Your wedding is one of the happiest days of your life, and the time leading up to it can be both exciting and stressful as you work on planning everything.
All the little details have to be right, and your wedding should be everything you imagined.
That's hard to do in a short amount of time and on a budget, though.
There are so many things to think about, that you may gloss over certain details, or spend more money than you have to.
One area where you can easily avoid doing this is your wedding gift table.
This is an aspect of weddings that can be overlooked, but it's an important area that almost every guest will see, so you should always think about the table's decorations.
The decorations you choose don't have to be lavish or extravagant unless you want them to be.
They can be simple, elegant, and affordable as well.
The first thing you should consider when decorating the gift table is how the table itself looks.
If the table is ornamental and fits with the overall décor of your wedding, you may be able to leave it bare.
This is a particularly affordable solution, and won't cost you extra money.
If the table is less attractive, you can cover it with one of the table runners you're using for your guests' dining tables.
The exact same table runner will work, although you can also use one that's a different color or one that is personalized for the gift table in order to make the table stand out.
Since you're already using similar table runners, you won't end up spending a lot of extra time or money trying to decorate the gift table.
If you want to do more than just cover your gift table, you can also add a few extra embellishments that won't cost you too much.
One of the most popular embellishments is a label that states the table's purpose.
These can be simple, understated and affordable, or more expensive, customized and elegant pieces.
Another practical embellishment you can consider adding to the table is a gift card holder.
This will allow guests to place gift cards in a safe area where they won't be lost or forgotten, and can be a beautiful decorations as well.
Other things you might add to decorate the wedding gift table include candles, photographs of the wedding party, and flowers.
Anything you're using to decorate other tables used in the wedding that you have a little extra of would also be appropriate, and will ensure that you don't have to spend more money on specific decorations.
These extra decorative touches will make the gift table look better, and blend into the theme of your wedding.
