stumbleupon Some couples want to personalise every aspect of their wedding. I’ve been to weddings where everything was personalised from the serviettes, table clothes, even the cutlery was engraved with the bride and groom’s initial. This same couple also had most of the lollies in the lolly buffet personalised with their name and wedding date. Most guests end up leaving the empty wrappers at the reception anyway.
Whilst the idea is nice in theory, you can end up spending quite a bit of money personalising everything, especially if you are stretching your budget to do so. So if you are looking for ways to trim the fat off your wedding budget, ditch the personalisation.

Nice article there, made for interesting reading. Whilst it’s understandable that couples want to personalise their wedding as much as possible, I don’t think it necessarily has to stretch the budget if you’re prepared to do some of the work yourself.
For our own wedding, we gave to each of our guests a miniature bottle of wine (the kind that hold just 1 glass). We purchased the wine bottles and then simply removed the existing labels, and replaced them with our own personalised labels that we made and printed on the computer.
Doing simple things like this ourselves meant we saved money on personalisation that we could then spend on other aspects of the wedding.
I think in th eplanning stages it can be really easy to get carried away with we need this, we need that etc, but come the day what will matter the most is having your friends and family around rather than spending $1500 on personalised coasters that will end up soggy by the end of the night anyway!
