How to make a Cheap Wedding Gift

Some people have the money to buy the happy couple a set of gorgeous china at their wedding, but most people are looking for a nice and classy, but cheap wedding gift. It's actually very simple to make a cheap wedding gift, so if you want to save money and offer a lovely wedding gift at the same time, read on!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Small white basket
• Tulle circle about twice the size of the basket
• Small tulle-wrapped bag of rice
• White satin ribbon

1. One cheap wedding gift that will mean a lot to the happy couple is a memory basket. This gift will only work if you know the couple well. Include items like a cd with songs that played the night they met and a nicely framed picture of the two of them together. Hand-write a nice card, letting them know how happy you are for them, and how grateful you are to share their special day.

2. A cheap wedding gift that is sure to thrill the happy couple is a video recording of pre-wedding moments. Shopping for a wedding dress, scoping out wedding locations, and even the reception dinner and bridal shower are all great clips to add. Having a couple of other friends of the couple re-enact the proposal will add a dash of humor to this cheap wedding gift.

3. Another cheap wedding gift can be put together on the spot, at the wedding. Take a small basket, some tulle, a small bag of rice, and a card with details about the wedding. At the wedding, put one wedding favor, a flower or two, and any other small items that qualify as memories, into the basket. Place the basket on a large circle of tulle, and gather at the top of the basket. Tie with some white ribbon, and you're done!

Tips & Warnings

• Buy your supplies for making a cheap wedding gift at a crafting store, not a wedding store, to save even more money.
