Planning Your Wedding on a Shoestring Budget - Wedding Favors

2010-09-09T20:57:00.000-04:00

WEDDING FAVORS

Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you for attending your special day. These favors can be elegant, fun, or practical. We prefer the practical. Here are some great suggestions for fun and unique wedding favors.

Fudge makes delicious cheap wedding favors. Wrapped up in white tulle and tied with a white ribbon it would be beautiful. Add a tag; you make yourself, with a little message like "Love is divine". Cut out the tag with scallop scissors and punch a hole for the ribbon.
Regular candles are nice too for cheap wedding favors. Wrap in tulle and tie with ribbon. Stick a small flower in the ribbon.

Tree seedlings, such as citrus or any kind of tree, are something most people would love. They will always remember your wedding with this unique wedding favor idea. Wrap the plastic pot to disguise.

Flower seedlings or seed packets are a nice wedding favors. Wrap in anyway that is appropriate for your wedding. Tie with ribbon, raffia or paper ribbon.

Sachets made from lavender. Make a small bag from lace. Sew up three sides, put the lavender in and sew up fourth side. Attach a small silk flower. Potpourris in drawstring bags made of lace or tulle are pretty. They smell nice too. You can use any kind of bag that's easy for you to make.

Everybody loves herbs. Buy small ones and place plastic container right into a small terracotta pot. Put some moss around the top to disguise the plastic planter. Include a pretty tag with instructions for care and attach to a ribbon tied around the pot.

A strawberry plant is another live wedding favor idea. It can be presented in the same way as an herb. Anything of this nature that is in season is appreciated.

Candies, such as M&Ms in your wedding colors, Kisses or Hugs, mints, a wonderful piece of chocolate or any kind that you would like, look great in a cupcake liner. They come in different sizes and colors.

· For an outdoor wedding, consider buying umbrellas at the dollar store. Wrap them in ribbons with your colors. This, of course, is for a smaller wedding only, but can be a great gift to help shield guests from inclement weather or the sun.

· Buy plain chocolate bars in bulk or get the miniature version. Print out new labels on your computer that you personalize for yourself and wrap them around the bars.

· Make your own CD using your favorite songs. Include the First Dance song, the cake-cutting song and all the traditional songs. Make CD covers with your picture on it and gave all your guests a copy of the CD. You can also make general mix CD’s with all of your favorite songs on it – not just the wedding ones!

· For a Christmas wedding, give each guest a Christmas ornament. Take a plain ball type ornament and use a paint pen to personalize with your name and the date of your wedding

· Do you and your intended share a love of something unique? Are you big NASCAR fans? Love to golf? Rabid about a sports team? Gear your favors around these unique characteristics that are you.

Also, unless you have your heart set on taking home your table decorations, consider giving them away to guests. A fun way to do this is to take a hint from most class reunions. Give one to the guests that traveled the farthest, the ones who have married the longest, married the shortest, etc. This helps bring people into your reception and make them feel like a bigger part of your special day! Discount wedding favors will also help stretch your budget.

Perhaps the largest expense of your reception is food. Our next post will look at some viable options for feeding you and your guests without having to mortgage your house.

Make Your Own Jewelry

2010-08-19T02:18:00.000-04:00

Making your own jewelry can be a very passionate hobby. All you need is the right tools and supplies to get started.

Your first and best investment for making jewelry will be a jewelry kit. This kit will help you to make some marvelous pieces and give you plenty of confidence. Kits will include the tools you need to get started, like a needle-nosed pliers and clasps. Find out more in this handy book.

You’ll also need chains for necklaces and bracelets, backings for earrings, posts to create anything that dangles, and supplies to link it all together. Watch for sales at your local craft stores for sales as these supplies can be very expensive.

Next you will need beads. Beads are made from a variety of things, such as metal, glass, clay, plastic, and even wood. You can make your own beads too, if you enjoy working with polymer clay. When shopping for beads, look for a variety of sizes, shapes and colors so that you can make a number of different designs with your jewelry.

Next you will need a magnifier to help you see. A magnifier headset is your best investment. Using a magnifying glass is doable but not practical as you will need both hands to work on your jewelry. Another option is a standing magnifier. Having the correct magnifying tools will help to keep you focused.

Last but not least, you will want to have a flat and level surface so that you can keep the beads from rolling around. Be prepared with this step by step guide.

Planning Your Wedding on a Shoestring Budget - The Reception Hall

2010-08-19T01:44:00.002-04:00

Your wedding reception is where your guests will spend the most time. As we’ve said before, you should count on spending at least 40 percent of your budget on the reception. This includes the food, decorations, drinks, music, etc. But a beautiful reception doesn’t have to break the bank. Once again, count on your friends and family to help out. People love to share in important moments and you may be surprised by how many people will be willing to help you decorate the hall the night before.

Let’s first talk about the flowers and table decorations.

If you’re having your reception in a hall like the American Legion or the Moose, be prepared to deal with the décor that is already there. As an example, at the American Legion you may find a multitude of war memorabilia on the walls. You’ll want to deal with this with a great deal of respect and imagination. One of the best ways is to draw attention to another area of the hall or keep it focused on the tables and wedding party area.

