Going DIY could mean you&#8217;d like to have more influence on style matters and personalization&#8211;although saving a few bucks is a plus! If you&#8217;re thinking about going the wedding do-it-yourself route, keep these six things in mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only DIY small projects<\/strong>. It&#8217;s your wedding! You don&#8217;t want to spend these special days smearing frosting on a cake or stressing over centerpieces. Unless you&#8217;re planning in advance&#8211;way in advance, don&#8217;t take on big projects. Stick to choosing the bridesmaids gifts or customizing your makeup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cut corners on the ceremony decor<\/strong>. The shortest part of your wedding day is the ceremony. If you&#8217;ve opted for a church or chapel wedding you&#8217;re probably already surrounded in beauty! Don&#8217;t over do it on the decor. DIY pew bows or altar decorations are a small project that you can handle&#8211;probably without stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t cut corners on photos<\/strong>. Pictures last forever and you don&#8217;t want to spend all eternity staring back, cross-eyed from your wedding photo. Don&#8217;t DIY those photos. Hiring a relative or a friend to save a few bucks isn&#8217;t a good idea unless they have a few proven track record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can easily opt for DIY invitations<\/strong>! With so many great software choices and online invite templates, you can do this without worry! So go ahead and opt for the do-it-yourself invites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do hire a caterer when possible<\/strong>. Your Aunt Jane may cook like a pro but there&#8217;s more to catering than cooking. A professional caterer knows how to handle stressful situations like greedy gu<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
