Wedding planning can drain your wallet faster than a champagne fountain. But what if I told you that Dollar Tree is your secret weapon for creating stunning wedding favors that look like a million bucks?

Creative Centerpiece Hacks

Wine Glass Magic

Candle & Sand Centerpieces
  • Fill wine glasses with sand
  • Insert battery-operated candles
  • Wrap with coordinating ribbon
  • Double-duty decor that wows guests
