More Inexpensive Wedding Ideas
Custom monogram cake toppers can be used to accentuate a larger theme you have for your reception by matching fonts or logos. Use your cake topper after the wedding in a shadowbox or on a display shelf (our brushed metal toppers feature removable spikes).
You can match the font of your cake topper to one of these monogram embossers or stamps. Then use the embosser or stamp in different areas of your reception (like stamping or embossing menu cards and place cards, favor labels, or table tents displaying the table numbers). You can use your embosser or stamp design long after the wedding or create a different die refill (like one with your new names and address) to use with the same embosser.
You can use a computer to create your own monogram or logo accents on printable invitations, menu cards, or programs. Not creative or handy with computer graphics programs? You can purchase a logo in high resolution .jpg or a vector-based format (the preferred format for most professional printers) to use in your wedding projects.
Consider using certain wedding favors in small quantities to accent tables or certain areas of your wedding reception. For example, our Luminous Mini Lanterns are both decorative and can be given to friends or family as favors or thank you gifts at the end of the evening.
Even if you're not planning to have assigned seating, order a couple sets of place card holders for your head table (where the wedding party sits) and reserved seating for your parents and grandparents. It's also a great idea to decorate around the reception hall with photos of you and your spouse as you were growing up and some of you together while dating. Use place card holders like our "Victorian Chair Tealight Place Card Holders" or "Bride and Groom Theme Placecard Holders" to hold and display your pictures on tables or shelves around the room. Not only is it decorative, fun, and inexpensive - it encourages guests to get up and mingle a little bit as they move about the room to see all the pictures.
Order labels with custom designs to customize everything from welcome bags to favor tins. Fill welcome bags with goodies like snacks and important information (maps and times for the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, or any other special get-together before or after the wedding) and leave them at the front desk of the hotel(s) where your guests will be staying. Ask the hotel staff to give a welcome bag to each guest or family at check-in.
