We’ve all been to receptions that are standard – we welcome and celebrate the new married couple, watch them dance, and enjoy cake with them. But creative couples often enjoy coming up with fun games that include the entire guest list.

Wedding Favors For Less Than One Dollar

By henpartyplanner on Thursday, November 19th, 2009 | No Comments

When most people think of wedding favors they do not think it will be a substantial part of the wedding budget. This is largely because the unit price of each wedding favor is often quite low.

It can also add up quickly if the unit price is quite high. As example consider wedding favors with unit prices of $2 and $10.

But music’s not just for dancing. There are a myriad of activities you can plan around the music that will add an element of fun to your wedding.
