What are you DIY-ing??

in October 2012 Weddings
I'm having a struggle. I feel like everyone is asking what they can help with and I'm not sure what to say.

I have: flower girl basket, centerpiece supplies, decor for the head table and cake table, card box, pew decor for the church, BP accessories/clothing, BP gifts, my accessories

What I need to do: escort cards (which I am DIYing), buy favors (carmel apples), programs and table numbers (which my mom is making)

I just feel like I should have a bunch to do, but I'm not sure what. Our centerpieces are very simple: candles in a vase with putka pods (look like mini pumpkins), with leaves and candles scattered.

What are you ladies DIYing? Is there something major that I'm missing?

    Get help for the caramel apples. I did abotut 40-50 for my sister's shower and it was way more work than I expected.

    Have someone there to unwrap caramels, stick the pokers in the apples, help with dishes, grease wax paper, etc. I was the only person I trusted to do the dipping though. Haha.

    I'm only really DIYing program/card/bathroom baskets, menus, escort cards, and programs.

    Thanks ladies! We're ordering the apples from happyapples.com. But we'll get help putting them in cellophane bags and tying the escort cards to them.

    I just feel like I'm missing something big, because everyone tells me I'm calm and if I need anything to ask, but I feel like I don't have much to do right now.

    I'm DIY'ing
    My bouquet 
    Bouts 
    Twinkling light Mason Jars for the centerpieces (Which I will also be dying them blue as well)
    Favors (but its just candy in a bag)

    I'm still undecided but I might make a sign that says "Pick a Seat not a Side", and "Mr Mrs" for our chairs.

    Programs, toss bouquet, FG bouquet, and hair accessories all done by me.

    Programs however, may be printed elsewhere, instead of at my house.  Not sure yet.
