Gifts

Many couples distress over the amount of money they could spend on gifts for attendants, groomsmen, etc. But there are many lower cost options.

Some brides and grooms make their own gifts. Others look for deals (such as buy one, get one free). And there are always great finds to be had at antique stores, pawn shops, etc.

Another option is to peruse cut rate catalogues and web sites like Oriental Trading. Lots of fun stuff at the fraction of the cost.
