I'm not doing any DIY really, but before I bought anything I cleaned a closet to keep all wedding stuff, I don't want to forget where it is or loose it!

my bridesmaid offered her attic and my grandpa offered his spare bed room so that's not a problem but thanks for the advice!

Well that's one less thing, then I would start with the ones you need first or ones that take the most time... A friends husband made their Chuppah and he stained it and stuff and it took a long time, because he wanted it Perfect!!

I did a few DIY projects, some of them stressful, some of them not. Ribbon pomanders Table numbers Signature drink, flip flop basket, bathroom basket sings Flip flop size tags Photo guest book Card box Invitations
I wouldn't start too many of them because you have a lot of time before your wedding and you don't want to do a bunch of work and then change your mind about something.

I haven't done anything yet but I plan to DIY my table numbers, programs, card box and a few other little things that I'll probably start when I have a week off in February. I hope to have everything finished by that point since I won't have any time off before the wedding after that point.

First I have to say you can and should start projects in advance I'll be engaged almost three years before I get married and very one would tell me you have plenty of time why are you doing this now. But I am two months to my wedding and all my main things are done and I'm so stress free. All I have left is seating arrangement and place cards. Anyways here's some DIY I did
Wedding wands Table numbers Place cards Wedding mad libs Save the dates Cake topper
