300 nails later, we have our final product! Not to mention two very happy newlyweds.
We knew our friends were moving into their new home a month after their actual wedding day so we waited to give them our handmade gift. The day of the big move, the happy couple asked us and a group of close friends to help out. After unloading the last of the boxes into their garage, we all gathered in their brand new, freshly painted kitchen for lunch. The parents of the bride and groom were also present for moving day so as the whole group finished up their sandwiches, we knew it was the perfect time to present the gift.
Earlier in the day, I posted a Facebook photo of the gift wrapped in a bed sheet to announce that our wedding gift would finally be delivered to them and challenged them to take some guesses. Completely stumped, our friends were even more curious when they saw us both carrying in a large heavy object. With their closest friends and family members by their sides, we revealed our DIY wedding gift.
After seeing the large pile of wedding gifts the bride already set aside to return, my boyfriend and I were both relieved and ecstatic that she was speechless. With some teamwork and a lot of love, we were able to create a memorable DIY wedding gift our friends will always cherish. The piece now hangs proudly on the wall of their living room and adds a great rustic touch to their new home.
Want to give your newlyweds a wedding gift they will never forget? It's easier than you think! Just roll up your sleeves and get creative!
