Hi Brides,

Last month we asked for your DIY questions to be answered on MyDIYWeddingDay.com We've posted the answer (and pics) to our first one so check it out here: http://www.mydiyweddingday.com/2010/08/question-of-the-month-diy-flower-boutonniere.html

We would love to answer more. Have you seen a great project but can't figure out how to do it? Or maybe you're just looking for a DIY spin for your table settings or seating cards? We want to hear from you!

Each month, we're going to choose a question and answer it on our DIY blog. Whether it's a project that you want to learn how to do or a problem that you're trying to sort out, send it to us.

Post your questions below, with any photos and as much information as you can give.

Thanks,

WC Annie

I was wondering about hand made paper invitations. I just learned to make my own paper, but I can't figure out how to print on it. It gets jammed in the printer/copier. I did finally get one to go through, but it took several times.

Would you have any ideas on how I could incorperate handmade paper into my intiations?

Hi, 
I'm in love with this site and all of the beautiful DIY Wedding projects.   I wanted to know if there's a way to let everyone know about the DIY Wedding contest over at Instructables.com?  All of these projects would be perfect for it, and we're giving away some sweet prizes, but the contest closes in two weeks! 

Please let me know if there's a way we could work together to spread the word!

All the best,
Sarah

Hi, my fiance and I are having a "Rockstar" rock n roll theme wedding and instead of having guest cards, we want to have a guest chart that is designed to look like a "platinum record display award". I want to DIY  it to save money and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as of how I could accomplish this creative task? Please anything is appreciated.

I am just wondering if you have any ideas for tablecloths for the reception that would be cheaper than renting or buying outright. I was thinking of garage sailing and shopping around in thrift stores to see if I could find old tablecloths in my color schemes. But I'm nervous that it will come off cheap instead of chic.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Stephanie

I am looking for alternative floral ideas for centerpieces like flowers made out of paper or fabric. Most directions that I find are just to create the flower and skip the stems and structural support to actually make an arrangement of flowers. I'd love some help!

I have been eyeing these fantastic henna candles on ETSY and I really want to know how to make them. Can you post some instructions?? How can I get the henna to stay on and not smear??? How can I affix the rhinestones?

Thanks!
Wendie

I am making a wedding wish tree in replace of a guest book and I cant seem to find beads that are long enough to arrange around the branches. I am looking for garland crystals or something like that. Any suggestions?

Hi, I just assembled my magnet save the dates and the envelopes  are now sticking together. I tried placing card stock inside the envelope on the magnet side, but they still stick. I am concerned they will stick together in the mail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alyssa
