Wedding Shenanigans

Because you guys are awesome and creative and crafty and shifty and sly .... wait, that totally went in the wrong direction.

Anywho!

My BFF's sister, who is kinda like my sister, is getting married. We're scratching our heads for what to do about wedding favors. Something nice, but inexpensive. I'm looking into some DIY kinda things. The Bride is VERY frugal and we don't want to freak her out with a high cost. She's also in Germany, although the wedding will be here, so her involvement is all kinda second hand. Now, because you guys are all awesome, creative, crafty, SMART and a host of other adjectives, have you got any suggestions for me?

Please? Pretty please with cherries on the top?

Thanks in advance, you guys!

Mini picture books?

I like that idea! Thanks.

Oh wait, I just remembered something even better.

At my one of my friends weddings, she put together a booklet with really short bios of all of the guests they invited to the reception. Short, as in two to three sentences at most. Little nice/humorous anecdotes that mentioned how they knew the happy couple, and something the guests could all use as conversation starters with people they didn't already know. It turned into a fun game.

She said it was a tradition, maybe Swedish or Dutch. But that was pretty cool. It might take some work to put it all together, but it could be inexpensive but memorable and fun.

Oh, I REALLY like this idea. Forwarded it to the coordinator (bride's sister). That would be an amazing gift. Makes so much more personal. Me like!

Thanks.

Yeah - it was really cool, especially because I came in only knowing maybe 15% of the people there. It's a great way to get people to mingle with everybody instead of only the people they know (outside of the horny singles chasing each other) I can't remember where I put my book now, but it definitely made the party more fun.
