Looking for new wedding ideas that are within a tight budget…

1. Take the flowers with you. These flower containers are made from fast food drink caddies — how creative is that? Use them as a centerpiece, and encourage your guests to each take home a pot of flowers at the end as a favor. (I Do It Yourself).

2. Dress up your envelopes. Dressing up your envelopes is a great way to add a personal touch and help set the mood for the wedding. You can download these templates for free. (Just Something I Made.

3. Short and sweet favors. If you’re on a budget, try out these for favors. Choose a small sweet (chocolate, a hard candy, a mixture of each), and simply wrap and tie. The total cost per favor is about 10 cents. Beat that! (Project Wedding via {frolic!}).

4. Put a name on it. These monogrammed paperweights are just too cool to pass up. A perfect gift for anyone in your bridal party (guys and girls), they’re fairly easy to make, and it’s something that everyone can use. (Junie Moon).

5. The two-minute project. This Japanese-inspired bag really will only take you two minutes to make — and it looks so chic. Could be an excellent bridesmaid gift or a nice beach bag for your honeymoon. (Annekata).
