DIY: Do It Yourself Projects

Do It Yourself projects have always been a part of weddings. Since the economy took a wrong turn, DIY projects have become more and more popular. Some DIY projects are great ways to save money and great to do yourself, some others leave it to the professionals.

Good DIY to do yourself:
Place cards: Creating place cards yourself are great! You can usually print these off your home computer and can create great ways to display them. For a fall wedding you can make the guests name a leaf on an apple.


Wish Tree: Wish trees are becoming more and more popular. If you are unfamiliar wish trees take the place of a guestbook. Guests write some sort of best wish or congratulations to the bride and groom and then hang it on a tree display. These you can do yourself. If you are looking for a raw natural look you can use natural branches. If you want a nicer look you can order branches. Take the branches place them in a tall slender vase tightly. Make cards about 3 x 5 and thread very small ribbon through each card for guests to hang the card by.


Favors: You can do all kinds of things for favors yourself. Get the bridesmaids and family involved and can fruit. You can put monogram labels on your favorite wine bottles, soda bottles, or snack treat. I once heard about a wedding that gave their guests twinkies with their monogram on the package. You can also create your own candy bar. All you need is unique glassware, candy, and containers


Leave it to the professionals:

Food: You would not believe what it takes to make a buffet or plated dinner function for a 100 people. Yes you have to have the food, the warming containers, the plates, napkins, utensils, cups, and ice, but you have to prepare the food at the right time to make sure it is not overcooked nor undercooked. The preparation time is going on usually when the ceremony is happening. Plus during the reception you have to make sure the food is constantly replenished,not getting cold. Plus after the event you are in charge of all clean-up of the food, prep area, and even the trash!



Rentals: Buying or renting a tent is a common request from brides & grooms. First you want to rent the tent. Professional rental companies have the right structures and sizes for your event. Remember you don't only fit tables and chairs, you night fit a bar, a dancefloor, a buffet, a cake table, a gift table, and a favor table under a tent. Professionals know the exact square footage you will need. As for setting up the tent, Yes you want a pro to do it. One is liability. If you set the tent up and it falls on your guests, or the wind blows it out the ground or a rope comes lose you and you alone are held liable for any injuries or damage. Professionals will make sure the tent is stable ans secured, but please remember natural law of science occur. If extreme high winds (like straight or tornado winds) occur get your guests out of the tent. Professional rental companies are usually familiar with various venues and can suggest items to make the event safe and enjoyable for all your guests.

Flowers: Yes bouquets and boutonnieres are flowers that will probably die after the wedding, but I have witnessed first hand DIY flowers. Some flowers are very sensitive and cannot just be cut and tied with ribbon. Hydrangea are popular for spring and summer but these flowers need a water source at all times or they will wilt easily.Roses are stable flowers, but if they are open too much the petals will fall off before your even go down the aisle. Professional florists will make sure the flowers for your wedding will sustain the outside elements and look gorgeous!
