DIY Weddings 'Growing Trend'

When it comes to weddings, the average cost of one can be staggering.

According to Brides magazine's 2011 study the average wedding cost hovers around £17,069.

Also in the same range, The Knot reports that the average wedding costs about £17,906. Either way, it's a tough number to reach for many couples. To combat rising wedding costs, many couples are steering away from some of the more traditional wedding essentials and instead, making them themselves using do-it-yourself guidebooks, recipes, and kits.

Some of the most popular items couples are DIY-ing are paper goods, as they are essential to a wedding but often eat up a fair amount of budget. Invitations, save the dates, programs, program fans, and decorations are all easy to create at home when one has the right materials, such as a printer or different coloured craft paper.
