How to cut costs planning your wedding

HOLYOKE, Mass. (mass Appeal) - If the price tag on your wedding seems to be skyrocketing and you want to find a way to cut costs-consider making your own wedding favors.

With some creativity and craftsmanship, you will impress your wedding guests by giving favors that reflect your personality and style.

Beth Degray, Director of Sales for the Log Cabin and Delaney House in Holyoke offers some tips.

Before you begin, think about what you would like to communicate through your wedding favors. The following are some questions that might give you some ideas:

1. What is a quality or characteristic that defines you, the Bride and Groom?
2. What is your favorite hobby or past time?
3. How did you meet?
4. What is an activity that you and your fiancé enjoy doing together?
5. What is the mood of your reception: formal dinner, casual party, or family get-together?
6. Does your reception have a theme?
7. Will your wedding take place during a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving? Does the season play a role?
