DIY Projects and To-Do's

We are having an 18-month Engagement, so I am taking it upon myself to do a ton of Do-It-Yourself projects.  Including:
*Tulip bouquets for myself and bridesmaids
*Escort cards and ceremony programs (maybe Save-the-Dates and Invites, we'll see how crafty I end up being)
*Reception centerpieces (photos of FI and me through the years)
*Card box (near the gift table, meant to collect cards from guests)
*Cake toppers
*Day of Timelines
*Guestbook
*and much, much more!
