Wedding planning can be stressful, especially when you have a million other things to think about. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! With a little bit of planning, your wedding day will be stress-free and full of happiness. Your wedding is the happiest day of your life, so it’s only right that your wedding day is filled with happiness and good vibes too. Therefore, make sure to plan a basket filled with the things that will make your wedding a little bit more special and memorable. Here’s a list of useful things you can include in your wedding basket:
Invitations
The instructions for invitations are super specific and most brides are too busy to be aware of everything that needs to be done for their wedding. As a result, many couples forget to include something very important in their wedding basket: the invitations. You’ll need to have enough invitations to invite all your guests, as well as any applicable relatives and/or the officiant. You can ask relatives and friends to save the invitation for you if you know they’ll want to attend your wedding and save you the trouble of making copies. You can find wedding invitations that are designed to look like press releases, but don’t be fooled by the fancy designs. The most important thing is the information that you include on the invitation. Make sure to include your names, address, date and time of your wedding, and the names of all guests who are invited. You can also include information about the reception, such as the location and what time it will start and end, as well as any dietary restrictions you want people to keep in mind. If you have a specific theme for your wedding, you can include information that complements your theme. For example, if you’re having a garden wedding, include information about the flowers and the type of weather you’d like.
Wedding Cards
When you’re on a budget, you may not have a ton of money to put into your wedding cards. That’s okay! There are still some things you can do to make your wedding cards more personal and special. One way to do that is to write something meaningful on your wedding cards. For example, if you’re having a beach wedding and your guests are all ocean lovers, your guests will most likely be all smiles when receiving a card that says “what makes the ocean blue is you”. Another way to personalize your wedding cards is to write on the back of your invitation. If you want to add colour to your invitations, you can actually colour the back of your wedding invitation as well. Another way to make your wedding cards more special is to write on the inside as well. This is especially helpful if you’re having a large wedding, as you’ll have more room to write.
Favours
You don’t have to buy expensive favours to make your wedding basket special, you just have to think creatively. You can find things to include in your favours at your local dollar store or at a garage sale. You can even ask your bridal party members and family members if they have anything they’d like to give you as a gift. If you’re having a favours station, you can look into using wreaths, bunting, and candles to create a decorative look, rather than just using plastic wrapped gift bags. You can find lots of creative ways to incorporate these items into your favours. You can also use different colours to create a colourful look, and you can even incorporate patterns into some of your favours. Make sure to buy enough favours to go around – the guests at your wedding won’t be happy if they don’t get a favour!
Thank You Cards
It may not seem like it, but your thank you cards are actually one of the most important things you can include in your wedding basket. Your thank you cards are the one thing you can do to make sure your wedding dreams come true. You can use your thank you cards to thank all your guests for attending your wedding, as well as for all the wonderful things they contributed to your wedding. You can also use your thank you cards to thank the vendors who helped make your wedding day possible, and to let them know when and where you’d like your wedding gifts to be sent. You don’t have to write a lot in your thank you cards, but you should make sure that you include the following: – Your name and address – The date and time your wedding was – The names of your guests and any gifts they received – Any special thank you messages you have for your guests – Any thank you messages you have for your vendors
Matching Cake Boxes
If you want to make your wedding basket even more special and memorable, you can match your wedding cake to your colour scheme. This is especially helpful if you’re having a very specific colour palette, like an ocean-themed wedding. You can also match your wedding cake to the decor items on your wedding table. This is especially helpful for couples who want to add to the timeless feel of the wedding table. For example, you can match your wedding cake to your wedding table runners, place mats, and napkins. This will make your wedding table look more like a table setting, rather than a bunch of random items that are just thrown on top of each other.
Wedding Toilet Paper
There’s a good chance your guests will be in need of some bathroom breaks during your wedding. That’s why you should include some wedding toilet paper with your wedding basket. You can also include a toilet paper dispenser to make sure your guests don’t have to carry around toilet paper all day.
Wrapped Tubes of Honey
Weddings are all about the sweetness and flavour of love, but you can make your basket even sweeter by including some honey in your wedding basket. You can use honey in many different ways at your wedding, such as using it as a sweetener in your drinks, or as a topping for your wedding cake or as a gift to your guests. You can also use honey as a wedding favour, by placing a small vial of honey in a decorative tube. You can also use honey as a wedding decoration.
String Lights
You can add a lot of personality to your wedding with string lights, so they should definitely be included in your wedding basket. String lights can be used to create any kind of look you want, from a beach-themed look to a classic wedding feel. You can also use string lights to add more colour to your wedding basket. For example, you can use red string lights to add a warm red tone to your wedding basket, or you can use blue string lights to add a cool blue tone to your wedding basket. There are a lot of ways you can use string lights, so make sure to check out the different options when you’re planning your wedding basket.
Budget-Friendly Decor Items
One of the most important things you can include in your wedding basket is budget-friendly decor. This will make sure your wedding basket is cheap yet elegant. You can use many different items to create an elegant and budget-friendly wedding basket. Here are a few items you can use to create your wedding basket: – Wall art: Wall art can be very cheap, and there are lots of different options to choose from.
