Whether you\u2019re handy with a glue gun or couldn\u2019t cut a piece of paper in half to save your life, you can still get crafty with your wedding plans and save money on everything from invitations to d\u00e9cor and all the finer details in between.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A little creativity and a can-do attitude are all you need to make your wedding day one to remember.\u00a0Here are five money-saving tips from Cricut<\/a> to get you started:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An invitation to get crafty<\/b>: Why spend all your savings on paying a designer and printing company to create save-the-date and invitation cards when you can easily create your own? There are several apps with stunning templates, as well as online tools you can use to create beautiful custom designs for free. You can also get to work crafting your own unique wedding cards \u2013 from acrylic to an expert \u2018laser cut\u2019 look and more, the only limit is your imagination!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Keepsakes for every guest<\/b>: Give guests a lasting memory of your special day with a handmade souvenir for them to take home. Design and print custom labels that you can stick on mini chocolate bars, or personalise your gifts by embossing keychains (in the style of dog tags to go with her adorable doggy wedding theme) with guests\u2019 names and a unique picture for each.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Bridal and grooms party gifting<\/b>: Asking your bridesmaids, maid of honour and grooms men to be part of your wedding day is one of the most fun and memorable parts of planning a wedding, so why not \u2018pop the question\u2019 with a small but special and quirky gift? Create your own \u2018bride squad\u2019 T-shirts and personalised robes to wear while getting ready on the morning of the wedding, or a personalised hip flask or cigar case for the guys.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Fake your own florals:<\/b> You can spend a fortune on flower arrangements that won\u2019t last more than a day or two, or you can craft a few of your own DIY florals that will stand the test of time. You could create stunning peonies out of<\/span> simple coffee filters<\/span><\/a>. A great tip to consider is including a few real flowers in the bunch along with the artificial ones, to add volume and make the artificial ones look slightly less obvious.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. It\u2019s all in the details: <\/b>Seating charts and place cards at every seat sound like too much hassle? How about a DIY ring box or any special signage with messages for guests? These little things make all the difference when it comes to the experience of the day, and the photographs you\u2019ll have to look back on it\u2026and it can be easy and fun to make yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
