Planning a wedding on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing style and elegance. With a little creativity and some DIY magic, you can add personal touches to your special day without breaking the bank. Here are some affordable wedding DIY ideas to consider:

• Invitations and Stationery: Design and print your own wedding invitations and stationery using free /paid online templates (Etsy and Canvas are really good). You can also handwrite invitations for a personal touch. Consider making your own RSVP cards, place cards, and table numbers using simple materials like cardstock and calligraphy pens.

• Decorations: Create stunning decorations using inexpensive materials. For centerpieces, consider arranging flowers from a local market in thrifted or repurposed vases. Decorate with candles, fairy lights, and mason jars for a cozy ambiance. Craft paper garlands, origami, or fabric bunting for unique and cost-effective décor.

• Wedding Favors: Handmade wedding favors can be thoughtful and budget-friendly. Consider making small jars of homemade jam, infused oils, personalised cookies or spice blends. You could also create personalized thank-you notes or bookmarks for your guests.

• Wedding Signage: Design and create your own wedding signs using chalkboards, wooden boards, mirrors or acrylic sheets. Use calligraphy or stencils to add a professional touch.
