Which Cricut machine should I buy for my wedding DIY projects?
When it comes to planning a wedding, DIY projects can save a lot of money and add a personal touch. We personally love Cricut's Explore and the Maker for very different reasons. If you're considering adding a Cricut machine to your crafting arsenal, the best option for wedding projects is the Cricut Maker simply because it can cut more of a variety of materials than the Explore. This machine has the ability to cut through materials such as fabric, leather, and balsa wood, which means you can create unique, diverse wedding favors and decorations. However if you have a smaller budget, the Explore also is a fabulous machine when it comes to DIY wedding ideas! Most of our wedding DIYs made with Cricut are done on an Explore machine since a lot of wedding DIYs end up using vinyl and iron-on materials. Both the Explore and the Maker come with the ability to score and fold materials, allowing you to make intricate invitations and table numbers with ease. With either Cricut machine, you'll absolutely be able to create stunning DIY projects for your special day!
Toasting Glasses for Getting Ready
MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Permanent Vinyl
Cheers! What better way to celebrate all your ladies than with some personalized stemless champagne glasses? Outdoor vinyl is water-resistant and the toughest of all vinyls out there. Cricut has some great basic colors or you can find the wedding world's favorites of gold, copper, and silver on Amazon. (After you make them, just remind your gals to hand wash their glasses! Outdoor vinyl is strong and mighty, but not immortal!)

Reception Chair Signs
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
One of the biggest classic trends in the wedding world that has been around quite some time are the newlyweds chair signs. Whether it's "Bride and Bride" or "Mr. and Mrs." signage, there's something about this little detail tradition that people can't get enough of. Most couples either stick with signs made out of wood or thick paper, and those are perfect to personalize with your own wording or couple's message! Going nautical? "His Mermaid" and "Her Captain." Going fairy tale? "King" and "King." Possibilities are endless when you know which vinyl color matches your color theme!

Wedding Favor Tags
MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Adhesive Foil, Balsa Wood
Like most Southern brides and grooms, we sure do love us some monograms... it's probably our most favorite part about using the Cricut machine! It's pretty much monograms on demand, all day, every day. Not only were these modern monograms on the favor tags cut especially for her wedding, the bride also cut the boutique shape of the balsa wood tags, too! (If using balsa wood or other thicker materials like it, be sure to use Cricut's deep cut blade in the machine!)

Reception Seating Chart
• see the DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Cardstock, Vinyl
With so many ideas out there, couples no longer have to stick with poster board or traditionally framed seating charts for their guests. For the DIY magicians, you can play with acrylic, wood, fabric, and so many other materials to help organize and communicate to your guests on where they will be seated. The particular example above is perfect for a beach wedding because it's heavy, shows off the oceanside scenery, paper is inside of the acrylic frame and won't be messed up by the sand or wind! So think of venue logistics before deciding on your material and explore cutting out various materials to make your seating chart happen!

Table Numbers
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
From familiar street names to cities visited together to traditional numbers, wedding table numbers help communicate to your guests where to sit (and you'd be surprised by how many do appreciate guidance with this instead of the awkward "Uhh where do I sit?" looking around!). Have a little fun with designs, names, and symbols on wood, metal, plastic, fabric, and even glass bottles. Cricut has vinyls of all colors to make creativity even more accessible. The hardest part is figuring out what you want to do!

Utensil Sleeves for your Rehearsal Dinner
• see the DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Iron-On
Pretty up those flatware sets for your rehearsal dinner! The easiness of iron-on/heat-transfer vinyl is a huge draw especially if you decide to use more luxurious materials like leather or more delicate fabrics like muslin. Cut out your date or design and iron! That's it.

Wedding Cornhole Boards
