Favors for the Bride and Groom

A current trend in weddings is the growing desire for party favors.  One of the best ways to make your celebration more unique is to have something that the guests can offer to you -beyond the gift registry…

We first used this idea in my wedding and it's starting to become somewhat of a tradition in my family. 

We went to an office supply store and bought a pack of blank(both sides) index cards. At home we typed up the wording and set the page size according to the size of the index cards. Once we found the correct font and the settings had been established we printed these cards out and later set them on the tables during the reception.  We also had a keepsake box placed on the gift table where everyone could deposit the cards.

My husband and I read the cards aloud the next day and were overjoyed with the wonderful and funny things people had to say.

It’s amazing to think these memories cost less than $5 to create!

Baby Shower for Amanda and Justin

This beautiful pregnant lady is my little sister. In these photos she was 30 weeks along. When I first approached her about taking pictures she was a little hesitant and shy, especially when I told her I want to draw on her tummy!

I grabbed a few things I thought might be useful and we drove down to the park. She wasn't too happy with the few pictures she saw that day but my creativity was in full swing and I knew these would turn out great! She saw these finished invitations today for the first time and was thrilled.

Welcome everyone!

I am excited to finally get this blog going and share my ideas for creative and inexpensive ways to enjoy your event.
