Yikes! On average, a wedding produces 400lbs of waste! Where does most of the waste come from? 🧐

10% of the waste are food waste. Once the food is served on the table, they are often not accepted for donation. You can communicate with your caterers about serving and refilling the food on need basis. It is okay that the buffet bar is kept just half full!

Check with your friends/ online on their catering experience - learning about the size of each portion! 🍽

Lastly and the easiest way, update your caterers when there is change in plan!

🧚Wedding couples looking for low-cost activities for kids in the wedding reception? Check out our posts for six easy options!

✨ Scavenger hunt!
Let your wedding be part of their game! Engage the kids by setting up a scavenger hunt - it can be an animal, a cupcake, or a guest!

✨ Temporary tattoo station!
Both adults and kids would enjoy this! You can get wedding themed temporary tattoo stickers and lay them out in the station! Keep a water spray for guests to stick in on their skin.

✨Rock painting!
Let the kids DIY the place cards with their own creativity! Set out a rock painting station so that they can paint the rock and write their name on it. If you prefer to keep it clean, consider alternative options such as getting alphabet stickers!

✨ Photo booth!
Photo booth for kids is of course kid-centric! Incorporate cartoon characters in the props, give them options to choose from, and let them be the photographer too!

✨Kids' bar!
All the above elements can be incorporated into a kids' bar! The importance of setting up a kids' bar is to have a diversity of activities or toys for kids.

✨Piñata!
Who doesn't love Piñata! Kids love Piñata because it holds candies, its fun, and it always signifies a significant day!

✨September passed so quickly that we have to keep up the pace of recording the entrepreneurial journey!

Early September, I am fortunate to speak at the Open House to share the student entrepreneurial experience with and . I was a participant of Illuminate program in 2023 and was grateful to have made it to the pitching competition finalist. Illuminate is a program organized by for female and gender diverse students to explore entrepreneurship and cultivate the business ideas. This is certainly a safe space for female and gender diverse students to talk about their ideas, share the concerns, and grow as a cohort. Entrepreneurial space has been dominated by male and having such a safe space is crucial. My journey with Illuminate program has been fantastic and I encourage you all to participate!🧚

Real story of a bride - Lana. 💗

Lana had her wedding few years back and understood the cost burden of arranging a wedding. She supported the idea of affordable and eco-friendly wedding. She shared her used wedding items with us, supporting the establishment of a community wedding inventory.

Two weeks later, a bride rented the wedding bouquets for her wedding. The bouquets are given a new life and repurposed from waste. Brides are benefitted from affordable cost ($20 for 2 bouquets!), and we are able to pass love on through the work we do.

Looking for affordable wedding rentals? Hoping to contribute to the community wedding inventory? Reach out to us!
