Is There Too Much DIY in Your Wedding?
Are you a perfectionist? How crafty are you? Did you organize your Pinterest boards yet? Jennifer Giuliano shares her tips and tricks to make DIY weddings a little less stressful.
I know someone who made all her own wedding invitations. Then a year later, she made 150 more for a friend's wedding.
It's the DIY bandwagon, aka do-it-yourself, and it can be a great thing when it comes to weddings. But here's a question for you, via Jenn's Wedding Planning 101 blog on Southbury Patch:
"But with everything you have to do, does it make sense to add more stress to your wedding planning?"
Maybe. But for all the brides-to-be, she shares these tips to help you decide how much DIY should be in your wedding:
Know your strengths: Are you usually a crafty person? Is your home filled with beautiful, homemade projects that you’ve enjoyed creating? Then go for it! But if the last work of art you created was the handprint Thanksgiving turkey in second grade, you may want to reconsider the 250 elaborate lace-and-glitter-paint Mason jar lantern project.
Check your costs. Will it really save a lot of money if you do it yourself?
