DIY Reality Check

031210_reception_300


We know you brides love your projects, but have you ever felt like you bit off more than you can chew? (If you're like me, you may be starting to regret that you said you'd sew all 75 napkins for the reception dinner...).



Well today, the folks at 1000 Layer Cakes have raised the same question. Their guest blogger (Rachel from Heart of Light blog) says that she planned a complete DIY wedding for her sister. As in -- they glued invitations together, made the food themselves, made all the decor -- practically did everything except age their own champagne!



But was it worth it? Would it have been better open their wallets a bit wider and relieve some of the stress in days leading up to the wedding? She presents this really cute DIY flowchart (at the end of this post) so you can ask yourself the same question as you plan your own wedding! So cute! You have to try it! You can download a PDF version here.



So you tell us, are you regretting taking on any DIY projects as your big day approaches?
