Things You'll Need:
- Budget
- Creative Thinking
-
Step 1
Cut out the Trinkets as Favors- The majority of wedding reception favors are left behind once the night is over. Why? Well, who really needs one silver 3×5 frame or one heart shaped place card holder? For your favors, consider an adorable edible gift (though avoid the tulle bag of Jordan almonds). Give your guests an edible favor and I bet that not too many will be left behind. Bonus- edible favors typically costs less which will allow you to increase your budget on more important things...like flowers!

Step 2
Skip the Personalized Embossed Cocktail Napkins- You see these at so many wedding. Why? Perhaps every bride wants to see her name in embossed in gold. A better (and more modern idea) is to save the $150 and put it towards something else (flowers would be a good place). The solid, standard cocktail napkins will do just fine.

Step 3
Avoid ordering 200 Ceremony Programs- If ceremony programs are important to you, go ahead and have them. Just please; don’t order one for each guest. Order one for every couple (or just divide guest list by 2). Not every guest will even read your program and after your 20 minute ceremony, the ground will most likely be scattered with tossed programs anyway. One tip: To avoid “running out” of programs, have your ushers or site staff place one program on every other ceremony chair rather than handing them out as guests arrive.
