So I have decided in order to save costs and make our wedding as much US as possible I am creating most aspects of our wedding on my own which for me is fun but also a little stressful.
The Save the Dates went out last week and I created those which was tons of fun and I got lots of compliments on! It was so simple too! I just went to the beach wrote "Save the Date" and i wrote our names in the sand and when I got home i photo shopped them together and added a text box with our wedding date and WOW! an awesome save the date card! I just had to order then in the form of post cards, address them and stamp!
The next aspect of our DIY wedding will the be the invitations. I just received the paper today from the online co. that you can order paper from for fairly cheap and My mom and I will be spending spring break assembling those! Tons of FUN :)
I will also be creating the favors, programs, and many of the decorations. What I won't be DIY is Photography, I have hired Joey Wooton to do that for us! And Flowers, The flower Basket on HI road will be doing that!
I ALSO am going to ATTEMPT to make our wedding cake! I have signed up for the cake decorating class at Micheal's where we are learning how to decorate cake. So far I haven't had a chance to actually decorate yet but I have confidence that I will be good at it and quite capable of making the cake that I want for our wedding without having to pay the $500 everyone is charging!!! Since I am in the cake decorating course I will also be making alot of different cakes over the next few weeks so if anyone has an awesome cake recipie they would like to share I would love to try and make it!!!
I am loving the DIY wedding because it allows for me to input lots of my own creativity into the wedding as well as save a lot of money!! But I don't recommend it for those with little time because it can create quite a bit of stress!!
