    The only DIY projects I have on my plate are the invitation packets, and wedding favors. The wedding favors are mason jar mugs with bundles of cinnamon sticks tied with twine inside of them. We're making 275 of those and 200 invitation packets. So just two, but they're 2 big ones.

    None. I'm no good at DIY. At all.

    So far, just that three tier glass cake/cupcake stand in the middle, the black pedestal tray on the right and the glass veggie tray on the left.
    I'm thinking my DIY table mock up came out gorgeous(!). I used to be creative in another life apparently because doing this has me feeling pretty cocky now.

    I'm about to DIY a birdcage veil, and those really cute balloons with the garland tail (I want big, round, clear balloons with fairy lights woven with garland that pools on the floor).

    I'm sure I'll find other things but this is it... so far.

    I'm not very crafty, but I do plan on making my own bouquet. That's about it.

    I’ve revised my DIY list several times but with 7 weeks left this is the final list.

    Centerpieces
    Wish tree
    Cake table backdrop(biggest project!!)
    Dessert table
    Wish tree backdrop
    Photobooth
    Ceremony arch
    Favors

    Looks like I’ll finish on time! I’ve chose certain things to focus most of my attention on. Our cake table backdrop is most important because it tells our love story with photos, old love letters and even a display of my promise ring. I absolutely WILL finish this one!

    I’ve already done DIY on a lot. I still have our seating chart and place cards. We’re doing acrylic pieces for each seat. And I have the menus to print and cut.

    We DIYed a lot. We’re making most of our own signs. We saved up glass jars for awhile and then painted them all by hand and they’ll be part of our centerpieces. We’re DIYing our confetti for when we walk down the aisle and we’re DIYing our wedding favors.

    All the centerpieces will be done by the florist, but the tablescapes I am doing, as well as any painting. Hotel bags, Bridal Party gifts, parents and kids gifts... candy bar. Ahhhhhhck!

    Probably going to DIY some signs and the place cards.

    I'm a graphic designer so I'll be designing our save the dates and invitation suite - but will be sending them to get professionally printed so I don't have to worry about that!

    DIYing our invitations, centerpieces, coffee bar, and if I want any decorations in the church for the ceremony. I would DIY our flowers, but FH wants a florist and real flowers.

    We are DIYing center pieces, we did the bouquets, putting together the decor for the reception. Our venue doesn't require a lot of decoration, but little things like signs for the wedding/reception area are being DIYed, table signs are being DIYed as well! We also made all of the signs and props we used for our engagement photo shoot. I'm sure we'll find more that we WANT to do that we'll just do ourselves. Crafts are fun and a great way to put time aside to do something fun together Smiley heart

    All of the decor will be hand-made by myself and my father. Luckily, my father is a carpenter so I will be able to have my pinterest dream decorations for a quarter of the price! My centerpieces, bouquets, hanging decorations, signs, and alter backdrop will all be DIY projects!

    Not to many at the moment because I am about done. I didn’t do to much. I created my own wedding invitations. I made a few signs. I made a collage thing of pictures to display. I’m printing the papers needed for the seating chart. The flowers I bought myself and me and a family friend put them together.
