I found this set of recycled 100 brown kraft cards on eBay for the bargain price of just one pence, yes that's right one penny. They were on as an auction and I won them at their starting price of 1p. They were posted from Hong Kong so took a few weeks to get to me, but the postage was only £1.70. So all in all the grand total of £1.71!

I have used these as business cards and have stuck our curcular stickers on them but these would also work well as placenames or save the date cards.

It looks like they are no longer available at auction price but you can buy now (with free postage) for £2.05. The link to the item is >> here. So grab yourself a bargain. We love sharing our thrifty finds with you.

We are so ready for Spring, lighter nights, warmer weather, new life and the official start of the wedding season. In order to get you in the mood, here are some wedding décor ideas for creating an impact without spending a fortune.

These pretty spring pictures were taken by the fabulous Ally Byrom at Saltmarshe Hall a magnificent Stately Home in East Yorkshire, that we had the pleasure of visiting for this little styled shoot.

1) Old lights make great hanging décor

2) Create pom pom garlands using haberdashery trim

3) Get creative with ribbons

4) Hang haberdashery hoops - want to find out how to make this. Click *here* for a DIY.

5) Create sparkly table numbers or words using glitter paper

6) Don't be afraid to mix old and new 

7) Look at what you have already got Look all around you for inspiration, in supermarkets, in cupboards, wardrobes, your Grandma's house. You will be amazed by the possible décor that you already have. This old fashioned bottle came full of cordial from Marks and Spencer's.

I recently found these super cute thank you stickers on Etsy. As well as using for packaging up preloved purchases these would also be great for a whole host of wedding crafting. You could make your own thank you cards or stick on jam jars and fill with sweets or jam for homemade favours. 

They were a very thrifty purchase as 30 stickers was just £1 or you could get 250 for £10. I got them in both the circle and heart variations.

Happy crafting,

Here at Sell My Wedding we love bargains and thrifty finds. So I thought I would share these cute little pin wheel cocktail sticks that I picked up in Asda this weekend - yes Asda. The pack of ten cost just £1.50.

They would be the perfect detail for a seaside themed wedding. Place in bouquets, centrepieces etc etc 

I bought them to decorate my cheesecake sandcastle...

Happy bank holiday.
