When Wedding DIY Spells Stress!

We all know that do it yourself projects are a great way to save money on your wedding celebration and personalize your wedding at the same time. By doing some of the work yourself you can be certain that no one has the exact same wedding reception decorations in the chapel or reception hall.

But...

Do-it-yourself means more of your time in a period of your life that is already time challenged. As a result, what seemed like a good idea for a way to save money or make your wedding stand out (or both) often becomes a nightmare of stress as you race to get everything done.

Your engagement period and ensuing wedding is supposed to be a happy celebration, not the reason you lost your hair.

So, if you want, choose one or two DIY items (like your own chocolate wedding favors), do them early in your wedding planning process if possible (you don't want to be up until 3 the night before your wedding making hair jewelry for your bridal party), and have the rest done for you. It will save you a lot of stress.
