Suggestions on an affordable camcorder or one someone wants to sell? I prefer user friendly and in good condition. Looking to buy second hand but don’t know what I should get. Old? New? I appreciate the look of older recordings but also am open to better devices if they’re current. Looking to have my younger brother film our courthouse wedding.

I’m having around 100 guests and I want to make sure everyone is having a good time. But I’m a bit worried I’m going overboard. I’m going to try to list everything that I have for the guests to do/play if they want. I plan on having disposable camera the guests can take pictures with so I can get more pics and I had fun doing this at a relative’s wedding a year ago. I also want to have corn hole outside that they have the option to play as well as maybe a couple decks of cards if anyone wants to play a game(my family does play a lot of cards). On top of that I’m thinking of having 2 games at each seat. It’s just a piece of paper essentially but it would be a little trivia questionare on the couple(us) and a bingo card if different guests(ie somone who’s never broken a bone, someone wearing polka dots etc.) as a way to break the ice at reception while me and my mans are taking pics after the ceremony and there would be a couple prizes for both. And I know I’ve already listed a bunch but I’m thinking it would be fun to do the shoe game while they call up table numbers for the buffet or something. My fiance thinks I’m going overboard and this will overwhelm people and clutter the space. I understand since where the hell will I leave the cards and I don’t wanna force the games down people’s throats. What do you guys think? What are you planning? I love hearing about other people’s weddings :)

Hoping to get some ideas! I'm in the process of making my Table numbers & place cards. Fiancé and I have been together for 10 years, and we have 10 tables at our wedding. I want to do the table numbers as each of the years together, but feel like it might be confusing and look random.

At first I just had each one as "Table 2015, Table 2016..." etc and a photo from each year, but is that clear? Should I do "Year 1, Year 2" instead? Or put a little sentence about each year? Kinda stuck. It makes sense to ME but don't want everyone not understanding where to sit bc it's Table 2020 lol

I'm a wedding planner, and I've noticed that many recent couples are leaning towards custom wedding invitations, table number cards, and place cards...This seems like a great opportunity to turn it into a stable side hustle... Has anyone else ventured into this? How did it go for you?

So, I was thinking maybe a seating chart but I feel like it might be too late for that (timeline-wise). Any other ideas?!

Trying to understand what I should plan for....

I have a concept in mind... looking for a customized solution for a reasonable price

Hello! I really want these (picture attached) to be my centerpieces bc they look so simple and elegant. I am going to be setting up the table decor for the wedding morning of with my close friends and family. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can accomplish this without my flowers dying? I’m assuming greenery & baby’s breath can be left out of water for a decent amount of time so I can get those laid out morning of; but the buds would def die. If my reception is starting at 6 pm, could I have my Day-of-coordinator set the buds in place like right before guests come in?? The centerpiece looks so simple and I may be overthinking but I’m stressing about how to accomplish it! Any tips are appreciated :))

Hello, so I’m starting to plan my wedding and I’m OVERWHELMED. Sorry in advance if it sounds like just ranting bc I lowkey am lol.

We’re trying to budget as much as we can without being too cheap and I’m trying to diy however I can to help w costs. One issue I’m running into is figuring out renting be buying/thrifting. For instance I’m renting tables and chairs and maybe some heaters(I have to figure out how cool July nights get in our venue in CA). But I’m not sure about serving utensils and platters, decorative items, drink dispensers, table cloths, etc.

I see a lot of people happy with thrifting and I see a lot that but and resale what they use. And also sometimes renting is easiest. I know I would love to thrift glassware but realistically I don’t want to clean all that after. Same with nice plates vs paper plates. I’d rather save the money and cleanup time with paper. And why use chargers if I have paper plates?

And I’m really in love with the idea of a bunch of candles on each table so I’m trying to figure out the best way to do that. I even entertained the idea of learning how to make my own candles so I could make a bunch of puller and taper candles but the cost was too much. And rather thing is idk if I trust myself w design. My cousin is helping me but if I thrift what if I get serving dishes that don’t look good? So much anxiety with all of this! And what the heck should I rent and what should I buy?? Please give me any opinions you have and what you did/are doing for yours?

I’m in the process of planning the weekend of in terms of bridal party and getting ready. I definitely want to book a nicer hotel the day of for getting ready.

My question is about the night before the wedding. I’m feeling like I would kind of like that time to myself and not do a big bridesmaids sleepover.

My ideal plan would be for me to book the hotel, stay there the night before alone or just with my mom, and then have the girls come the next morning to get ready.

My fiancé is planning on all the groomsmen to be together the night before (which is totally fine for him) but he says that the girls are also supposed to spend the night with each other as well. Is it normal to not spend the night before together?

I’ve got a year till my wedding, but have started thinking about decorations, but what do you do with them afterwards? My style doesn’t really fit a lot of the rental decor I’ve seen and I’m very crafty so I want to make some of them, but we are aiming for 150 people. What do I do with 15 table centerpieces or whatever?

My fiancé is being lame and arguing for no decorations.

Hello, I (future groom) am trying to help as helpful to my fiancé (future wife :)! ) and want to know about things maybe we’re not remembering that we need to since we’re now 50 days to the wedding! Thanks for any help :)

Hello ALL fellow DIYers. I need help with some ideas on decorating the aisle for my wedding ceremony. I have attached screenshots of what the floor looks like. I’ve checked Pinterest and I didn’t see anything similar to this floor with brick combination. Thank you!!

My fiancé and I came across this idea to do giant flowers as part of our wedding decor and honestly, this is feasible and fun to me. I am the one who said she gets overwhelmed very easily thinking about planning our DIY wedding. 😅

Has anyone done something like this for decor?

I've spent the last few months building Daisy Chat, a wedding guest chatbot that answers your guests' questions using info from your wedding website! So instead of bothering you, your guests can text their questions like “What time’s the ceremony?” or “Where can I park?” to your wedding's dedicated hotline, and Daisy Chat will reply with the answer.

I've just spent the last few weeks ironing out a few bugs, and am looking for 3 couples to try out the full app for free (in return, I'd love any feedback)! If you're interested, leave a comment and I'll DM you a promo code for 100% off.

Those of you who had a few week of diy tasks to complete, did you take any extra days off of work leading up to the wedding?

My wedding isn’t until next year and is on a Saturday. But, we are going to be arranging our bridal bouquets with real flowers ourselves. This is something that pretty much has to be done the week leading up to the wedding. I’m sure other last minute things will pop up as well. I already plan on taking at minimum the Friday before off, but am wondering if it would be smart to take a couple more off? My biggest thing is I want to be as low stress as possible. So I don’t want to feel rushed over anything.

Hi all, I'm hoping to see your large scale DIYs that you've done.

I've been seeing a ton of arches, floral arrangements, stationary etc. but I'm talking about photo backdrops, props, etc. - things that you can usually only rent from an event company.

TIA :)

Hello. I want to create a nice backdrop for photos. I have two French doors, the old kind, heavy and with beveled glass, that I can use. the problem is that they need to be safely made to stand on their own. I have not found clear explanations for this. Just photos that give me an idea. I need someone who knows how to do this safely using wood, screws, and tools. I cannot screw or nail anything on the doors as the doors will return to their original location after the wedding. If you can add measurements it will take the guessing work out of the process. Each door is 1.5 inches thick, 79 inches tall, and 30 inches wide. Thanks for any help or ideas =)
