DIY Wedding

Mods, if this isn't the right place to post this, please feel free to move it.

Who else is planning a wedding this year? Mine is set for July 23, and I'm on an extremely tight budget. We're having the ceremony in a public park, and while we're still trying to find a reception site it's going to be along the same lines. I'm going to be doing a lot myself; decorations, invitations, and possibly food. Anyone care to share their DIY wedding tips or pictures? I'll post more ideas as I get further into planning.

My wedding was Years ago, but I made my own flower girl baskets. Hot glue can be your friend. I also printed my SIL's shower invites at home. Keep an eye out for DIY invites on sale. Happens often.

Hey there!

My wedding was three years ago, but I did EVERYTHING myself! We made our own cupcakes and cupcake stands, our own invitations, did our own music, food.. the whole nine yards.. and it only cost me 900 dollars :D

I wish it would have cost less, but there it is. I would recommend starting early and getting as much done as you can.. and don't be afraid to incorporate the use of friends!

Good luck and congratulations!
