The Blog of a Burlington Wedding & Event Planner

Ready for some more ideas on how to cut frivolous stuff from your wedding? Here’s part two!

2. Most Guest Favours – Who wants a 2×3 picture frame or a pair of candles shaped like a heart? How about a keychain with your names and wedding date engraved on it? Really anything with your names and wedding date on it will be pretty much not be appreciated. Think about all the time you spend planning, and then, the money these little ‘gifts’ end up costing you to buy and often assemble, only be let on the table for the hotel staff to…yes, throw out. If you want to give your guests a small token of thanks, make sure its something that they will like and notice. And if you can’t think of anything that would fit that bill, then make a donation in each of your guest’s names to a charity that is close to your heart. Then just leave a small card at each place setting informing them of this donation. And no, you should not tell them how much you donated.

Stay tuned for more next week when I will give you part three…
