When I was engaged, someone had a great suggestion. Save the white ribbons and bows from our gifts to make frugal Christmas tree decorations. You don't have to blow your budget your first Christmas together. The biggest and gaudiest bow went on top.
We really liked the way the ribbons looked plus they took up very little space to store. We added white lights and white balls, keeping the white ribbons for years. We graduated to real Christmas ornaments when we both had jobs and our budget looked better, but still, most of our ornaments are homemade.
