What are some quick and inexpensive DIY projects?

Okay, I know about:
1) Votive candles placecards (maybe not inexpensive but they look really nice)
2) Cardbox photocube
3) flowerpetal cones
4) kissing bells

I'm thinking about doing the slippers. Is this a project that I can do for under $75? (Want about 25-50 slippers? Just enough to fit one nice box?

How many female guests are you expecting??? It cost me $75 and I had about 85 slippers.
ETA: And the votive candle place cards were not too expensive at all!

I'm expecting maybe 200 -250 guests? 85 slippers would be great! where did you get yours from?

Yeah, the votive candles weren'r too bad.

You can make your own programs too, and cry packs are popular on this site.

If you are making your own programs, you can make your own menu's as well using the same paper and the table number cards (or if you decide to name the tables according to your theme). If you are computer saavy you can make CD's with music from the wedding as favors.

You can make your own table names/numbers. The most inexpensive project I made was actually my unity candle. I think it was only 10 altogether.

Just to reiterate the other girls:

-Menus
-Cry packs
-Programs
-Table numbers

You could also make cookie favors, or your own centerpieces.

Kissing balls if you have little ones in the wedding party.

Aisle bows.
You could put pictures out of your relatives from their weddings and decorate plain frames to make them look even prettier!

Aqueduct flea market. Just go around asking for the best prices. When you are willing to buy that many they are really willing to negotiate.
