A few weeks ago this pretty great book, The DIY Bride Crafty Countdown by Khris Cochran (The Taunton Press, 2009), found it’s way onto my desk. It’s filled with all these super-easy DIY projects that will save you money and make your wedding an event to remember.

What’s so great about this book, other than the fantastic ideas, is that it’s organized in a way that keeps you on track with your wedding timeline. There’s a checklist and a project-planning sheet to help keep you organized, and the projects are broken down according to how far in advance you should complete each one. For example, engagement invites, save-the-dates and thank-yous should be done 12 to 9 months before the wedding while your simple DIY bouquet can be put together a mere six hours before the big event. Yes, she makes it that easy!

Just flipping through the book and looking at all the pictures made me want to try putting together some of these fun projects. I especially loved the Pencil Me in Calendar, S’mores Save-the-Date Kit, Destination Wedding Map Guide, Memory Lane Table Marker and Cupcake in a Jar Favor. For all you crafty brides out there, this is definitely a book worth picking up!
