Busy with all our DIY projects

Nick and I are doing a lot of DIY for our wedding. I'm so excited and having so much fun, though it is a bit more work than I'd anticipated. So far we've made:

1. the Save-The-Dates
2. felt flower bouquets for the bride and all of the bridesmaids
3. table numbers and centerpieces
4. some props for the photobooth

I've also started several other projects that are works-in-progress, including:

-the cake topper
-red birdcage veils for each of the bridesmaids
-boutonnieres for each of the groomsmen
-birdcage veil to go with my reception dress
-an Activity Book to keep the kids entertained
-the card box

But the big project right now is making our wedding invitations, which has already involved days (not just hours - yes, days) of cutting paper.

Nick is busy working on the card box. I'm so proud of him! He has already worked hard cutting and sanding the wood and screwing the box together. It hasn't been painted yet, but it already looks so beautiful:
