    Capturing Love

    This double-sided centerpiece is a tribute to the lifelong unions that preceded yours. The Paper + Cup kit is simple to use; affix two photos, image-side out, on each side of card-stock panels. Use seam binding to join each panel to the next, then add the decorative frames using glue or double-sided tape.

    Photo Cake

    This cake, with an image of your smiling faces on the middle tier, is a showstopper. Dotted and floral ribbons are attached to the fondant using royal icing, pleated satin ribbon adds a ruffly effect atop two tiers, and an oval in the same trim neatly outlines your image. We cut the picture (which was printed on an ink-jet printer) to size, and glued it on with royal icing.

    Save-the-Date Cards

    For a twist on plain old save-the-date cards, take shots of someone knotting a cord and holding a sign that says, "We're tying the knot: Please Save the Date," and turn them into flip books. Companies like Flip Clips will make these for you if you don't want to assemble the books yourself.

    Playing Cards

    Your guests will flip for playing cards depicting you and your partner as tykes. We had these made by Kodak Gallery.

    Picture Treats

    Endear yourself to sugar fiends on your list with lollipops, cookies, and chocolates emblazoned with your image. We used printed photos cut with a craft punch for the foil coins; the rest can be ordered from specialty vendors such as Chocolate Graphics (866-323-0745), Beau-coup for the Lollipops, and Elenis for the cookies.

    Photo Kisses

    Tiny touches, like Hershey's kisses with laser-printed stickers, make lasting impressions. We had our mini-kiss labels made by EDPS.

    Photo Confetti

    Sprinkle photo confetti on your reception tables, and guests will have an instant conversation starter. Photofetti will turn your pictures into this fun confetti.

    Gallery of Childhood Snapshots

    Here's a surefire tearjerker and chortle-inducer -- a gallery of childhood snapshots. A thin layer of foam board is attached to a folding screen with spray-adhesive, and mint-green cloth is affixed the same way inside the border. We criscrossed white satin ribbons across the board (gluing them along the border), placed map tacks at intersections, and tucked photos behind them.

    Cufflinks and Watch

    Got an emotional groom on your hands? Outfit him with something sentimental: cuff links by Romero Designs or a watch from Personalization Mall that tells the story of your romance.

    Photo Bracelets and Pendants

    For weepy bridesmaids and moms, a bracelet embelished with photo charms by Rembrandt Charms or a pendant by Nunn Designs bearing their favorite picture of you and your groom is a lovely gift.

    Photo Thank You Cards

    Give thank-you card recipients a sneak peek at the wedding photos; have a picture of the drive-away image printed onto heavy paper to use as the card.

    Photo Stickers

    Order photo stickers to seal envelopes on your thank-you notes. We ordered ours from Moo.

    love the idea of playing cards - I'll need to buy 2 sets - one for him and one for her. Most the places that print cards like Shutterfly only allow you to use one print for the entire card set. I wish there was a place that allowed you to use 52 different prints!

    This is a great idea!

    I tried going on moo.com for the seal stickers and I can't find where you can add your picture. Has anyone done that or does anyone have another website to make envelope seals. Our invitations are very plain, so we wanted to do something personal with them, and i though this would be cute. Thanks!

    I ordered the little Hershey kiss sized stickers from edps.com, as suggested here in Martha Stewart. That was 2 months ago, my credit card was charged, I have NOT received the item, and edps is not responding to my emails or phone calls. I will continue trying, but at the moment, I would not recommend this vendor!

    Does anyone know where I can buy the exact folding screen shown in photob 8? I would love to make this, but can't find this kind of folding screen anywhere. Thanks!

    The photos you use for these craft projects don't all have to be of the couple. You can also use old photographs of the bride's parents, the groom's grandparents, etc.

    The chocolates with ictures on them are rather popular here, hwoever the layer wiht the photo on it is not very tasty. If it doens't taste good I think it's rude to give it to your guests just because it features a picture of the couple.
    However, i am a huge fan of photos and I plan on having old weding photos lined in neat frames on a table where the guests first enter.

    the link on Darcy's wedding day ideas is incorrect.
    also, Darcy said on the Martha show that there are instructions for the photo cake on the website but none are included...

    who really wants a sucker with my face on it? some of these projects are a little weird.
