So I’m one of those people who generally thinks, “If I want it done right, I better do it myself”. Unfortunately, I’m also that person who ends up with a crap-ton of stuff on her plate and very little time to accomplish it all. That said, I know there will probably be a lot of diy features to this 12k wedding so I may have to start asking for help ::gasp::.

Now, I know who’s crafty and who has a keen eye for detail and I’m pretty sure these are the people I’d ask for help. Aunt so-and-so who’s extra clumsy and a little willy-nilly – not so much. The big issue is that I don’t want someone to “help” me by putting a lot of time and effort into a project and then me not liking the final project. So I think I’ll attack it like this: start keeping a list of diy projects I think I might like to do. Then, determine which ones I can feasibly accomplish on my own. Then ask for help one project at a time from one person at a time.

That way either we can do the project together, getting it done in half the time or at least I can “guide” my helper along to begin with. All I know is, as much I’d like to convince myself that I can, I probably won’t be able to accomplish all my projects on my own.

What do you think? Are you getting a lot of helpful help? Or is the help you’re getting more trouble than it’s worth?
