Garden Ridge always has great deals on decorative items so I decided to stop by this past weekend to take a look. They had piles and piles of Easter items on sale. I found these cute Easter baskets on sale for half off - $1.50 each basket. They had so many different colors, sizes, and designs. Unforunately, I couldn’t find one that had a creme/sage/chocolate color, but I found ones that were just as cute! The colors/fabric on the baskets are playful and age appropriate for the little munchkins.

We have a total of 40 kids under the age of 13 attending our wedding. I know they will be a main part of the wedding - running around the tables, playing along with the photographer, and pointing and laughing at us kissing. So, their tables had to be decked out as much as the adults. But of course within a kid budget.

Here is the breakdown of the items.

Garden Ridge - baskets, moss = approx total $2.12 each basket
Walmart - crayon sets, crayon books = approx total $4.00 each basket
Misc Toys and Bubble Gum = approx total $ 1.00 each
total = $7.00 - $8.00 per basket

Though the mini bubble gum machines are simply adorable and fun, I’m worried it maybe a choking hazzard for the little ones. So, I’m opting to forego the bubble gum in place of something else more child safe. I think they will really enjoy the baskets and keep them occupied for the night.

What else should I include that is child safe?
