Do It Yourself & Save Money on Your Wedding
|
DIY It: Wedding tasks you can do yourself •Wedding Favors •Simple Centerpieces •Cupcakes (instead of a wedding cake) •Ring Cushion •Flower Girl Basket •Load your wedding music on to an MP3 player. (Enlist a tech-savvy friend to make sure your first dance song, entrance music, cake cutting music etc. is playing at the right time) •Bridal Hair & Makeup •Sponsor Corsage •Save the Date Cards, Programs, & Escort Cards •A decorated guest book, card box, photo album, or other keepsake For the Pros: Wedding tasks that should be left to the professionals •Large Flower Arrangements & Centerpieces •Bridal & Bridesmaid bouquets •Your Wedding Dress •Bridesmaids dresses •A Wedding Cake •Catering •Photography Make a budget for each DIY project you want to tackle, especially if your goal is to save money from your wedding budget. It may surprise to find out that some things are cheaper when done by the professionals, whilst others can cost you just a few cents each to make or more should you choose expensive materials to create them with! Wedding favors are a good example, whilst a simple box of almonds of chocolates is relatively inexpensive to produce & decorate, making food based favors personal keepsakes could cost you a lot more per item to make. Often ready made wedding favors from an online store are cheaper per head then making them yourself, so do your research first. If you are naturally creative & regularly produce handicrafts then you could probably produce your items within your original budget. It would also be wise not to take on too many projects at once. Try to complete one a month so that you have plenty of time to finish it to standard you are pleased with. Be sure to finish all your projects at least a week before the wedding & keep in mind that DIY stands for Do It Yourself – not Drive Yourself Insane!
