    I like being the crafty one while my FH is definitely not crafty, if it were up to him he would pay people to do everything or just go without.

    As for our DIY's, we have 3 to 5 projects. I made the save the dates myself and I'm considering doing the invites myself too. We are putting the centerpieces together as well as the photo backdrop and I plan on doing the bouquets myself but do have someone in mind in case I bail on that plan.

    We have a few but also my FFIL is handling a couple for us since hes a handy man. We will be building our own arch and we will make our own bar which we will later move to our backyard for entertaining.

    I am a very big do-it-yourself person. I have a list of about 20 DIY projects, some more simpler than others. Everything from creating decor, to making a hair piece out of my mom and grandma's old wedding dresses. I like being able to put my own touch on things and being able to save money at the same time as well.

    I just decided last night that I'm utilizing DIY projects to decorate my wedding. It's cheaper than hiring someone else.

    More than one!
    I made our centerpiece paper flowers out of maps for our travel theme. I also made table names(we are naming the tables after places we have traveled together) bouquets, and will be making our seating chart!

    We're not that crafty but we've completed quite a few DIY projects for the wedding. Thankfully, they're almost all completed.

    Ha. Ha. HAHAHAHAAHAAAH DIY? You mean my minimalist 22 celtic wreathes I'm suspending on a bar in midair to float behind us during the ceremony? the swooping bits of evergreen garland and white tulle going up the church steeple? My "Acrylic" signs ( cough-cheap dollar store frames & glass-cough) my wedding invites?? my save the dates? my shoes ( which im using a tutorial to hotfix swarvoskis to leather character shoes), my veil?? ( which im adding crystals to?) my 3 different types of centerpieces? the backdrop? the floral pins/boutonnieres for those participating in the ceremony outside of bridesmaids and groomsmen? there is like 80 DIYs in here. But I did this to myself, and i am an artist so ofcourse crafting is my thing.

    One. I limited myself to one and still procrastinated it and ended up not liking it... I should've bought it instead.

    I made the STD’s and I’m making the invitations. I’m making the cupcakes. I’m making centerpieces. I’m making boutonnières.

    FH is building our arch, cornhole boards, cupcake stands, and benches.

    We're going to have to do a couple, but not many. We're not very crafty people, nor do we honestly have the patience for certain tasks!!!

    We'll have multiple. I'm ordering the flowers in bulk and arranging myself. We'll do a fair amount of DIY decorating.
