  • Try these heart-shaped wedding favors; they're cheap and easy to make
  • Break with tradition and swap the tiered, iced wedding cake for a buffet of heart-shaped desserts like red velvet cake, cheesecake, black forest mousse and fudge brownie
  • Make a paper heart chain with some paper, a stapler and little spare time in front of the TV
  • Make a super affordable cake topper with a heart shaped photo frame with a picture of the two of you in it - cute!
  • Chocolate-dipped strawberries make a romantic addition to your cake, dessert buffet or candy buffet
  • Roses are the flower of choice for Valentines Day and weddings; make your own buttonholes with silk roses weeks before the wedding and cross another job off the craft list!

Remember to make a non-alcoholic version for guests who are driving. This fruity punch ice ring will make give your drinks a real...punch...and it's easy to make in advance. A large ice ring will also last longer in your punch bowl than a bunch of little ice cubes and will dress up the simplest of punch recipes.
