Double Up And Save Money!
By Marla Boyle
Brides are always open for suggestions how to save money while planning their weddings. One great tip at the reception is to use your place cards on your favor so you eliminate the need for both. Some example ideas based on themes would include:
1. Wine Theme: A small bottle of wine for the favor with a beautiful tag attached. On the front of the card is the guests names and on the back is the table number the guests will be sitting at.
2. Beach or Nautical Theme: Sand Dollars, Shells, and Starfish that stand up in a box of sand. Write the guest names on the front with a permanent marker and table number on the back.
3. Garden or Eco-Chic Theme: Use River Rocks in a bed of moss and write the names on the front and table number on the back.
4. Chocolate Theme: Use a number candy mold as the table number and wrap in cello with pretty ribbon and tag. Place the names on the front of the tag.
5. Fall Theme: Small individual glittered pumpkins with natural tags tied with raffia. Place the guest names on the front and table number on the back using a matching glitter pen.
Make sure your wedding planner explains the idea to the guests as they arrive so they understand the concept and are not left wandering around with no where to sit! (Please also note that this idea is great if you do not really have a preference of where your guests will sit once they reach their assigned table).
