DIY WEDDING GIFTS THAT WILL HELP YOU SAVE
DIY wedding gifts are a great way to save on the various occasions you have. Scroll down to see some more ideas and how I like to save on weddings!
I want to save for the special occasions that my friends celebrate. I want to save for the day I’ll be a homeowner. I want to save for my child’s future. I want to some day be in control of my finances, because I was careful with them.
I want to know that I’ll always have some cash socked away so that I can live life to its fullest.
I love attending events hosted by people I care about. Weddings are some of my favorite events. While I do enjoy going, sometimes I can’t get rid of the pressure that comes along with attending it. Between travel costs, outfitting the family, and then a gift that shows I really love them, it can be hard on a family like ours.
One of my favorite ways to save, and the easiest, is on the gift. While I can’t afford to buy something crazy expensive, giving something handmade adds a personal touch, and gives me much more bang for my buck. For a while, I’ve been making napkin rings as a wedding gift for when I don’t want to spend a crazy amount.
Here are some adorable DIY wedding gifts that are budget-friendly too! They come in a variety of skill levels and budgets, so that there’s something for everyone. Even those that are a little more costly are worth much more than what you pay once you’ve finished the project.
