Crafting

VERY VERY little got thrown away at the party, I have listed what and how I will be reusing

I will be reusing the:

Jars for the wedding (just dying them blue, I'll show you in the future).

Brown Paper for misc. crafts and parties.

Flag Paper for scrap booking and crafts

Poms for gift wrap

Balloons for shower and wedding, let alone parties (I had to order 72 of them)

Floral wire for home made wedding boutonnieres and corsages

Tea lights for shower and wedding

String for everything... and the kitties!

The only thing I was bummed about was not getting to use the decorated table clothes (we put crayons on them for fun) in the scrap book, they got too messy with food.

Here's a financial run down of what I spent on crafts:

I apologize for the small amount of pictures, I really just wanted to enjoy the day and the people so I wasn't my usual shutter bug self.

As far as food and booze, that's a different story, we spent around 2000.00 on the entire party (which is pretty good considering the amount of people and freedom we had.)
