DIY Projects that Didn’t Make the Cut

We all know how awesome it feels to check things off your to-do list, right? Well, I’ll be the first to tell you this: It feels even better to dropkick projects off your to-do list.

In case you’re curious, here’s two projects that have recently been dropkicked off my to-do list:

1. Moss monograms. Sure, it’d be super cute to have guests walk into the chapel and see two lovely monograms hanging from ribbon. It’d be even cuter to have a picture of said monograms. But, and here’s the real deal: Hours of labor (plus lots of $$) is not worth ONE FREAKING PICTURE.

2. “Yay” flags. I fell in love with these little flags when I first spotted them on Vintage Glam. However, for the same reason as I gave above, while these would make for a great camera shot or two, TOTALLY not worth the hours of labor-intensive work.

I’m all for DIY. Trust me, I’ve been living inside my own little DIY whirlwind for the past 9 months. But, as I’m (gasp!) exiting the world of DIY and entering the real world again (hiiiiiiiii, premarital counseling; oh hellooooooo, how-can-we-afford-a-honeymoon-on-a-meager-budget), I’m coming out of it all a little more sassy (and, truthfully, no worse for the wear).

How does your wedding exhaustion manifest itself? Crabbiness? Anger? Depression? Excitement? Elation? Sass (like me)?
