Why DIY Parties Actually Cost More Than You Think
We often hear parents say, "I’ll just make the decorations myself to save money."
We totally get it. Parenting is expensive. But have you ever done the actual math on DIY? Let’s break down the hidden costs of the "cheaper" route.
The "Supplies" Receipt
To make a high-quality custom banner and toppers, you need:
- High-quality cardstock: $15
- Printer ink (the expensive kind): $40
- Ribbon/String: $5
- Sticks/Glue: $10
- Total Hard Cost: ~$70
The "Time" Tax
This is the big one.
- Searching for templates: 1 hour.
- Printing and troubleshooting the jam: 1 hour.
- Cutting out 50 individual shapes by hand: 3 hours.
- Assembling/Gluing: 2 hours.
- Total Time: ~7 Hours.
What is your free time worth? If you value your free time at even $15/hour, that DIY project just cost you another $105.
The Festi Equation
Compare that to ordering a Lite Kit or Classic Kit.
- Cost: Comparable to just the supplies you’d buy at a craft store.
- Time Spent: 5 minutes to order.
- Result: Professionally printed, die-cut, and consistent quality.
When you buy Festi, you aren't just buying paper. You’re buying back your Saturday afternoon. You’re buying the ability to relax before the party starts.
And, to be honest, the Festi kit will turn out STUNNING. Are you sure can get there yourself?
