diy signs for Engagement Photos

Allison, on October 9, 2018 at 13:24 Posted in DIY 0 21

Hi Ladies,

As promised, here is the finished signs I talked about making last week.

It took way longer than I thought it would, basically all long weekend, but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out! Using stencils helped get the shape of the lettering, but the paint did run under and I had to adjust the edge of the letters in some cases. Also, the white required multiple (3) coats. The purple on the dark wood looks almost too dark, and I might paint over using a lighter shade so it's more readable, but I'm hoping our photographer can edit the colour in the photos.

I was going to do a sign with just our wedding date, but I saw way too many cute Pinterest signs with first date and engagement date as well. I painted a palm tree next to engagement since he proposed by palm trees. I will have this sign at the wedding too somewhere, probably at both the ceremony and reception.

I also did our hashtag (which will be used at our wedding too) and a sign saying: We're Getting Hitched. That one is purely for pun purposes since we are getting a photo of us on my truck's tailgate. If I drive my truck from Thunder Bay to London for the wedding, I'll definitely get the same photo but in wedding attire.

For the wedding I'm going to make a sign that says Thank You for our thank you cards, and maybe others if I get creative

    I like that idea! I'm sure you could find youtube tutorials or get advice here on Wedding Wire about it!

    Stencils did save my life, I could not do as good of a job without them! Michaels has a Martha Stewart line of stencils and paint that I actually used!

    These look amazing!

    I have contemplated doing this for our guest book and having people sign the wood, but I am scared to mess it up lol

    Thanks Brittany, I was thinking the purple was okay too, but the lighting at my house isn't the greatest.

    Good luck on your signs! Smiley heart

    These are awesome! I think the purple is totally legible... I wouldn't paint over it. Your photographer should be able to brighten up that area of the photo if absolutely necessary.

    Great job! I should really get started on my signs too!!!! Smiley heart

    Thanks! I'm usually not very crafty either, but I get sudden bouts of creativity. These were all done with stencils, no way I could paint a palm tree that good on my own
