This TikTok walks you through how to take the addresses from Excel to Word then straight to your printer. This tutorial is fully customizable and will save your hand from writing all those addresses especially if you have a large guest count.

Mirrored signs have become all the rage in wedding decor and they deserve their status because of how gorgeous they are. Getting someone who decorates them as a living for your event could save you time but also could cost you more than you may be willing to spend. This TikTok tutorial is a genius way to do it yourself and still end up with a gorgeous sign. You can get mirrors anywhere from IKEA to Amazon and if you do not have a Cricut to make the vinyl, look for glass markers to create the writing yourself.
