is super cute and ready to be used!

His TYPE Of Bride!

I have just the cutest ideas going on here.  I wanted to add some vintage inspiration to the wedding, but didn’t want to overwhelm with it.  I figured it out!  Vintage typewriter keys!  We have decided to give our groomsmen and other males in the wedding cufflinks with their initials made from vintage typewriter keys.  They are cute and affordable.   The same company makes necklaces which could be given to the ladies in the wedding.

There are other ways in which we could incorporate the keys into the wedding as well.  We could use them to announce which table guests are seated at, or other embelishments.  We have also been considering using an old typewriter at the reception for guests to type us a personalized note!

I think these ideas are so adorable!  We will have to sort out which ideas to use in order to not go overboard, but we are definitely getting the cufflinks for groomsmen gifts.  What do you think?
