A friend got married  a couple of weeks ago and prior to that we were talking about the cost of the wedding. Who can afford an expensive wedding these days? You have to do everything you can to try and save as much on your wedding as you can. It's the small things that add up. He was telling me how he found a great place online and found some really nice wedding invitations. One way the cut down expenses was to make their own wedding favours. They looked through a few magazines to get ideas and then went out and made their own. They ended up saving some nice money and they gave their guests a nice personal gift and everyone enjoyed.
