I have been thinking lately that half the hassle I face with planning my wedding is that I can't play hostess and DO IT ALL. With my culinary, bartending, and paper prowess I have thrown wonderful dinner parties and this wedding is just another party - but alas I forget that I am one of the major components of it and I will NOT be able to play hostess! I dream of all the food i want to prepare, the endless signature cocktails that I can shake, and the amazing decorating I can fashion from paper products! Sigh. I have to make do with the things that I can do ahead for the wedding and look forward to enjoying the day as a bride not a hostess.
After reading about do-it-yourself (DIY) projects I realized this term should really be do-it-MYSELF (DIM)! As in, "$4K for a wedding planner?! Screw that I am going to DIM!" So here is the list of things that are on my DIM list:
1. my bouquet
2. boutenieres/corsages
3. all floral centerpieces and alter pieces
4. pomanders
5. slideshow
6. programs
7. signature luncheon cocktail
8. thank you photo cards
9. guest favors - those felt fortune cookies look neat!
10. if i don't pass out from #1-9, a runner
What is on your DIM list?
