DIY Brides! i need too, tricks, and ideas.

Celina, what style is your wedding?

Skip favors as most will be left behind and put the money toward food/beverages/dj guests will remember or better photos.

Avoid the word wedding as much as you can because the price will be 10x what it should.

What are you interested in specifically? Are you normally crafty? You may find it more economical to pay someone on Etsy. Filter to search US shops only. Your time (at minimum wage) and sanity also need to be taken into account which often makes DIY expensive.

These are some Inspo photos I sent out decorator. I like the simple vintage look

View Quoted Comment I am very crafty. I like the whole mason jar gifts with coca mix or brownie mix or just a simple fold box with mints. I just want something small for guests something that doesn’t cost so much to do myself.

Hi, so this is my box that my ring bearer is going to carry. I got it at Michaels for $1. I used polyurethane to stain it that I HS left over from a table I was staining. I’m addition I went to the dollar tree and got stencils. I painted our initials on the outside of the box. Then inside I used sharpie and put our date. I used lace ribbon and added padding and made a ring pillow. This was so inexpensive and I got a thrill out of creating something special that I will keep forever.


My wedding favors I wanted to do a popcorn bar but covid is in the way of that. We are getting just regular popcorn that comes in a bag like microwave popcorn bags and putting stickers on that say thanks for popping by. I personally found out that most favors get left behind food is the top favor to go with guest. I personally am a fan of flower seeds and the let love grow. That’s what I originally wanted to do for mine, but I bought the thanks for popping by sticker before covid. Hope this helps ♥️

View Quoted Comment I love the box! I want to do something like that for us. He’s worried our son who will be just under a year at the wedding will decide to toss the box so having closed like yours is perfect. I did think of doing candy or something as a favor like the mints you always get or something

For our favors I ordered little pink boxes and I’m putting mints or chocolate inside and calling it a day lol I bought those from efavormart.com I got 100 and only paid about $22 haha


Centerpieces I ordered Cinderella carriages and my mom helped me with the fake floral arrangement for the inside . I also have a cricut so I made all of the groomsmans gifts which were beer glasses from dollar tree and I put permanent vinyl with their names
For my bridal shower I did the little centerpieces with fake tiny flowers from Amazon and I purchased the candy pouches from dollar tree and I made my own gift tags lol gotta save money and diy haha. Dm if you need any help or anything I love crafting and helping out with ideas
