slipper baskets- at least $1 per pair plus cost of baskets at around $7 each.

table names- I bought filigree wood frames at the dollar store for $1 and spray painted them gold! I will use paper from paperandmore.com and print them myself.

Seating chart-I will be getting mine made by sonic stef-she said she could do it for about $160. FM her for details

programs- I purchased paper from paper and more for 29.99 for 100 sheets of metalic pink paper. I will also be using regular ivory computer paper for inside of programs. Organza Ribbon from acmoore to tie programs. Probably about $40 for 100 programs.

I have been collecting coupons form Acmoore and Michaels every week and going in there and buying something that I need, whether it be candles or organza ribbon spool! Since you have time, you can buy something each week! I have been getting those twelve packs of votive candles with holders that are normally $7, for $3.50 b/c of the coupons! I alsmost have all of the votives needed for my reception already!
