What's your nursery theme and mural going to be? I wanted to do a mural, but didn't want to deal with the paint smell while preggo, so I just went with a decal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-60955 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:33:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 60955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love DIY projects! Loved them for my wedding and can't wait to party plan for LO. My mom is an artist, so we'll definitely be collaborating on DIY projects. Already thinking of a mural for the nursery - we'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-60951 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:29:32 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 60951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it. My Mom loves it. Nana's going to be in charge of that. ;) Haha. I have good ideas, but I just hate little tedious projects. I hated wedding planning too though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-60949 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:25:26 +0000 sunshine44 60949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to diy, but I'm not creative enough to come up with good ideas! Once I get started though I'll go all out!<br /> @rubies: I know a few people who do great cakes if you need some contacts! Even one of our girlfriends from school does them now too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59944 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:02:49 +0000 chopsuey 59944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like DIY-ing, but I'm doing everything myself for LO's 1st! So far so good! I've started 2 months in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59839 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:59:58 +0000 Boogs 59839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to. My sister and I have been trying to DIY more and more with each party we throw. I love how it personalizes everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59831 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:57:24 +0000 Rubies 59831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: My due date with LO was July 29th but I gave birth on August 1st. Twins enough, right? We're going to be catering food and I'm special-ordering her cake. I was thinking of hydrangeas everywhere...That's about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59815 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:51:12 +0000 heffalump 59815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: lavender will be pretty! Are you making food for all those people too or just cake? Her birthday is July 22nd,I believe a week before your lo's. I think they are twins, they both started off life pretty grumpy, had a few good weeks ... and then started teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59786 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:39:00 +0000 Rubies 59786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I was going to go with a tea party theme but we decided to have the party at our home (instead of a venue) and it's hard to theme up the house. So I thought of a colour scheme of lavender...? I don't know, I'm getting stressed out :( BTW, when is your LO's birthday? Maybe our LO's are long lost twins, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59775 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:34:30 +0000 heffalump 59775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: did you pick a theme yet? Maybe we can help you come up with some easy DIY projects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59767 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:32:25 +0000 Rubies 59767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a LOT of DIYs for the baby shower I threw for my friend. I tend to stay away because I'm not good at it. But for LO's 1st birthday, I plan on DIY a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-diy-for-parties#post-59753 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:26:44 +0000 heffalump 59753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a huge DIY fan. I threw my hubby's Chick-Fil-A themed birthday party for very cheap since I made pretty much everything (except the sandwiches and fries... nobody can make them as good as Chick-Fil-A) myself. I printed lots of Chick-Fil-A cows from the computer to make bunting, along with my hubby's name in cow print letters. I framed pictures of cows and my LO in her "I love chick fil a" onesie and put them on the mantle. I had so much fun with it!</p> <p>I still have 6 months until my LO turns 1, but I'm already starting the DIY for her party. It's a garden party so I'll be making lots of flowers... and it takes a lot longer to get these things done now that she's here taking up all my time. One day she'll be able to help me!</p> <p>Do you DIY? </p>
