Invitations were 40.00 but had a 50% off coupon
from Michael's so they were 20.00 for 40.00
The invites were beautiful but I wanted
make them unique.
I personalized each invite by adding clip art of a tree
with hearts.
All the little touches make a difference.
I used a wax stamper to seal each invite.
I purchased the flowers from Trader Joes
Irises were only 3.00 a bunch and roses were
15.00 for 2 dozen at Costco.
Set Up
Food
it was purchased at Costco...it was a
simple shrimp tray
soup and sanwiches
as well as a self made fruit & veggie tray from produce
from Aldi
It was about 100.00 total for all the food items

Mums were purchased for the tables from my Aunt.
It was not my choice but since it was
for my brother's Wedding I rolled with it.
Candles were clearance from left over valentines day decor
They were 10.00 for 20 but Michael's sells packs of 10 for 10
don't forget your coupon!
very cheap tea lights from Ikea as well as candle holders.
I owned chair covers and table cloths for him to borrow
but you can usually rent them for 3.00 each or craigslist
or even purchase them from
for the same cost as renting and them sell them
when you are done with them.
We bought this tulle from Michales for $10 each roll
and used 3 rolls
Another Idea is to use 1" robbon from Costco's Craft section
You get 50 yds for $6-7 bucks.
Use about 2 yards per chair to tie a proper ribbon
Ceremony Site
The ceremony was a quiet one help in a quiet ridge overlooking
Minnehaha falls in Minneapolis
Lucky for my brother, my Aunt was clergy and did the
ceremony for free
Reception Site
We found a newly renovated room with large windows overlooking
The lake. It included a kitchen for our "Caterers" to prepare the food.
Programs
Another self print option from the
"Brides Collection" at Michale's
30.00 for 20 and of course we cad a coupon
for 40% off
Finally the cake.
Luckily for my brother, I do cakes
so I made it for him as his gift
Pictures were taken by my husband so they were
free but you can get a friend to do them
by looking at photography websites to see good angles
and get good ideas for shots.
Renting a great camera is also another option
Check your internet for camera shots and
get some recommendations from their staff
for what is best to use.
