im attempting to be a DIY bride. I am doing my invitations, menus, and table numbers. I am making my cardbox, my personalized aisle runner, and my letters for the bride and groom seat. However, there were some projects I left to the professionals such as my unity candle (etsy), bride hanger (etsy) and my save the dates (magnet street - super cheap w/ a 25% off coupon). I am having so much fun, but then again im into arts and crafts. I find it so relaxing

@cherryblossom - thanks for posting your list. I need to get going on my list and only have 7 months to go.

Classifieds are the bomb.com! I have gotten a few things off of there and very satisfied.

I understand. Actually, that was the easy part for me lol. I already knew where i wanted everything to be. Just think of what you want in a venue and start there.
Do you want outside or inside? have you considered a museum?

I haven't considered a museum. I have considered having our ceremony outside because our wedding is in the spring.
