Place Card Holders

March 5, 2010 | Adorable Affordable Finds, Author: Leslie

I came across this snowflake place card holder at www.favorfavor.com. They’re great for winter themed weddings.

They’re priced at $0.99 each, with a minimum order of 30 pieces. Each order contains different snowflake designs with rhinestone accents and stand at 5”.  Blank place cards also with a winter theme design are included in the order. If you don’t want to use the place cards, you can substitute them with the guests’ pictures instead, with their names and table number at the back. It will be quite fun to watch your guests looking to find their places at the reception. It can actually be a conversation starter around the table. These snowflake card holders can also double up as your wedding favors as well. They’re quite practical and can work as picture or notes holder on a table or desk in the house after the celebration. Now that’s great value for your money.

As any bride would, I assume you have given plenty of thought on your wedding gown, your wedding shoes, and about every other detail about your wedding day. But have you given thought about the flower basket your flower girl will carry as she walks down the aisle with you?

The flower basket on the right sells for only$6 at Creative Bride Ideas. However, if you would like to save on the cost of the item as well as shipping costs, you can use the image to the right as an inspiration and dress up an existing basket you might have with satin, ribbons, and other decorations.

Affordable Save the Date Suggestions

November 27, 2009 | Adorable Affordable Finds, Author: Leslie, Low Cost Ideas

Giving your wedding guests a Save the Date card is very important. Even though you will give them a wedding invitation, it is best to give them something they’ll see regularly even after they’ve put the wedding invitation aside. I know I’m one of those who usually forgets about stuff I don’t see. :)

I came across a site called 123 Print where they sell small Save the Date magnets for only $12.95 for 20 pieces. These small magnets measure 3 1/2 x 2 inches. If you find that too small for your liking, you can opt for large magnets which measure 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches for the same price but only for 10 pieces.

The site allows its customers to put in pictures for the magnets at no extra charge. Customers can also choose the color and design of the cards, too!

Here’s another tip: If you’re on a really tight budget, just print the Save the Date cards yourself! All you’ll need are pictures of you and your fiance, a good quality photo printing paper, and designs you can easily find online. Get creative and design your own!
