Signs You should give Up Your Toronto Wedding DIY Project

Tuesday August 18, 2020

When is it time to call in a Toronto wedding decor service company?

All of us want to believe that we are a Martha Stewart DIY project goddess who can turn paper into gold. We’ve all done it – get ourselves too deep into a project, and now you have to finish it even though it’s not going to look anything like you imagined and cost far more than you expected. With the Cost of a Toronto wedding, it’s easy to see why people try DIY wedding projects to save some money. Here are some points at which you should turn around, and ditch your DIY and hire a Toronto professional wedding decoration service.

When the wedding DIY project costs more to do than buying it

When you start a DIY project, you generally have an idea about how much it’s going to cost with the supplies you need to buy etc. Mistakes get made, then more supplies are purchased, and suddenly, the cost goes up. If the price is getting too high, and it’s still not done yet; it’s time to let it go.

If the supplies for the wedding DIY project cost more than just buying the item

For DIY wedding decor, you usually have to make multiple, which is why a lot of DIY projects are more cost-effective. It’s only accurate if you have the materials and tools already. Too many people buy tools that cost more than just purchasing the project because they think they will reuse the tools and then don’t. While it’s great to know that if you ever need it, you’ll have a heat gun. However, you’ll probably never use it again. 


When it starts taking over your life

Suppose you are losing sleep over this project or are dedicating a lot of time to it. It is not worth it.  Too often, people think that because they are not paying someone to do the project, it’s free when it costs them time. This approach to the DIY project doesn’t value your time. If your boss asked you to do the project for free, you’d say no. Same with this project, if it’s taking too much of your time, it’s not worth it. 

If you are dreading your Toronto wedding DIY project

It doesn’t make sense to spend time working on something you are dreading to do. DIYs should be fun and rewarding. It’s a good feeling when you start to see your project taking shape. It shouldn’t be frustrating; there could be moments of frustration but overall enjoy the DIY projects. Toronto DIY wedding projects are a lot to handle since usually you have to make more than one of whatever you are making. Make sure before you start the project that you are the type of person who can stick to it.

When should a DIY project be left to the Toronto professionals?

Too many times have people attempted a DIY that should be left to a professional. A good rule of thumb is anything with electricity or plumbing. Not that these are impossible tasks with the invention of youtube; anything is possible, but there’s a reason it takes a few years of training and education to be a professional. No one wants a light-up centrepiece that could potentially catch fire. Or a fountain that breaks and suddenly it’s raining indoors. If you want statement lights at your wedding, consider renting marquees lighting. Big letter rentals in Toronto are on the rise of popularity due to flexibility in being able to spell anything from words like love to names.

Anything that requires you to weld and you aren’t a professional welder just leave it alone. There are many reasons you shouldn’t buy welding gear and then start a DIY, but safety is the primary concern. This rule also applies to any DIY project that says blowtorch. The last thing you need is trying to grow back your eyebrows before the wedding.  

   

Why are you doing this DIY project

 Think about why you are doing it. If it’s something you want, then go for it. If you think it’s something someone else wants, maybe think about it and the investment you’ll have to make. If you are doing it to impress family, it might not be worth it. Toronto DIY wedding project materials are expensive. Making sure that this is something you truly want at your wedding is important.

When should you DIY a Toronto wedding project

We’ve talked a lot about when to give up on a project, but there are times when you should keep going.  

  • If you are enjoying doing it, taking the time to do the things you enjoy is a blessing and the fact that you get to save money on the wedding decor and enjoy it is fantastic. 
  • If it’s not hard but tedious and it’s saving you a ton of money. If it’s saving a notable amount of money. Do it, put on some tv in the background and hammer it out.
  • If you have the time. You probably aren’t going to make 50 hands made decorations the day before your wedding, but you can probably get that done a few months in advance

All in all, your projects should be manageable and doable. Always make sure to give yourself enough time to get the project done before starting a new one. Remember that sometimes just because it looks easy, doesn’t mean that it is.
