How many... DIY projects?

The more I count it up in my head and read other responses, the more I think I am an outlier here. Crafting and arting is where I find my zen though, so this chills me out rather adding stress.
I'm doing a lot of DIY including:

- Designing from scratch the invitations (Vistaprint is printing)

- Designing from scratch all the signs, place cards, and table number signs (Vistaprint is printing)

- Embroidering 12-15 table runners

- Making 12-15 centerpieces

- Making up and laminating photobooth props

- My my own "throw bouquet" (everything else will be off of etsy)

- Possibly making the card box (this one is up in the air atm)

So, counting each table runner individually because of the time it takes, 15-17.

Three-ish. My bouquet, my fiance is making a "guestbook" with a piece of wood from where we are getting married (so I'm not really doing anything with this) and then we want to paint two shot glasses with our names and wedding date to go in our wine box which will likely be a jagermeister box, hence the shot glasses 😂. We were going to order some but they were $50 everywhere I looked just to get two made and we can definitely do them ourselves for a lot cheaper; enamel paint is only $5.

Im just doing 1. it was cheaper for us to rent stuff!

2-centrepieces, which we also used as ceremony decor and favours, and a word cloud

Yup! I am finding out that by the time we add up the costs of materials & time, it is not a huge savings compared to renting or purchasing.

Thought I was going to DIY a lot more for the wedding but ended up with no diys. Did a lot for my engagement party and shower though!

Same here thought I'd be doing more then I end up buying everything lol

1 for sure, possibly 2 or 3. We're making homemade sponge toffee for the favours (and by we I mean my mom, hers is AMAZINGGGGG). And then we're either assembling the packaging and labels or a friend is doing it as her wedding gift to us. A 4th possibility is using a clear caulking to secure fairy lights around the inside of a terrarium dome.

We will be creating our guest book and the scrolls for our favours. So only two, I am not crafty at all and will be leaving all projects to those who are!

Oh boy - a lot. All our signage, invites, some florals, favours.

Few done at home using the printer. Welcome package including program for guests per room at the venue. All in whole it looked like this

Heaven note for the gift table kept with the Guest Book.

Wedding Program for the ceremony itself.

Not too many I guess? DIY decor but it is really easy (just a tablescape) and then carving out some pumpkins to be vases.

0 lol - I have no sense of creativity at all LOL

I was team DIY Until I(We) Die!

DIY projects: invitations, signs, decorative bows, flower boxes, cake stand, centerpieces, and favours.

That's at least 7 but there was probably 1-2 more in there.

Ugh probably quite a bit, the list keeps growing!

I made our centrepieces, made a memorial window and made my throwing bouquet. So 3 projects

We don't have a set number. Definitely flowers, maybe wedding signs too.

Only a couple - most centrepieces and seating chart!

I'll be dying and making my flowers, I'll be putting together my snowglobe table numbers, I'll be doing the place cards, I'll be putting together the candy bar but that one won't take too much time, my mom and I will make the small cutting cake then I'll just buy another cake to be divided behind the scenes or get cupcakes and I'll be putting together the centerpieces. I thought about making invitations but I think I'd rather just buy them. I think that's enough but who knows what will come up....

Quite a few, I can't say a number for sure but our wedding party are all coming over this weekend to do some DIY projects with us!

1. That is the most of my creativity lol. We did our guest book. I stenciled the writing onto a piece of wood, and my DH used a wood burner to trace it

I just finished all my favours this weekend, then I'm doing my own place cards/table seating chart, did all my own stationary. I was also going to be baking my own cake/cupcakes when I started planning but then literally everyone told me it was a bad idea. I think the only other DIY I'll be doing will be the table numbers. Oh and the signs for my iced tea station!

I did all the signs, my Baba did the bouquets, and then the rings were custom made by our designs!
