Thursday Tips: Decorating the Getaway Car

Before I start, I just want to emphasize the importance of assigning someone to this task, instead of just assuming it will get taken care of. It’s typically covered by the groomsmen, but definitely doesn’t have to be! I learned the hard way, and was surprised to see my friends frantically writing “Just Married” on our back window with a bar of soap! Haha. Don’t get me wrong, it was awesome, but I was picturing the whole streamers and tin cans bit… oh well. You win some, you lose some. I figure you guys can learn from my experiences. ;)

Okay, on to the getaway car fun!

How about a classy yet simple “Just Married” bow? Via Peach and Pearl.

Here’s a great tutorial for this rustic Just Married sign from Ruffled.

I love this look, and it’s so easy to do! Streamers, ribbon, string, and cans, and you’re good to go. Found on Style Me Pretty.

This hand written Just Married sign can be purchased right here on Etsy, and the pom poms would be a fun DIY project. Aren’t they adorable!?

Here’s a great idea that I hadn’t seen before–a DIY spare tire cover! This one is exceptionally cute, I love the little orange flowers. Photo by Rustin Michael.

I am in love with these paper bow ties! They would be so easy to make and they are so fun and colorful. Found on Pink Blossom List.

This is so classy… just a simple hand written Just Married sign, and the trunk bursting with presents, of course! Photo by Jose Villa.
