Do It Yourself (DIY)

Hey all,

The countdown continues and as we get closer I am spending a bit more time on the little do it yourself projects we started a few months ago. Things are finally coming together.

I wanted this thread to be a collective for brides (and grooms) to share and get ideas for DIY projects.

If you have any projects you have done for your own wedding, please share.

My projects currently include table name cards, table number cards, save the date cards, charity donation cards and glass vase centerpieces with floating candles.

Give me a bit of time and I will add mine, but until then please add yours!

Best,
Abhi

    I have a DIY section in my website. I've done the STDs. Started the guestbook and the veil. I think once I thought about it most things I found cheaper than trying to do them on my own. I got lazy. I thought I would definately be a DIY bride, but it didn't happen. Oh well!

    I did a lot of DIY for my US wedding.  Mostly all the paper products, like invitations, seating and placecards, "reserved" seating cards for the church, menu cards, and table numbers.  My MOH got the bags for the favors made in Pakistan (I have the suspicion her MIL made them at least in part).  And my mom made the centerpieces, which got a lot of compliments.

    You can see part of the stuff here:

    When I have time, I'll add the other stuff... or just post the wedding photos.

    - Program for ceremony (both)
    - Favours (both)
    - Favour labels (both)
