There are a lot of brides who are into doing things themselves, especially when it comes to wedding details as this allows them to save a lot of money. But for those who are not-so-crafty, don’t despair as there is a solution!

Weddings surprisingly call for a lot of bows, and a site called Oriental Trading sells stick on bows for just $2.99 for 24 pieces! Feel free to stick these bows that come with an adhesive tape to your wedding favors or as part of your reception decoration! And for $2.99 for 24 pieces, it doesn’t sound too bad.

Affordable Save the Date Suggestions

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!
