There’s a really common misunderstanding in “wedding planning world” that doing things yourself is ALWAYS a good way to save money.
I get it. In some situations, you may have more time than money … and a cheap & easy DIY project makes perfect sense.
However, I bet if you think back, you can remember a time when “doing it yourself” was NOT the answer. Be careful in drawing the line between a few manageable, simple wedding projects that make perfect sense – and biting off more than you can chew.
Otherwise, you may find yourself in a spot of pure overwhelm and chaos months into wedding planning … and I don’t wish that upon anyone!!!
