    We aren't having a big wedding but we have still done a fair bit of DIY. I have made my brooch bouquet, h2b has made our quaiche and I designed our invites and my dress ( but professionally made).

    I am now starting on making my side tiara and I'll be making our handfasting cord after that. Mil2b is making our cake.

    we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying
    weirdness and call it love, true love.

    I have no idea yet! I have so many ideas and so much I want to do myself but I just don't know if I am good enough!!

    I saw some lovey clothes pegs painted to be a bride and groom, I will be making them. Don't know what for - maybe place card holders, or just an accessory! I'm not a P.U so can't post pictures, sorry.
    My cousin is making my invites and other paper stuff, just waiting on samples (first lot got lost in the post!! Grrr)

    I want to make a lot myself and really out my own spin in everything but nothing so far!!

    I have made save the dates and two bridesmaid wire bags. In the process of making the invites now and getting them ready to send out so we can send birth announcements too (baby due in 10 days)

    Still to make:
    favours including nametags (double up as place cards)
    my bouquet
    button holes (male + female)
    BM posies x2
    my mum is making a bracelet for me (using beads from a necklace left to me by a family member)
    Table plan
    Table runners (made with a pair of curtains)
    Table centres
    fresh bouquets as thank you gifts for my mum OH's mum and our grandmothers

    Still lots to do but getting through it at a steady pace and having help from my mum and nan (more hands makes production much faster!!)

    Loving doing all of these things for the wedding, makes it so much more personal and unique to us as a couple xx

    I also have the DIY bug - I started making invitations because the price was just so much for what you get but once I started I found I got so much enjoyment out of making these bits, I've just made most everything I can (and saved a fortune)
    Invites
    Place name cards
    Favour boxes
    Childrens activity boxes plus the activity bookelts
    All flowers/ bouquets/buttonholes/table centres and top table display
    Table names
    Various signs (sweet table/flip flop box etc)
    Bought loads of sweets wholesale and plastic cookie jars so decorating those.
    Table plan board
    Ladies bathroom box of goodies
    Will make sweet trees

    Wasn't sure they look brilliant but actually decided I don't care if they look home made :-)

    Have a few pics of making things along the way if you want to take a nosey

    ty Brilly x haha yes, spare knickers - you never know ;)
    I cheated with the napkins - someone else made those for me - one of my extravagant things £20 for 100 napkins :-)
    It's just foil lettering though, but would work out almost as expensive to buy a kit/foil

    I am making, with help:
    - Around 40 invitations (to ceremony and reception)
    - Place names
    - Table names
    - Table plan
    - Menus
    - Favours
    - Any other stationary I've forgotten to mention
    - Table decorations

    My MIL is making the cake and my auntie is making four bridesmaid dresses and one flowergirl dress, all with little bags. I am so excited to see them next week!

    I am not hiring a photographer as they are incredibly expensive so I am letting my brother, auntie and uncle-in-law take pictures. My OH will edit them as he is quite creative like that.

    think thats everything well til i see something else i like lol my bm (only 1 old enough to help) is useless so i pretty much have to do everything myself but atleast im in control then. A very talented family member is making our cake so atleast i dont have to do that also! its a lot of work but im doing as much as ic an now so i only have to deal with fresh things closer the time. plus doing weddingy things makes me even more excited!

    One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
