I'm a very bad DIYer

LuckyGirl1713

I feel like I broke some DIY secret rule or code or something but I broke down an ordered personalized water bottle labels from Oriental Trading instead of my original plan to design and print my own.  With the wedding being 5 months away and my list of DIY projects seeming never ending I thought it was best to let the pros handle a few of the projects and relieve just a tiny bit of my stress.

But I still feel like a bad bad DIYer! hehe

Don't feel bad! There are soooo many things involved in a wedding. It's ok If you can't do them all. You should only take on what you can handle anyway. Besides, they're only water bottles. No one will hold that against you. I wouldn't even have thought about doing that myself. Do whatever you can to relieve the stress!

The prices for those labels on Oriental Trading are so cheap that I don't blame you.  It's worth it to just order them.  I did a lot of research on those, and their price is definitely the best.

Don't feel bad, I'm gonna "try" to do everything for my wedding myself but with some help from places like Michael's Crafts and Orriental Traiding. Just breath and move on to the next project.

Don't feel bad at all!  I am doing a lot of DIY elements for my wedding but I left my invites up to a professional since I felt it was a bit too big of a task.  Knowing what you can handle is key!

Thanks for the support ladies! My fiancé keeps teasing me that people will just be appalled that I didn't make my own lol He had never even heard of personalized water bottles to begin with so he is happy that I am relinquishing some projects off my list to the professionals.

It's ok, honestly. I can't even paint something simple without making a huge mess and ending up with paint on my furniture, clothes and hair, lol. Smocks were definitely invented b/c of me. I love crafts unfortunately they generally end up looking like my 3 year old cousin did them.
