You can save money on your wedding with good planning and creative ideas. For instance, you can spend a fortune on table decorations and wedding favors. Why spend a lot when you can creatively make unique wedding favors that will dress up your dinner tables?

You can easily make bath salt packs for each guest to take home as a wedding favor. You can buy all of the items to make the wedding favors online or at a discount store. Choose the color of bath salts that match your wedding and buy in a large quantity to save money. You will also want to purchase mesh and ribbon that will look nice with your chosen color of bath salts. Cut the mesh 5 inches by 5 inches. Fill the mesh with bath salts and tie with a ribbon. Add some candles in the center of the table for ambiance during dinner and while dancing. You now have pretty table decorations and a wedding favor for each guest specially made by you.

Another way to save money on your wedding is to make your own wedding invitations. Use your computer and print out unique wedding cards. You can use pictures of the two of you. A cute idea would be to put both of your pictures as children on the cover. Scan the photos and you may want to make the photos in black and white. In a creative program such as PhotoShop draw a heart on each child’s picture. Make each heart red. The contrast of the black and white photos of the children each with a red heart will be endearing to all who receive your wedding invitation. Choose your favorite font and wedding color when printing out the invitation information.

Purchase envelopes online or at a discount store. If you have set your wedding date for the future, be sure to buy Forever stamps now in case of stamp price increase later.
