Chante JVR

With a month to go before my wedding, I thought I’d share with you guys my top 3 wedding DIYs. Your wedding day is a special occasion that celebrates love and commitment. While many couples opt for professional wedding planners and vendors, there’s a unique charm in adding a personal touch to your big day through Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects. In this blog post, we’ll explore three creative and meaningful DIY ideas that can make your wedding even more memorable. I’ve tried to choose the most simple and pain-free DIYs because who wants more stress when you’re getting married!

1. Handcrafted Wedding Invitations: The first glimpse your guests will have of your wedding is the invitation. Creating handcrafted wedding invitations adds a personal touch and sets the tone for your celebration. Here’s how to get started:

Materials:

• Blank cards or paper
• Decorative paper or patterned cardstock
• Craft glue or double-sided tape
• Ribbon or twine
• Stamps, ink pads, or calligraphy pens

Steps:

a. Design your invitation layout on a computer or hand-draw it for a rustic feel.

b. Print or write your invitation details onto the blank cards or paper.

c. Decorate the invitations with decorative paper, stamps, or calligraphy for an elegant touch.

d. Add a ribbon or twine to tie the invitation together.

2. Personalized Wedding Favours: Wedding favors are a lovely way to express gratitude to your guests for sharing in your special day. Personalized favors add a unique touch. Here’s an idea for creating custom wedding favors:

Materials:

• Props (e.g., silly hats, masks, boas)
• Photo booth signage

Steps:

a. Choose a spot with good lighting and set up your backdrop.

b. Place the camera on a tripod or secure your smartphone.
