    I have so many diy projects to do. Some of them can't be done until further out on the wedding (escort cards, etc)

    but many of them, I could be doing now...

    i have purchased materials for many of the projects, but can't seem to get to a starting point on anything.

    this is what i have to do:

    -escort cards (must wait until rsvps arrive...)
    -seating chart (waiting)
    -moss letters (ok, i actually have started on this...feeling better now! lol!)
    -menus
    -wedding map
    -website (DONE)
    -programs (i know about how many we'll need and could start on this. i have bought the supplies for it)
    -stds (done but still collecting addresses and sending)
    -invites (still working on what i'm doing...)
    -table # signs 
    -guest table sign
    -bar sign (sign with signature drink recipe and sign with bar "menu")
    -instructional signs (for cocktail hour games)
    -i spy signs
    -directional signage (with arrows to wedding, reception, parking)
    -place cards and place card holders
    -birdcage veil (just bought most of the materials but they arent here yet)
    -favor tags / favor decor
    -guest book
    -OOT bags
    -bridesmaid gifts (mostly done)
    -belly bands-card box-pomander balls

    i think this is my list...hopefully i didnt forget anything!

    what have you done and what is your to-do list on the diy front??

    I am not doing a ton of projects.  Right now my list includes:

    Stuffing, addressing, mailing invites (don't need to mail until around end of June/beginning of July)

    Table numbers - took the pictures, need them printed and matted

    Print menus

    Print escort cards/bookmark favors and mat them - won't happen until a few weeks before wedding

    Finish writing vows

    And that's it!  I am making certain that I have a light load!

    oh, i forgot the vows part (oops!)

    we are going to use a traditional vow, but make a few little changes here and there, so i dont think that will be a biggie...but i do need to add that to the list. that is what this is all about, after all! :)

     

    thanks for the reminder!

    Yes, I have been. I also forgot to put the vows on my list, but they are in process. I want to have everything done 6 months prior to the wedding, so I don't have to think about it.

    That is very good thinking...Im aiming to have all mine done by the end of the month. (might be wishful thinking)

    (Well, the things that I can do now...I can prep the escort cards/place cards but I won't be able to write names on them until I have RSVPs)
