Frequently asked questions
2 Goodie Bags
I think goodie bags are one of the best parts of the dessert table. Not only can they add a bit of décor, but they also encourage your guests to bring desserts home, so hopefully you’re not stuck with pounds and pounds of cookies. That being said, goodie bags can be an extra, unnecessary expense. They don’t have to be, though, because there are so many cute, free, downloadable options that will fit your wedding, no matter the theme!
3 Banners and Signs
There is a very small chance that your Pinterest wedding board does not involve banners or signs of some sort. They’re involved in nearly every Pinterest-perfect wedding. It can get pricey to get them designed and printed from professional graphic designers and printers, though, so save yourself a step or two and download free printables! The possibilities are nearly endless!
4 Invitations
It’s amazing how expensive wedding invitations are. They don’t have to be, though, because, thankfully, the Internet is swimming in free, downloadable, wedding invitations. Sure, they’re not perfectly designed to your liking, but in the long run, no one is paying nearly as much attention as you are, so it doesn’t need to be perfectly unique and new!
5 Checklist
If you’re really looking to cut down on the budget, nix the wedding planner. The Internet is full of different tools, checklists, and calculators that may completely eliminate the need for a wedding planner. You can find tools that help track your budget, remind you of what you need to do and when you need to do it, and so much more. These tools will help make your wedding planning so much easier!

DIY cake toppers are quickly becoming all the rage, especially on Pinterest. As rustic weddings grow in popularity, so do handmade wedding toppers. That being said, there are a number of different downloadable cake topper templates that will make your job so much easier!
7 Programs
Programs, especially if your ceremony is long or your bridal party is big, are probably a big expense that you didn’t really account for.
