Monogrammed Wall Art...Again

Okay, so a few posts ago, I talked about some really cute wall art that I wanted to incorporate into our wedding. Like I said before, I think they would be great on the cake table, or maybe on the bathroom sinks, or in some of the other rooms of the clubhouse. I started thinking that I might be able to save some cash by making them on my own. Well, I did, and here is the finished product:

And, here is a zoomed-in picture of the monogram:

I'm not a fan of "knock-offs" but I must admit, I am really happy with the result. I really love the font, and I like the idea of being able to pick unique backgrounds for each piece. My grand total for this piece was $12.25! The frame is 20x14" I think, and this exact frame comes in many sizes, so it gives me options. Be honest.. what do you think of my homemade monogrammed art?

EDIT: I've had some questions about how I made them, so I will gladly share! Everything came from Michael's. The frame was originally $14.99 or maybe $19.99... but they have a coupon in the paper every Sunday, so I got it for $10. The opening in the center is 8x10, so I got an 8x10 white mat for $1.99. The center is just a piece of scrapbook paper in 8x10 size. Basically, I just used Microsoft Word (in landscape page layout) and centered our initials in the center. I kept messing with the font and size until I found what I liked. The font is Harrington. I made it bold so the letters would be darker. And, a tip, it doesn't matter if it is in the dead center of the page, because you are going to center it when you frame it. So, I just printed it and framed it and that's it! The whole project literally took about 20 minutes. Thanks to everyone for their feedback on my project!

All Things Monogrammed

I'm not sure what it is about growing up in the South, but it gives a lot of us girls an affliction for anything and everything monogrammed. I ran across a few websites that monogram just about anything, and have picked out a few of my favorites that I either have ordered, or plan on ordering for the wedding.

1. Jack and Lulu Wall Art. I think these framed monograms would be a great addition to the cake table or on the coffee tables in the various sitting rooms of the clubhouse. Here are my favorites (the bottom one shows how they look framed):
2. Ida Claire- One of my favorites from this site is the monogrammed rectangular tin. These are another option for holding the favors (which I think are going to be koozies). Here is an example:
And, also on this website (although completely NOT wedding-related), I LOVE these:
There are a few other websites that have a lot of cute monogrammed and personalized items that I enjoy. Those websites include: Girly Twirly, Invite Cottage and Boatman Geller, which has the cutest notepads and stationary sets ever! I have a feeling that my bridal party will definitely be getting some stuff from these stores!
