1. Deck of Cards -
Have your photos imprinted on a plain deck of
cards.
2. Bookmarks - Create bookmarks with a graphic
at the top or use your engagement picture. Type
in a short poem and add your wedding date. You
can pick up plain bookmarks at local craft
stores and print them off on a color printer.
3. Seashells - Spend a day at the beach
gathering interesting seashells. Decorate each
one with ribbon and dried flowers.
4. Message in a Bottle - Buy cheap bottles at a
Dollar Store or craft store. Fill part way with
confetti. Create a small, hand written scroll
with a special message to your guests. Roll up
and place in the bottle.
5. Gourmet Coffee Packs - Buy a special flavor
of gourmet coffee. Place enough in small plastic
bags to make one pot of coffee. Tie the end up
with ribbon. Add a sprig of flowers and a gift
tag.
6. Fortune Cookies - Buy fortune cookies at a
local grocery store. Carefully remove the
message with tweezers, then insert your own
messages inside. Place 2 or 3 cookies on a
circle of tulle and tie up with a colorful
ribbon.
7. Origami Figure - Pick up a book on origami
(Chinese paper folding) at your local library
and buy some beautiful origami paper from a
local craft store in your wedding colors. Create
a figure that reflects your wedding theme and
give one to each of your guests.
8. Liquors - Purchase those small bottles of
sample liquors found near the checkout of most
liquor stores. Tie a ribbon and message around
the neck of the bottle.
9. Personalized Candy Bars - Buy flat candy bars
(like a plain Hershey's chocolate bar). Measure
the wrapper on the bar and figure out where the
section of the wrapper would be on the top of
the chocolate bar. On the computer, create a
design or special saying within the top area.
Type in your names and wedding date as well.
Print out the design and cut to fit if necessary
and wrap the bar in its new cover. Use a glue
stick to secure the ends along the back.
10. Tree Seedlings - You can purchase small tree
seedlings from your local nursery. Tie a ribbon
around the pot and include a message that asks
your guests to plant their trees so they can
grow, just as your love will grow.
