Draw!

Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding . . . the blog written by a father of the bride and author of Before You Say "I Do", Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget, and dozens of bridal articles.  Visit here to find your own path toward a debt-free wedding.

Here's a fun and low-cost idea to parlay into your reception. Bring in a sketch artist or cartoonist to draw guests.  Many of these artists will work on tips (with guests giving the tips), and in a few minutes of sitting, guests can enjoy a funny sketch of themselves . . . which they can take home, of course.

Check with your local art community or state fair board to get names.  This is one of the most enjoyable and unique events you can have at your reception.
