After looking into make my own wedding flowers recently, I was wondering what else I could make to be very mse!

What have you made, what did it cost and more importantly what did you save?

Wedding favours are much more thoughtful and original if you make them yourself.

We're making our own invites, decorations and I'm knitting myself a shawl. We're also thinking of making up a load of muffins instead of having a cake.

What kind of decorations are you making MsChazzer? I thought about making my own cake but I thought by the time I do a trial run and then make the real thing, its cheaper to buy tescos own celebration cake!

We are planning on making

Invitations or we may buy if its cheaper as we only need 10.
Food for the weddding day itself
Wedding bouquets, button holes

So far I've made jewellery favour for the ladies, about eighty I think and cost about 40p each. Made my invites and working on the place cards. Probably spent £100 on these, but also have enough stuff for menu cards and order of services and a guest book, plus I'll have the cutters and stuff to take to my next car boot sale. I've made three tiaras, and MIL has made two little flower girl dresses with stoles. I have a nasty feeling that I'm going to have to make my own jewellery too as I can't find anything that goes with the tiara a bought for myself.

Bunting! I'm doing some plain white stuff for the garden (got a white sheet in the Ikea bargain corner) and one of my sisters is making coloured stuff for indoors. We'd quite like to put up some photographs of our favourite places and quotes from poems but haven't quite worked out how to do this without it looking naff, or like a classroom. On the venue website there's a photo of a wedding where they hung photographs of flowers and it looks good, must quiz our venue manager on this!
