Love Rules aka Wedding Gift

Usually for a wedding gift I do an establishment sign, But this time I wanted to do something different. I've seen many different kinds of Love Rules on Google and Pinterest. So I decided to come up with my own combination of love rules for a wedding gift for my cousin. I really like the list I came up with, and I think it's good advice to give to newlyweds and a good reminder. I came up with this list:

say "I love you"
laugh together everyday
be patient & kind with your words
respect each other
kiss good morning, kiss just because, kiss goodnight
hug often
be spontaneous & impulsive
listen to your heart
hold hands every chance you can
always be willing to compromise
never go to bed angry
remember why you fell in love
be the first to say I'm sorry
grow old together
live happily ever after

How I made this:
First, I went to Home Depot and bought some MDF board and had my husband cut it at 16 x 25 inches.
Second, I painted it, both sides, with Glidden's Antique Beige (I bought a sample size, 8 oz., at Home Depot).
Thirdly, I used Brown, Turquoise, and White Vinyl. I cut it out at 15 x 22 (I think) I used different fonts for each rule.

This is what I came up with. I really like what I came up with. Very cute. I want one for myself. Haha. My husband wasn't sure about the white vinyl, he said it was kind of hard to see, but I still like it and I can see it just fine. But you can always change the vinyl colors up. Originally, I was gonna do violet and grey, but I think three colors make it more cute and I just love the color combination. I think pink, brown , and white would be cute too.
