Cheap way to package gifts

I found this project on the Wedding Bistro at Bellenza and thought that this was a cool and budget-friendly way to do packaging. I mean how easy is it to find newspapers and magazines as your materials for this project. And who doesn’t have scissors. Just get a bottle of Mod Podge from Michael’s. A bottle costs less than $3 bucks! I luv this idea — so cool and easy! Check it out. I think it’s a great way to package wedding gifts if you are trying to be eco-friendly.

Another Great Way to Save this Summer

While we are almost half way through summer, I noticed that Red Envelope is having another sale. It’s also a great time to start buying those gifts for a fall wedding as retailers close out many of their summer items. And with gas being so expensive nowadays, buying online isn’t so bad considering how much of a hassle it can be to find something affordable and still look classy. Another option altogether, of course, would be to make something special like a gift basket, which can be a lot of fun to assemble. You can find items that both the bride and groom love and collect them in a basket. Look at diy books for decorating baskets when thinking of a lovely way to present this at the wedding. This also give you something to do this summer.