This is a good time to think about the location of a gazebo or arch. Locate it in an area away from the permanent memorabilia and you’ll find it to be a great distraction. You can drape Christmas type lights on it and decorate with flowers, locate the wedding gift table there, the wedding cake, etc. Use your imagination.

So what about other decorative ideas at the reception?

Use the bridesmaid’s bouquets to decorate the tables, the head table, or the cake table. You don’t have to have expensive floral arrangements everywhere to make a beautiful reception hall. There are many, many alternatives and most can be put together with supplies from the dollar store. The following suggestions utilize supplies that can be found at the dollar store or other discount stores and make for gorgeous table decorations.

Centerpiece suggestion #1:

Buy some glass cereal bowls and place colored glass marbles in the bottom. Add water half way up and put a floating candle in each. Instead of floating candles, just add a regular votive in the middle of the marbles. When the reception is over, the bride and groom will have a matching set of bowls!

Centerpiece suggestion #2:

Get some small terracotta pots and some florists foam. Pick out some silk flowers in your wedding colors along with some greenery. Stick the flowers in the foam bunched tightly together and arrange to your heart’s delight!

Centerpiece suggestion #3:

Take a silk rose and separate the bud from the stem. Disassemble the bud into individual petals. With a clear votive holder and a glue gun, you will glue the petals onto the holder. Start at the top with the smaller rose petals. Place one petal next to another, with the sides touching slightly.

Once your first row is completed, you can start on the next. Make sure to cover any bare areas at the bottom of the first row, and work your way down the holder until the rose petals cover the entire surface. Take the leaf from the flower and attach to the bottom of the holder. This will give the illusion of a lighted rose once a candle is placed inside and lit!

Centerpiece suggestion #4:

Find picture frames of varying sizes. Gather together your favorite pictures of the bride and groom. Put the pictures in the frames and arrange on the tables surrounding them by clear glass marbles and some greenery.

Centerpiece suggestion #5:

Get some small baskets and decorate with ribbon. Print out some index cards that say “Advice For The Newlyweds” and lay them on the table with pens and/or pencils. Encourage guests to write something on the cards and place them in the baskets. Surround the baskets with flowers, greenery or pebbles. This can be a great ice-breaker for people who don’t know each other. Be prepared, too, for the jokesters in the crowd who may offer up some ridiculous and sometimes bawdy advice.

Centerpiece suggestion #6:

Take small grapevine wreaths and decorate with tulle and ribbon. Place a bottle of champagne in the center or a bottle of wine from a local winery. For extra fun, attach a balloon to the bottle.

Centerpiece suggestion #7:

Take two plastic champagne glasses and hot glue them together so that they cross when lying down. Hot glue four clear glass marbles inside each glass and tie a helium balloon to each. It will look like there are bubbles flowing out of your glasses as they lay on the table!

Balloons are not only festive and fun, they can help keep bored children entertained. Most dollar stores have helium balloons they will fill with purchase. However, you may want to look into a portable helium tank and do it yourself. Most party stores have tanks you can rent or buy and sell helium balloons in a multitude of colors to go with your other décor.

Want some wacky and unique centerpiece ideas? We found a couple online for the inventive and fun couples!

Buy glass fish bowls at the dollar store and fill them with – fish! You can find goldfish pretty inexpensively either at Wal-Mart or a local pet store. If you have the money, try to find beta fish in your wedding colors! One word of caution if using live fish: be sure to give their water lots of surface area to provide enough oxygen. The last thing you want is a bunch of dead fish decorating your tables. Let the children in attendance take the fish home – with the permission of their parents, of course.

Here’s another idea. Collect a bunch of board games, Ants in the Pants, Monopoly, Sorry, etc. Arrange them on the tables with decorative accents surrounding them. This can be great for the children in attendance, but don’t be surprised if the adults play with them too.

Another bride wanted to reflect the personalities of her and her groom. They were “country people”, she says and liked a cold beer on occasion. She took longneck beer bottles and steamed the labels off of them. She created their own beer labels on her computer and glued them on with a hot glue gun. She splatter painted them before attaching the labels and tied each with a piece of twine. Truly unique, we think!

We like the idea of taking a pint sized Mason jar and wrapping it with tissue paper tying a ribbon around the neck to secure it. Place flowers in the jar, potpourri or whatever you think fits you as a couple.

If you’re getting married around a holiday, you can come across some fun decorations that celebrate that holiday. At Christmas, spray paint pine cones silver and gold and surround them with pine sprigs. Having an Easter wedding? Use plastic Easter eggs and plastic grass you put in the Easter baskets.

If you’re having an outdoor reception, decorate around that. Use lots of live flowers and greenery to reflect the beauty of Mother Nature surrounding you. If it’s windy, avoid using candles and be sure any balloons are secured so they don’t blow away!

Now that you’ve got the place decorated, look for our next post about using favors as additional decorations.
