List of DIY projects.

My programs are done (Eventually i'll post some pictures) and I basically used Microsoft publisher. They have their own templates and I found one i liked. I filled in whatever they wanted and am going to print them out on cardstock and embellish it with some ribbon.
Haven't gotten to the Menu yet.

Everyones DIY list is different (I think BellaRegina covered pretty much everything!) But I made it a goal of mine to have my DIY projects done 3 months before the wedding. I know there are going to be things I forgot, things I can't do until right before the wedding, and just a hectic time period in general. I've found that setting aside a few hours a week helps me get things done on time. (Sundays after dinner is when I am most productive.)

List of DIY projects.

I'm the world's most un-crafty person, marrying the man with the world's most crafty mother (but our tastes don't quite always match up...lol) but here's what we're trying to do on our own:

Save-the-Date
Ring-bearer bible (will carry rings on vintage bible, not pillow...saw the idea on pinterest and loved it!)
Guestbook
Card Box
Flip-Flop basket for dancing
Ceremony Programs
Favors
Seating Chart
Bridal Shower invites
Bridal Shower decor (arab themed)


...What does your memorial table look like? my fiance's grandparents and my grandmother have passed and i know it would mean a lot to our parents if we included remembrance of them...but how?

For the memorial table I bought really pretty pitcure holders...its hard to descibe but i'll post a picture when i get a second and my florist is making three water pillars with a candle in each. We will put that somewhere (not sure yet) with the wedding pictutes of my FH's mom and my grandfather since they have passed. Something simple and pretty.
