Your wedding is your special day so it is important to remember to splurge on the things that are important to you. So prioritize your expenses to figure out where you’re willing to splurge and where you’d rather cut back so that in the end your budget balances out.

A very easy place to cut costs is to consider making your own wedding favors.  With a little creativity and the right

product you will impress your wedding guests by giving favors that reflect you and your fiancés personality and style. Making your own wedding favors can save you money that can then be spent on another aspect of your wedding such as food, flowers or your honeymoon.

The Bride and Groom taking part in designing their wedding favors is becoming more and more popular. A do-it-yourself wedding favor gives you the opportunity to give a party favor that defines the two of you.  By creating your own favors you can complement your individual tastes or interests in a unique way and will personally thank guests for sharing your special day.  With beautiful packaging such as a specialty favor container, some beautiful ribbon and a unique label you’re sure to make a lasting impression.

Once you have decided on the message you want to convey your next step is to
design a favor that will complement your ideas. If your wedding has a special
theme, you can make your favor to fit the theme.  For example a fun Chinese
take out container or a “themed” cellophane bag for your candy buffet.  Another
option is organza bags.  They can be a simple and cost effective way to add
a whimsical or elegant touch to your favor.  There are so many options. Whatever you choose, the fact that it was hand designed by you with your guests in mind will guarantee success. 

The final step is to shop for the components.  Choose your contents and then
head out to get your one of a kind packaging and ribbon.  Search out
innovative and creative ideas.  Come visit Wrapped All Up for your local
Wedding and decorating supply headquarters where you’ll be able to create a
one-of-a-kind favor unlike anybody else’s. Once you have all the pieces, you

Including those who can't make it to your wedding:
Do you have a guest that cannot make the journey to your celebration but you still want to include them in your wedding? I suggest speaking with your selected entertainment company to capture a phone recording of a special greeting, toast or message from your honored loved one that can be played back at your wedding. Friends who are in the military overseas, family who

cannot make the journey due to illness and more can be included in your wedding celebration! It is a simple and fun approach to include honored guests, surprise loved ones and personalize your wedding.

When deciding on the wedding budget I urge everyone to consider the cost to the bridesmaids. This is something that seems to be overlooked or considered only as a dress expense. In actuality, it is much more than the dress and is quite a substantial amount of money. It is the constant chatter among friends this time of year and it is so sad to me that this is the talk-the money, not the couple. However, I think the solution is to consider a budget for the bridesmaids. Plan ahead what you think this amount should be. Total it up just like any other wedding expense and factor some if not all into the wedding budget.
