Bullet Bottle Opener

Joe found a great gift idea for your groom or for your groomsmen. These bullet bottle openers are made with a demilitarized .50 caliber bullet casing that is about 5.25" long tall. A pretty neat and genuinely unique gift idea that is sure to be a keepsake for everyone in your grooms side of the bridal party.

Paper Dahlia Favor Packaging

I love this idea for dahlia flower favor packing from Martha Stewart Weddings. You can download a free template from their website too, and view more detailed instructions! I love them because you can easily create these in whatever color you wish, and include favor tags to spruce them up a bit. They're super cute, not very difficult to make, and go with several wedding styles from an outdoor whimsical wedding to an indoor event.
