How to Save Money on Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Homemade Disinfecting Wipes

Homemade Disinfecting Wipes

1 cup of water
1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol
2 Tbsp. Dawn dish soap (only use Dawn)
... 2 Tbsp. ammonia (optional)
Essential Oil or extract of your choice for scent
Empty baby wipes container or zip lock bag to store wipes in
24 rags – cut into squares approximately 4×6 inches, but whatever size you have available or whichever size you need will work. Old washrags that have seen better days will also work.

Directions:

Mix the ingredients and pour over the rags. When you need to clean, use them as you would the disposable Clorox wipes.

The best thing about these is that you can throw these in the washing machine and use them again! Really! It’s that simple!

**You will need to adjust how much of the mixture you pour over your rags.

Country Style Wedding Ideas

I'm actually collecting these ideas for a friend who is having a country wedding.  But some of the ideas can be used for other occassions as well. 


Love the red and white gingham but you could use the fabric of your choice (maybe camo).  You coud do this idea with apples or even bottles of beer.

This looks easy enough to make.  You could even use leather.



Use a cowboy hat instead of the traditional flower girl basket!



These are actually very easy to make.  A candlestick holder, a mason jar and some E-6000 glue and you have some country toasting goblets.



What a lovely way to seat the guests.  Burlap over hay bails is a nice touch.




Transportation to the wedding.....

Reception area....Love this!


Use shotgun casings for place cards..


Ice cold beer in a wheelbarrow of ice



This would be a frugal idea for decorating tables at the reception.

Love this idea for the groomsmens picture.  The T-Shirts could be a part of the groomsmen's gifts too.

Cupcake stand for parties using wrapped boxes.

Glue fake flowers to the bottom of a tall vase (or to stones you could drop in), fill with water, and top with a floating candle. Gorgeous and you could use any color to fit the room you put it in

This would make a really cute wedding photo

I do not know who to give credit to for this picture.

Another great idea for a photo.

Have guests write a message to the bride and groom on a little heart.  Mount the hearts in a frame for the couple to have in their home as a keepsake from the wedding.  You could even put a picture of the couple in the center. 

Picture and idea from Little Birdie Invitations and Design


These "sandles" are $29.99 on Amazon.  I'm sure you could figure out how to make them yourself and save money.  These are wonderful for beach weddings.

Here are some Unity Ceremony ideas for your wedding...

Great idea.  Wish I had these at my wedding!



Have a little fun with the cake topper!

You've just got to see these 8 Super Fab Popcorn Buffet Bars... http://shar.es/Ay1MV


I love that this couple chose to have empty chairs across from them for guests to stop by and chat a while. It gave them a chance to enjoy their meal while still interacting with guests...http://shar.es/kE9HM
 


Simple Chair Covering- Tull folded over and pinned:less time-consuming than tying bows or knots. also won't get as wrinkled and can re-use for other occasions with different clip! Barrettes could work.
