Try to get everything done a few days before the actual wedding. Ok, admittedly this is much easier said than done, but try to schedule all your do-it-yourself projects to finish up well in advance of your big day. That way you won't be up the night before tying ribbons and folding programs when you should be sleeping.
My sister got married on a Sunday and the Wednesday before my parents and I showed up at her apartment and helped her finish all the crafty projects, including her favors of Jelly Beans in little bags.
The Seville, my sister's reception venue, requires brides to bring in all their supplies several days in advance so on Thursday we dropped off toasting flutes, place cards, menus & menu holders, cake knife, fake rose petals, and favors. The Seville was super organized and while my sister talked to the manager, I went over the placement of everything with the guy who sets up the room on the day of the wedding.
It was wonderful, then, to get all the wedding clutter and day-of projects out of my sister's house for the rest of the week. I think we were all a little more relaxed knowing there was nothing left to do for the big day!
