How many months before your wedding are you starting your projects? I think Im going to start in Jan since Im getting married in July. It will give me plenty of time to get everything together.

Re: DIY projects?
What type of DIY projects are you doing? I'd love to try some to add a personal touch, save money anddd have something to do after I book all my vendors! I'm not very artsy though so i'm scared!

Re: DIY projects?
I started all of my DIY projects in January and am basically done. I was making centerpieces, my cake topper and things like that though. So I felt I needed to allow myself more time. I know there are a lot of other girls on here who have also started their projects.

Re: DIY projects?
I think it depends how many you have and how involved the projects are. I started mine early and I'm just doing a little bit at a time at my leisure.

Re: DIY projects?
I think you gave yourself a great timeline to do those - programs and menus come together in a snap!
I started in January but I have a loooooonggggg list of about 60-70 things I want to DIY so I've done a few things, took a break, done some more, break, etc. The girls on here are a huge help if you need to bounce ideas around, get templates, feedback, you name it!

I feel the same way. I think I would probably do menus and programs because those are pretty easy. I'm good with designing things on the computer. I will also try to make my card box but I will definitely need help from my family members who are more crafty. I can't think of anything else. But I would like to do more DIY projects.

Re: DIY projects?
As soon as I get engagement pics back we are DIY ing STDs. Then I want to do programs but I haven't booked a pastor and I really don't know what to even put on the program!! I also need FH to do a LOT of those things with me because he's awesome at photoshop and printing stuff with his fancy printer and I am NOT. I guess I'd want to DIY menus but I'm not sure... it might be nice to make them match the invites and programs somewhat also. I planned on really starting this summer but only for programs and menus because STDs can't be done until this fall!

Re: DIY projects?
So far I'm planning on DIYing centerpieces, invitations, escort cards, unity candle and fabric pomanders for the ceremony.
Some semi DIY stuff: bathroom baskets, welcome bags for OOT guests (including do not disturb signs for OOT guests), favors, painting table numbers.
I'm also thinking about making a 'Thank you' sign for pictures.
