    I am getting married on March 24, 2012......Approximately 3 months 23 days!!! I am beginning to realize more and more that I may be slightly insane! I have it set in my mind to completely a large list of DIY projects for the wedding. I will list them below:

    - Making my own wedding shoes.......time consuming but I do this on the side anyways

    - Making my Maid Of Honor's shoes

    - Making my Flower Girl's shoes

    - Make long narrow Flower boxes to line the steps to the stage and then filling them with real or fake white hydrangeas

    - OOT Bags/Boxes filled with personalized items( water bottles, soap, chap stick etc)

    - OOT Booklet with information about the town, things to do, important contacts, timeline of events, directions, hand drawn maps, personalized crossword puzzle

    - Survival kit for my Bridesmaids

    - Bag for Flower Girl, Junior Bridesmaids (2), Ring Bearer

    - Making Flip Flops for Bridal Party

    - Making Tags for the Flips Flops we are providing for Guests and then ataching them with proper sizes

    - Making labels for the Candy Boxes with our Monogram and sticking them on each box

    - Make a label for a pair of socks I will be giving to my Husband to be that says "For My Husband-To-Be In Case You Get Cold Feet From Your Loving Bride March 24,2012"

    - Making Tissues for The Ceremony with labels

    - Making Door Hangers for OOT guests

     

     

    So I need HELP! Does anyone have any advice on what I need to get started....where to start, tools, applications, or anything else that I need to get in order to get these projects knocked out?

     

    I realize I have quite a bit to do and absolutely ZERO help from anyone....most of the Bridal Party is out of State and my Family is all long distance.......soooooo I am going to rely on the fellow Weddingbee members to give me some helpful tips :)

     

     

    Thank you Ladies!

    I am DIY for a lot of stuff as well and had a 4 month time frame. I am 2 months in and what has helped me writting on a planner every day I have off work what my project will be. If you love crafting then it's more fun then anything. Save your coupons! I don't buy anything from Jo-ann's or Michaels without a coupon. Research on here. Anytime you need some kind of supply or decor just search on wedding bee the cheapest place to get it. If you don't know how to make something there will usually always be a tutorial online or on youtube to show you how. Start with what's most important first and so if you don't finish anything it's no big deal. Good luck!
