I do! Thanks for the tips and insight. I'm trying to plan a wedding on as little of a budget as possible, doing most of the work by myself, in six weeks, so this is exactly the kind of stuff I need.

I only wish I'd seen this before I made my invites, which I've already sent out. The ones above look way more polished. Oh well…

Hahahah… I'm a crafty beeyatch (I try to be anyway!). I just think this topic is a very important one, especially since NO ONE has expendable income anymore. Right? RIGHT girls and guys?

This is the kind of post I would like to see more of on offbeatbride. It's such a nice way to get your creative juices flowing. It's one thing to see a final product but when you see the steps you see more opportunity for customization. A++

DIY is all the rage, isn't it? I wish I'd had the letterpress tutorial when I tried to do my invites. You might want to include another 'how-to' guide on resolving wedding drama because the whole thing can get pretty intense, especially when you throw in crafting!

I saw the video of how to make a wedding dress for 10.00, its out of t shirts which can be done if you're a good sewer and having a simple, casual wedding. But won't work if you are having a formal wedding. I was going to sew a t shirt wedding gown for my hawaiian theme wedding but ended up wearing a red laced wedding gown instead. Now I wished I had made me a t shirt wedding gown since I had a bit of problems with a formal gown at a casual wedding. I should just make one for our second wedding we are planning since my grooms family could not make it and they are planning it for us. Anyways thanks for posting these ideas and hints for wedding planning!!
