Use bookmarks as your escort cards and have them double as favors
Emily and Phil’s book-loving wedding had a pretty sweet book tie-in: bookmark escort cards! Take your card, find your seat, and have a little keepsake to remind you of a kick-ass wedding while you’re reading. Plus, most printing venues offer this size, so DIYing it would be pretty easy, if you were game.

Buffalo Exchange has a program called Tokens for Bags where, if you bring your own shopping bag, they’ll give you a 5-cent token to give to one of the three charities they’ve picked.

Cheers to these Star Wars wedding pint glasses
Tribesmaid Miriam and her fiancé Brian are serving home-brewed beers at their wedding, which just happens to be on May 4th.
