I saw on ebay the other day a great inexpensive favor that we can make on our own. It was a bulb with raffia in a 2x2 box with a great little saying on a card. Check it out under wedding favors. I might do that along with a donation to FH moms cause of death. We are not sure on which bulbs to choose from- prob flower of the month we choose. Hope this helps.

They will cost approx 30 cents each with the tulle.

My budget was $4 per person. We are getting married in December and giving out ornaments.

So I am saving a bit on budget in this area - I will spend more somewere else though!
