DIY and Budget Finds to SHARE!!

Alright well I haven't been on the boards to much because I have been working hard with my friends and MOH on favors.. I wanted to show you girls what we made and what we bought and then added to:
1.
Ok these are fake flowers.. I am not a big fan of fake flowers however for the ceremony I wanted flowers on the chairs and found these foam flowers at a country store in AMityville.. they look real to me.. so I am a happy woman and plus i save $$$



these will be on the cocktail tables outside and also at the entrance of the dining area
I have a whole bunch more
these were bought at marshalls ranging from $7 - $15 a piece


Birdcage for money cards
Found at an antique store in Amityville for $15

Favor boxes bought on ebay .. I think it was like 46 for $12 and ribbon I bought at Ac moore for .20 cents a spool inside the boxes are an assortment of hershey kisses


Our Programs ( this had to be the most labor intensive)
I designed the program in photoshop.. and then bought the card stock from target 50 for $10 and the paper inside is just xerox paper you can get anywhere.. my friend mike at work helped me the last couple of days design the way the ribbon was held on the programs.. I love it


Seating cards and Table Numbers
designed by my friend steve and i printed on 120lb card stock
the biggest pain with these was cutting them Lol


The easel is from dollar tree.. you would never know and yes its $1

Wedding Wands I bough online.. I just don't have the time to make them.. not bad though I paid like $65 bucks for 110 of them and then tied a cute poem on what to do with them on the stick part


thats it for now !!! lol

all this looks great!!

Can i ask where you got the seating cards from and what kind of printer you used? The printing looks so professional!

Re: DIY and Budget Finds to SHARE!!

the printing was done in a laser printer on regular 120lb stock paper that you can get anywhere.. I had to cut each one individually.
