5 DIY project tips to adding your own unique touch to your event:
Hand embellish invitation envelopes. With printing making the process of addressing envelopes and invitation companies allowing for easy invite creation, there is very little we still put our hands on when it comes to sending an invite. However, we’re trying to personally ask someone to really show up to our event. Adding a hand placed stamp or a sticker can add a personal touch showing you were part of the process.
Create your own center pieces. Whether you are hosting a wedding reciption, a corporate event or a child’s birthday, the center piece on the table is a central piece of decor for your theme. Create your own center piece to add in your own unique flare to the event. You’ll appreciate the effort you put in and so will your guests.
Create favors with your own flare. Party favors are tiny gifts for your guests thanking them for coming to your event. Create your own party favors add that extra bit of “I appreciate your coming”. You don’t have to create anything extraordinary nor elaborate, just something meaningful that fits your party theme.
Add a little extra bling. If you plan on giving guest gifts such as bridal party gifts or employee thank you gifts, consider customizing with your own original ideas. Hand write notes or gift tags. Personalize with names, dates or locations. Whatever you can think of to remember the day and make it your own.
Keep it simple. No matter what you choose to do, don’t go crazy over the top with your creativity. Keep it simple and easy to manage, otherwise you may find yourself wishing you didn’t get involved at all. Choosing the color scheme and finding items to include rather than painting an entire motif, for example. Just make sure you don’t over estimate your available time.
No matter what you create or how you creat it, your event will have something unique to remember because you had a hand in creating it. Happy Planning!
