Pinterest is very helpful when planning a wedding. It helps you keep track of ideas and inspiration.
When my husband and I got engaged, I turned to Pinterest for ideas to make our wedding unique. One of the items I pinned was navy blue luggage tags to be used as escort cards. Genius! It was a necessary item and it could double as a personalized favor.
I spent 6 months trying to find these luggage tags. I kept checking Amazon, Etsy, PartyCity, etc and could not find them. That's when I turned to my then-fiancé for help. He suggested "Why not make them?" I was baffled. I thought he wanted me to find navy blue leather and some how fashion 150 luggage tags out of it. He explained how he used to customize shoes and he'd use leather paint.
Now our hunt was on for 150 plain tags that were affordable. Michael's Craft Store had silver luggage tags that came 10 per box. We utilized their weekly coupons, buying boxes 2 at a time (I would buy one, he would buy one), sometimes going to multiple locations. We purchased the gold leather paint on Amazon. For weeks, I would paint these tags. At the end, it was exactly what I wanted.
If you can't find exactly what you pinned, don't stress out. Just make it yourself. You'll have a one of a kind piece that your guests will enjoy.
