Amazon also does flat pack ones you could spray paint. You could also glue it shut to keep it secure then smash it like a piggy bank later.

Table plan/numbers.

Most quotes were like £100 for a table plan, then like £15 for 10 table numbers.

Instead I have bought 7x£5 frames from Ikea (could go cheaper but picked the nicer ones), calligraphy writing the table place lists and setting them all out on the gifts table, then 6x£2.50 lanterns from Ikea and painting a number on them.

So £50 instead of £115. (Or £45, I'm not sure if you need a seating plan for the head table?) I haven't included cost of the parchment effect paper because it's paper I already have around. We're also going to re-purpose the frames after the wedding to give some family a nice framed wedding picture of us.

We're also getting a flatpack MDF post box for £14 instead of renting one for £40 or £15 for a cardboard one. Again, not including paint cost because we already have paint.

I'm also going to try and buy a £10 veil off amazon instead of paying £100 at the bridal store, but we'll see what the quality is like when it comes in and I can just use the cheap one at the hen do if it sucks. I suppose it depends on the size that you want, I only want mine butt-length.

We're not DIYing much because we don't want the stress.
