When it comes to wedding invitations, the presentation is so important. You don't want to spend your hard-earned money on these beautiful invitations but have them show up to your guests all messily stashed in the envelope. Even if you arranged them nicely to begin with, chances are they were tossed around while in the mail. Enter the solution: closures!

Today I'm talking all about people's least favorite (or most favorite, depending on who you ask, lol) topic: budgets. Read on to see what we splurged and saved on for our wedding last year!

Hi there! I'm Grace. This is my space to write about design, calligraphy, weddings, DIYs, home decor and more. Learn more about me here!

FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM

the console table has been dressed up for the holidays! i didn’t have a specific theme in mind this year, but i love how it’s mostly neutrals and greenery with pops of red 😊❤️ the one new addition i bought this year is that white faux fur ball garland from @target. other than that, it’s all pieces i owned already and swapped in for a very budget friendly decorating situation 😊

agates themselves are not inexpensive, and after you add on the cost of labor/calligraphy, they can be more expensive than you imagined. how can you get around this if you’ve fallen in love with them and need to have them at your wedding, but want to save a little? my recommendation if you are interested in these beauties for your place cards is to also treat these as favors for your guests! your guests will be more likely to remember to take these home since they don’t look disposable 😉 #weddingtips

the bar area got decorated this year mostly the same as last christmas, but what’s not to love? i added a few new items in, like the brass reindeer figurine from @crateandbarrel on the right side of the bar! also, my yarn wreath is old from @target, but i linked a similar one. i love the winter white feel it gives the bar setup! to shop my bar details, find me on the @liketoknow.it app or visit http://liketk.it/2yKtM. #liketkit @liketoknow.it.home #LTKholidaystyle #LTKholidayathome #LTKhome

currently working on a very large order of these vow books for a local photographer! these make great gifts for couples, so if you’re a wedding planner, photographer or other wedding vendor looking to buy in bulk for client gifts, please get in touch, bulk discounts are available 😊❤️
