Personalize plain or borrowed vases by wrapping them with twine secured with hot glue for a natural or rustic look. Alternatively, use metallic spray paint, sequins, or washi tape for different aesthetic effects. This easy DIY allows you to transform basic vases into customized centerpieces that match your wedding theme without purchasing expensive specialty vessels. Best done a few weeks before the wedding as an easy evening project.

DIY Your Wedding Signage and Paper Goods

Save $300-800 by creating your own welcome signs, table numbers, menus, and programs using Canva templates and printing through online services like Vistaprint or Minted. For a polished look, stick to 2-3 fonts and your wedding colors. Print on quality cardstock. You can also hand-letter or use a Cricut machine for a custom touch. Leave complex items like invitations to professionals unless you have design experience.

Create Your Own Centerpieces

Simple, elegant centerpieces are easy to DIY. Try: candles in varying heights with greenery, potted plants or succulents guests can take home, books stacked with flowers on top (great for literary themes), or filled glass vases with lemons, cranberries, or seasonal items. Buy supplies wholesale from flower markets or craft stores. Recruit friends for an assembly party the week before. Can save $500-1,500 depending on guest count.

DIY Your Wedding Favors But Not Centerpieces

Wedding favors are perfect for DIY—small, can be made months ahead, and mistakes aren't catastrophic. Avoid DIY centerpieces: they're time-consuming, require fresh flowers day-before, and take up precious prep time. Outsource things that need last-minute assembly.
