ellyB Tips: Slipper Baskets at Weddings

It’s great when couples decide to do this added touch for their guests. Of course we can say it is the ladies responsibility to wear comfortable shoes, but chances are they want to show up looking their best for a day you took forever planning.  Who does not want a good looking crowd?

Having a slipper basket is a little gesture to show your guests that you are glad they came looking all spiffy but you now would like them to kick back and relax. The cost of the slipper basket is very inexpensive. Here are some reasons why you would want to have a slipper basket at your next event:

• You can further customize your details with a sweet message complete with your branding included
• Guests will remember that your wedding day was not all about YOU
• A packed dance floor all night!
• Slippers serve as a keepsake for the ones that wear them

Here are some ideas on how to create the perfect slipper basket:

• Buy a plain wicker basket for about four bucks and spray paint it the color of your wedding
• Purchase the mesh wine bags (perfect size for slippers) at your local dollar store
• DIY the tags with your message and monogram
• Purchase the slipper online at a wholesaler or a local craft store.  They are usually a dollar as well

This little project can go a long way!
