But, I wouldn't bake it!<br /> I'll probably order pre-made party favors?<br /> I'll probably buy bottled drinks...<br /> I would more than likely cater the food, if we did a dinner. I'd buy party trays if we just did finger foods.<br /> So, I would plan it but I wouldn't do much beside order, pick-up, and pay.<br /> I would be the decor but I'd try to buy things pre-made. I can't ever in a million years see myself trying to make decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797470 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:15:26 +0000 loveisstrange 797470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My answer to pretty much everything is that I would rather DIY.</p> <p>I LOVE party planning.

Still, we threw a birthday party last weekend and did the whole thing ourselves (with help from @honeybee!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797229 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:05:26 +0000 runsyellowlites 797229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOOOVE party planning so I DIY almost everything! For parties outside the kiddos I do usually buy the cake though (I'll make cupcakes myself). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797211 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:56:46 +0000 Mrsbells 797211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love event planning.

I don't enjoy cooking for so many people so I would rather buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797195 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:51:18 +0000 rachiecakes 797195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A party? Nope.<br /> I'd love to but working 40+ hours, my week is limited as it is. I'd rather pay someone to do it/clean it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797192 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:49:38 +0000 chopsuey 797192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on what it is.. Decorations, DIY. Cake and food, pay someone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797186 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:46:56 +0000 Boheme 797186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! I do a mix of things... If something would cost me too much or frustrate me too much to do, I outsource it. For example, when I've thrown baby showers I *never* make the cake. I DIY the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797179 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:42:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 797179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove DIY projects!! I would much rather do stuff myself instead of pay! Except for my situation right now! I'm in my friends wedding this Friday, and I have yet to hem my dress! oops! So I'm calling around different tailors today to see if anyone can do it for me! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797175 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:41:28 +0000 mediagirl 797175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love party planning but I would prefer to do it than to pay someone to do it. It is so expensive to pay someone else to do it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797171 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:39:53 +0000 mrsjazz 797171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! I love love love party planning, too, but I know that some things are just beyond my DIY skills so I do a mix of making a lot of items and purchasing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797149 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:27:30 +0000 Turd Ferguson 797149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It totally depends on what it is. A party, hell yeah, I'll do that myself. Other projects...it depends. </p> <p>We were recently talking about making a headboard, but after looking at the cost of materials, time it would take, frustrations that would for sure come out of it, it's just not worth it to me to save an extra couple bucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797120 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:04:31 +0000 regberadaisy 797120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I LOVE party planning too! I like seeing the end result and being able to say we did that. And not just I paid someone to do it. And I'm too cheap to pay someone! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-diy-or-pay-someone-to-do-it#post-797113 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:02:27 +0000 heffalump 797113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of friends who don't want to do any party planning themselves. They'd rather just pay someone so they don't have to think about it.</p> <p>I LOVE party planning and do pretty much everything myself. I make all of the decorations, invitations, favors, food, etc. I save so much money this way, plus I love to do it. </p>
