Fan Up

My daughter was very creative for her debt-free wedding . . . and one item in particular impressed me.  She created fans--using paint stir sticks and construction paper--and then pasted her order of worship onto the fan, along with the names of those in the wedding party.

This was an easy item to create, but one that was both functional (outdoor wedding) and beautiful.  And the cost was super low.

Instead of making your programs, or paying big bucks to have them produced by off-set printers or at KINKOS, why not make your own? 

Fans are only one idea; I'm sure you could think of others.

But bottom line, you don't have to spend top money to have a top flight ceremony.  Use your imagination and use the setting itself.
