Need reminders

romarie

I was on the Knot/Nest 5 years ago when I got married.  Now it's my son's turn.  We are helping out where we can since my soon to be DIL's father told her "we dont' think this will last so we aren't helping".  OK, fair enough, that's their choice.  But I am trying to get her to do as many DIY as I can since I know they are a younger couple with a baby.  I'm very crafty and willing to help out.  So just as a reminder, what were some of the wedding planning DIY sites?
And just so you dont' think I'm being the bossy FMIL, I throw ideas at her, she can chose to use them or not    I'm behind them either way

Just remind your FDIL that you are finding DIY wedding projects to help them cut cost. Also, remind them that it's okay if she turns down any ideas.

My MIL suggested and sent me DIY projects. I felt bad when I really didn't like some of the projects because I really love my in laws. Later, my MIL said it was okay for me to say no to them. This made me feel so much better. I only took one of her suggestions, which was a brooch bouquet, and it turned out amazing.

She definately knows she can say no to me and that I am just throwing ideas at her.    Like I told them, I had my wedding, it's HER turn!   And for each project, I send her different styles of each thing AND websites she can order from so she can see the cost difference. She kind of wants a cadillac wedding on a pinto budget

Pinterest is a great site for finding DIY projects.

I'm not very crafty, but I love looking at this site:

There is also a 'DIY' board on TK. The ladies over there would probably be helpful.
