Awesome ideas and you were very frugal and resourceful! I, too, want to get the starfish necklaces for my MOH's and can't believe you found them at Kohl's at that price! I'll check mine today. Thanks for all the great ideas! Hope everything ran smoothly

Thanks! You ladies are so sweet!

 

Here's something else I forgot to add to this thread... lol

 

DIY Sand Ceremony Kit

Tall skinny vases- $1 each at Dollar Tree

Jar on sale for $3 at Michael's

Colored sand from Michael's as well.

I soaked off the decal and added raffia and a starfish charm to the jar and I love how it looked at our ceremony! The air-tight seal helped the whole thing travel back home intact!

 

I was considering buying one of the $45 sand ceremony sets but I'm really glad I went the DIY route. :-)

 

 

 

Jamaican rum cake favors

We decided to give traditional Jamaican rum cake as favors at the wedding. I used the Vistaprint "business cards" with our logo on them as tags for each box, and my cousin in Montego Bay got a local baker to make the rum cake for us. My mom and aunt cut and boxed it once we go there.

The rum cake as a favor was such a great idea. My wedding is a year away and I felt like I wouldn't be able to all the DIY bridal items. BUT you have given me hope! Thank you!
