Theme Weddings
If you are planning a theme wedding there are things you want to take into consideration while planning.
- Remember too much can be too much. When it comes to decorations you will want a amount that gives your event the right feel, however too many can look cluttered and tacky. Plan what and where you want your decorations
- To boost the excitement of your guests for your themed wedding start from the very beginning. Pick out your theme at the beginning and carry it forward starting with Save the Date cards and Invitations.
- Remember if you pick a theme and want guests to participate, some guests will not be interested in participating in the theme. However make them feel like it is alright if they don’t feel comfortable participating in the theme.
- Colours are important to a theme. They make the theme come together. When picking colours take your theme into consideration. You do not want colours that will clash when the environment feel you are trying to make.

This Calls For…A Halloween Wedding
I have been married this Halloween for two years. Yes we did the Halloween wedding theme, yes we did the candy table etc. I noticed that I get a lot of searches for Halloween Wedding Decoration ideas so I wanted to do this blog to show people what I did with mine and hopefully give some ideas.
First off I knew right away I did not want it to look cheesy and tacky. You could easily go to the dollar store and pick up some cheesy stuff and just set it up. However to make things look a little better buy some of that dollar store and put some creative flair into it.
We bought these from the dollar store and wanted to use them in our centerpieces. So by adding some ripped pantyhose and paint we made out centerpieces.
We added some branches coming out of the top of the plastic skull, put a battery operated tea light so the skull would flicker. Then put that all is a glass vase with stones.
We also made personalized tombstones. We bought insulation foam at our nearest home improvement store and then cut them into the shapes that we wanted our tombstones to be.
We then printed off what we wanted our stone to say from a Word document then stencilled into the board. To make the wording have depth we used a wood burner to melt the board.
Once it was all carved black paint was used in the crevasses then used a combo of paint and water to make it look streaked. To top off the look of an old tombstone we added some fake moss.
For Table Numbers we wanted something different. We decided to use Horror Movie Titles and print them out on cardstock. We bought some small pumpkins that had some imperfections so they were cheaper and then got knives and stabbed the cardstock into the pumpkin.
Every Halloween Wedding needs a candy table. For ours we did a couple more tombstones to add to it, as well as little skeletons to hang out of the bowls. We used some tiers to add some height to it and layered with fabric. The best part was buying the candy. We had chocolate bars, jelly bellies, rockets, candy corn etc.
For the Candy Table we had put candy bags at each table setting with a spider web on them then printed stickers with a Thank You message .
If I could go back I would not have put these at the table settings. People went up to the candy table right away before dinner leaving other guests not having a chance on selection. But hey you learn right.
I hope you have enjoyed some of my ideas that my hubby and I did for our wedding. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me of an email I would love to hear from you. erin@papercutsinvitations.com
Maybe It’s Time For You To Learn About Me!
A tough thing about having a business is coming up with an idea on what you want your company to be. How do you want your company to be perceived? Who is your target market going to be?
When I started PaperCuts Invitation Design in August of 2009, these were things that I had to think about. I would research all different companies and learn about the industry. There are truly some amazing people and companies out there.
After doing this for two years, I have met so many wonderful people wither I worked with them or not just meeting them was so great. I have been learning so much from just meeting new people and going out of my comfort zone to help them out. I realize that it is not my company that is going out of it’s way to help out people as much as I possibly can. My company is really only me. My company is me putting in crazy hours, passion and love into everything I do for a client.
I am thinking it is time to make PaperCuts Invitation Design more on a personal level. I want people to come to my site and see that I am a down to earth fun person that really just loves what I do, and I truly want to help people out. Every time I get a new client I don’t see it as “oh just another paycheque”. I see it as this couple has chosen me to help them with one of the biggest days of their lives. The invitations are just the start of their big day. I actually feel honoured that they have chosen to work with me.
I run my meetings out of my house, I want the couples to feel welcomed and really there is not a more personal place to welcome them then my house. I want the experience to be one on one and personal.
Stay tuned on the website as I update sections to include PaperCuts as a person, not just a business.
