What I wouldn't do DIY again for my wedding

We did many DIY projects for our wedding, and tried very hard to get as many as possible done ourselves. However there were a few that were more time intensive and not work the money saved in the end. Here are the top 2 I would have done by someone else.

1. Table cloths. We purchased our 120" round white table cloths off of Amazon and through Craigslist. We paid a total of over $100 for everything needed, and in the end we hope to see $40 dollars. First, you have to haul them everywhere and they are heavy! Second, they are not always pressed (at least if you rent them, they are somewhat pressed). Third, washing them is worse than you think. I have spent hours washing ours and not everything comes out (even with bleach).
In the end, this is something I would have rented from our table company instead of purchasing and then trying to resell. Things we rented (Round Tables, Napkins, Bar).

2. Flowers, this  is something VERY time sensitive (if you are doing fresh), and you just don't have the time. We did a test run before the wedding, and ended up getting a florist. Couldn't have been more excited for that decision! I just went and picked everything up, and it cost us around $350 for everything. So I mean, it wasn't cheap, but everything was done for us! One less thing to worry about the day of.

3. A DJ, we were going to have our own Ipod as a DJ. If you really wanted the dancing experience, please hire someone. We started to compile music and were wondering, how much more time and money it was going to take to do it, and in the end it was just not worth it to us.Who else is going to have a microphone for your ceremony, and who else is going to announce you with that same microphone when you enter the reception. In the end we had a blast and he was inexpensive! Or get a friend to do it.
