By DIY MavenMaybe I spend a little too much time DIYing, but I didn’t know you could order personalized M & M’s off the My M & M’s website until I saw a commercial for them the other night on the Food Network.

Attention Engaged Curbliers: Save-the-date Refrigerator Magnets
By DIY Maven
Need to give your guests a heads up so they don't plan a trip to Vegas the weekend of your wedding? How about sending out save-the-date refrigerator magnets? The dozen or so designs offered by Exclusively Weddings are sold in packs of 24 for about 38 bucks, but they get cheaper the more packs you buy. So, yes, they’re more expensive than save-the-date postcards, but not nearly as mis-placeable and not nearly as cute either!

Have you heard? A fellow Curblier was recently ENGAGED!!!
By DIY Maven
I’m not telling who, but let’s just say he is one of my friends. So, in the spirit of things, I’ve decided to keep a look out for ideas which might be of interest to those preparing to walk down the aisle. First up are these absolutely sweet heart-shaped paper clips from the Spoon Sisters. They could be cute in wedding invitations to keep all those important slips of paper–including RSVPs, maps and where-we’re-registered info sheets–neat an » READ MORE
Wedding Favors.
By NCavillonesI totally wasn't going to do favors for my wedding. Instead, we were going to donate to two charities of our choice, in honor of guests and in memory of my grandmother. I just thought it was silly and wasteful to spend all that money on crappy favors that people probably won't keep.
Then... my sister suggested little photo albums, since Henry and I met on flickr (yes, we did!). I thought people wouldn't want photo albums that have our name and we » READ MORE

How to bogart wedding favors and what to do with them after you get them.
By DIY MavenA great way to bogart wedding favors is to enlist the help of a groomsman. They seem to be able to talk unsuspecting female guests to fork over their free gifts. (If you’ve seen Wedding Crashers, you’ll know what I’m talking about.)
Another good tactic, if you don’t know anybody at the wedding, is to sit at a dinner table with the fewest amount of guest. (Hey, you don’t know anybody anyway, so why sit with a bunch of strangers?) This way, » READ MORE
Assembling “It’s a Wonderful Life” Housewarming and Wedding Baskets
By DIY Maven
A few years ago, I heard Martha give a tutorial on how to assemble a housewarming gift based upon the basket given to George and Mary Bailey in "It’s a Wonderful Life." Basically, you find a lovely basket, fill it with decorative ‘grass’ and add a loaf of bread, a container of salt and a bottle of wine. You then write or print out in a fancy font the following:
Bread! That this house may never know hunger
Salt! That life may always have flav » READ MORE
