Spring: What a Beautiful Time for a Wedding

It's Spring and what a more beautiful time for a wedding. Every
bride (and groom) wants her (and his) day to be fabulous. Weddings
can cost a fortune. The average wedding in the United States costs
over $20,000 and doesn't include the rings or honeymoon.

Wedding favors don't have to be expensive and can still be a lovely
remembrance of your special day. Here are a few ideas.

Place a package of flower seeds in a cellophane bag. Tie with curly
ribbon in your wedding colors and add a card that's says "Watch Our
Love Grow" with your names and date of the wedding. Starting several
pots of the flowers is a nice touch and adds some color to the
favor table as well.

Candles are not expensive. Visit the dollar store or Goodwill store
and buy an assortment of wine glasses, they don't have to match.
Tie a curly ribbon around the stem of the glass with a card that
says "Light Up Love" with your names and date of the wedding. Place
a votive candle in the wine glass. You can stabilize the candle with
just a dab of hot glue.

Candy kisses can be placed in the wine glass. Covered with plastic
wrap and then tied to the stem with curly ribbon so they don't fall
out.

One very personal touch takes a little time and effort but not a lot
of money. Have a friend with a digital camera follow the bride and
groom as they greet each guest and snap a photo. Or have the
amateur photographer snap each guest with the bride and groom as
the guest goes down the receiving line. The photos are then printed
at the reception and pinned to a cloth covered bulletin board.
As each guest leaves they take their photo with them.

Hope these ideas helped.
