Thrifty DIY Wedding, Part One: |
Brainstorming
I asked five of my closest friends to be my bridesmaids, and my sister to be my Maid of Honor =Total of seven people making this wedding happen.
The majority of the brainstorming happened online via Pinterest. I created a secret board on my account and invited them to be able to pin on there as well. I knew I wanted to have the theme to be inspired by the Disney Pixar movie, UP, because I loved the fun, vintage feel of the film. I didn't have an exact plan for what I wanted so the brainstorming with the girls really helped me out.

Delegating
My sister and I are big on organization. However, I am super scatter-brained when it comes to my own personal projects (let's just chalk it up to the artist in me). Thanks goodness for my sister! She offered to keep everything organized for me, which helped out my stress levels tremendously!
I decided to delegate the important stuff to each person:
Food and Snacks
Beverages
Gifts Table and Wedding Favors
Table Settings and Décor
Invitations, RSVP list, Thank You Cards
Entertainment and Games

I gave everyone deadlines for the items on their list. Shopping is incredibly time-consuming, which is why delegating was the best decision that could have been made for the wedding planning. I trusted each one of the girls to look for affordable items that matched the theme of the event. All I asked was that they kept the receipts so that I could pay them back.
Execution
Each of us needed to make sure our checklist was packed and ready in our cars on our way to the event. We were all responsible for our own lists for the set-up and clean-up. If any of us were finished early, we would help the others finish up.
It turned out to be a fantastic day with our closest family and friends and I can't wait to share it all! Stay tuned for all the details of a very Cozy Reverie DIY Wedding!
