    More. We don't know how many, but quite a few, since we are also diying our own fresh flowers and maybe the cake!

    I might make my own signs and decorations but my fiancé is an amazing graphic designer and he’s going to design our invitations!

    Definitely more! I plan to make my escort cards/favors that are wood coasters. I am also planning to make my own centerpieces and bouquets. And I have a set of cornhole boards that I am repainting for the reception.

    The majority of my wedding will be DIY since we have a super small budget. I am not known to be crafty so y'all please wish me luck. I'm super excited to get started though!

    I do not consider myself too crafty so for my wedding I didn't want to do too much on my own. But we did do more than 1 DIY. We made the favors, homemade applesauce. We also did the seating charts (wrote names on large picture frames with engagement photos in the background). We had decals made for each of our bridal party and put their names on a glass too so they all had a special glass for the reception. One other thing I did was glitter-izing vases! I bought plain cylinder glass vases and added gold glitter to make them sparkle. I made one for each bridesmaid and myself to set our flowers in during the reception.

    I'm not sure the exact total yet, but definitely more than one. Right now, we're likely DIYing our invite suite, table centerpieces, and handfasting cords. We might DIY some sort of guestbook or guestbook equivalent.

    Pretty much my entire wedding was going to be DIY. Now, the ceremony venue doesn't allow decorations, so if I DIY anything, it'll be for a small reception.

    We are going to be making our center pieces, my Dad is helping me make a center piece for the welcoming table/ guest book. I would like to make a backdrop to be hung behind my fiancé and I during the reception but everything I like seems too complicated to make on my own

    We're doing a lot of DIY. We've designed our table decor and we've done our own stationary which has saved us a lot!! Our dresses aren't diy but they're not traditional either lol

    I'm not even sure how many. Right now, the invitations, the programs for the reception, the table markers, the favors, and some flowers. DANG! I really hadn't given it much thought but that's 5.

    Everything I diy'd:

    centerpieces for reception

    boutonnieres

    wedding programs

    addressed the invitations myself. just did fancy cursive.

    bought used bouquets

    flower girl baskets (bought little white buckets and decorated them myself)

    bought a used arch, and decorating it myself

    bought half of my decor at used and at garage sales.

    made the signs for guestbook and gift tables

    It SOOOO saves money!

    A lot of our wedding will be DIY. Our wedding isn't until 2021 so we have some time, but since a few months after we got engaged I've been slowly collecting things to put together.
