    I haven't counted or really started making much yet..just collecting supplies for Save the dates, invitations, centerpieces, welcome/other signs, all bouquets and boutonnieres, place cards, guest book shadowbox thing, ring pillow, favors, and cake decorations. I think that's all.

    Only 1 or 2. I’m not much of a DIY’er and don’t really want the stress of it lol.

    I did my bouquet, step daughters' bouquets, pew bows, church back drop, bought and ironed all tablecloths and runners, made packets of napkins with silverware tied with ribbon, various signs, candles with greenery attached to them... There is probably more that I'm forgetting

    I probably won't be DIYing anything. I'm not creative like that, and make way too many mistakes. I fear I would waste materials. LMAO

    I don't think anything I am doing is a DIY. I put my centerpieces together, but that is floating candles and eucalyptus leaves.

    Only 1 thing! We’ve just bought everything (my centerpieces were DIYed by another bride). The only thing I’m doing is decorating a motorcycle helmet (we’re going away on FH’s motorcycle) so I’m putting a veil & other things on it. 😊

    Signs, centerpieces, invitation sleeves, anything related to flowers, our archway for our ceremony.

    We are DIY'ing as much as we can since it's turning out to be cheaper that way!

    I’m planning to DIY Save the dates (the venue I like has an invitation credit in the package otherwise I’ll DIY those as well), signage, if we don’t get the venue we like (which has floral centerpieces in the package price) I’ll also DIY centerpieces. I like projects, so I’m happy to take some on (at least now while I still have so long to think about it lol)

    Does Etsy count? If not, then literally nothing.

    Centerpieces, all signage, decorated my card box, and decorated my favors. Just having trouble deciding what else I can add with the lanterns. The tables are long so I’ll have two per table and some boxwood garland.. what else can I add without using real flower? Votives maybe to fill the space
