Just Married!
I’m not sure what Emily Post would say about who is supposed to decorate the getaway car, but since J. and I are going to be stylin’ and profilin’ around in one of these two vintage cars, I felt I could take some liberty and design our own “just married” sign. After all, I am probably in the best position to envision how the car trunk will look with signage on it, and besides, I want to make sure any decoration is “car friendly” and won’t do any damage.
- Potential Option 1: 1937 Packard Limo
- Potential Option 2: 1933 Packard Convertible (we’ll keep the top up, thankyouverymuch)

So I did some research and found some great options for “just married” signs. All DIY of course!
Ultimately, I found the below inspiration from the Martha, complete with freebie download, and I just knew it would be perfect!
All I had to do was print out the free Martha template, cut out the fancy letters, and then use spray adhesive to tack them onto card stock. Then, I used an exacto knife to cut slits in the card stock, and I fed lengths of spare green ribbon I had on hand (leftovers from yet another crafty endeavor) through the slits. The sign will hang in two sections to keep things as tangle-free as possible, and can be placed over the trunks of whichever car we end up using. Total cost, zero dollars. Well ok not zero if you count printing and ribbon, but since I didn’t have to buy them, I think of it as free! I can’t wait to see them in action!

Would you decorate a getaway car? How would you do it?
