DIY Plans? What to Skip? Must-Haves?

FaithCaitlin

I'm starting to work on my DIYs and have found myself deciding to skip more and more DIYs that I had planned, lol.

I'm planning on doing a Card Box and maybe a "Thank You" sign as well as the guests' welcome bags. 

What DIYs are you doing? Marrieds: any DIYs that were must-do's or any that you think are good to skip?

Honestly, I'm really trying to decide on making the "little things"- door hangers, a "bride" hoodie to get ready in, etc. I don't want to waste time/money but I also don't want to regret it. 

Thoughts?

I've done a lot. Programs, signs, tears of joy packets, fans, swizzle sticks, cupcake picks, straw flags, etc. There's posts on my blog for some of the things I've done. I think you need to think about what you really want and what you would be fine cutting.

Maybe make a list of all the DIY projects you would like to do if money/time was not an issue. Then start making cuts that way. Maybe pick your top 5 ?

I've done a lot, but am cutting some things now as I'm getting closer to the wedding. My most recent choice being rather than doing escort cards and place cards, I'm just going to do a seating chart with assigned tables. I also gave in and ordered some stuff off Etsy I was going to make like the photo mat for my mother, my hair fascinator (because I found one that I LOVE), etc.

What I've done: Centrepieces, table numbers, bouquets (with an individual charm for each girl on it), bouts, corsages, aisle decorations, aisle runner, altar decorations, cardbox, thank you signs, decorations for cake & guestbook table, save the dates, invitations, did a program mockup, bird seed packets, memorial candles, shirts for the bridal party while getting ready, ummm.... I would have to check my own bio to remember everything lol
