Many DIY brides may be inspired by a proj...I agree! Many DIY brides may be inspired by a project and think, "I can do that!" True, many brides *are* capable, talented and skilled in various areas including graphic design, scrapbooking, baking, sewing, decorating and crafting in general, but what may seem "simple and fun" to do -- such as invitations, programs, escort cards, centerpieces, favors, etc. -- can become a major hassle and a serious regret later. <br /><br />Many DIY brides don't realize that the one 'thing' they planned for the DIY project is actually 50, 80, 100 (or more) things -- depending on the guest count. Then suddenly "all that time" you had is gone before you know it as you are most likely juggling a full time job (perhaps school too), wedding research and appointments, dress shopping & fittings, bridal party & family activities, and just regular life. That "fun" DIY project is now something you no longer have time to do, have no energy to work on, and is costing more than you initially thought as you've run out of your last spool of ribbon, which you find out is either out-of-stock or discontinued at the craft store when you go back to buy more. <br /><br />If you are a die-hard DIYer (and many of us are!) and determined to literally put your personal touch on your wedding, then pick ONE manageable project that you will *enjoy* and realistically have time to complete prior to the wedding (and we're not talking in the 24 hrs. prior). You may want to create just one (or a few) prototypes then have your wedding planner execute the rest. From someone who's "been there" -- a self-proclaimed DIYer -- this is a better way to go when it comes to your wedding.<br /><br />So ENJOY the process of planning your wedding and the actual Big Day to follow by leaving it to the professionals to help you budget, prioritize...and take care of the big *and* small stuff :)No Ordinary Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736769132649957331noreply@blogger.com
