Projects I won't be doing

As a cheap and  fairly crafty person (of the good-with-a-glue-gun sort, not sketchy) I'd like to make as many wedding details as I can without giving up every ounce of my spare time. Right now I'm planning on making table numbers, paper flower decorations for the candy buffet, and I've already finished the jewelry for my lovely bridesmaids. While I might add a couple of things along the way, these are projects I can definitely finish in 11 months.

During times when I should be working/cleaning/packing, I prefer to surf wedding sites for decoration ideas. Under headings like DIY (do-it-yourself) I find some useful ideas and several hilariously unnecessary projects. Here are my top 3 favorites that won't be featured at our wedding:

1.) "Tears of Joy" packets. These will end up on the floor or in your guests' noses. Then how will you feel about their cost?


2.) Personalized bridesmaid hangers. For that moment when you can't remember which dress in your closet is for the wedding.

3.) Customized "Do Not Disturb" wedding signs. How else will you keep random people from wandering into your hotel room, besides the self-locking doors?

Any other wedding details that, from the guest's perspective, I can cross off my list?

  2. Hahaha, they're artistic little packets of tissues. You know, for when you are openly weeping at the ceremony.
