getting Married

Not entirely sure what you mean by cute ideas. But by doing invitations, order of service, thank you notes yourself then it cuts down on expense. also if you do a buffet yourself, instead of a formal sit down meal, then that reduces cost. try to get your church involved, maybe with the buffet, then they will feel involved with your weding. i hope this helps.

Congratulations!
Maybe you'll find some great ideas on some of these pages

Good luck, and have a wonderfull weddingday!

Hi ! When are you getting married? If it is near graduation time - you can watch the jewlry store ads in the paper - the little ads that are in by themselves in a box, etc. not ads in a flyer necessarily - anyway you will see a lot of sterling silver trinkets/boxes, jewlry, etc. on great sale prices at that time of year. They make good gifts.

Also, for a reception idea: I went to one that had tables for everyone to sit around - nothing formal, just a place to sit & visit. At each seat she had this really cute/cheap "gift" for each seat : she took a Hershey Hugs & a Hershey Kiss & on a small (6 x 3 inch strip of paper fold in half long way & use a hole puncher to put a hole in the upper corner) use the cheap ribbon in your wedding color (pink or black or both!) tie the ribbon through the hole into a small bow. On each card have typed this little note: Hugs & Kisses from the Mr. & Mrs. Place one Hershey Hug & one Hershey Kiss on top of each card & place it at each seat. You could add to the note underneath the greeting if you wanted to say something like - We are so happy you could be with us today!

When my cousin got married, she had all the bridesmaids over (including myself) to help make the little favors for the guests at the bridal shower. It was a fun time, and I'm sure it helped with the costs. You could also make the little favors for the wedding too. Hope that helps.
