So after my sad attempt to make my STD's this weekend... i was wondering what DIY projects you girls are planning on doing or have already done? Anything you dont recommend that was really difficult?
Save the dates were originally not in our budget and FH thought they were dumb so i decided to do them myself..... all i have to say is !!!!!! It took me an hour and a half to make ONE! FH felt so bad that i spend to much time on them that he said if i really want them we'll just buy them! Thats how ugly they were! HAHAAA
Im a little nervous about trying anything else since im pretty crappy at it

I am making my E-party favors now which is not so bad... I had stickers made up with our name and date of the eparty I am putting them on a box which I have to put together myslef and inside will be our save the date magnets which I will be ordering soon so that wasnt hard for me.
I also plan on doing my own card box which seem really easy if you look on the DIY thread.
I might even try doing my own center pieces to save money but I havent put to much though into it yet.
The fact that you try something on your own esp to save money says something about you! I give you an A for effort!!

I am SO not crafty. I saw a bride on here that made a seating chart though and blew it up at kinkos and it came out nice! i might attempt that.

In my head I see myself doing a lot of DIY projects BUT in reality I'm pretty awful at that stuff
I'm going to try a few things, FH is awesome at craft stuff so whatever I do he can probably fix!!

I'm not really doing any. I haven't thought about it enough so we'll see. Maybe the table numbers, putting favors together, stuff like that
