Craft cuts

Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate? Craft Cuts! The company makes great-looking customizable table numbers (which can be surprisingly hard to find). These wooden digits come in 100-plus fonts and 36 colors — or unpainted so you can finish them in your palette. (They’re also available in acrylic and metal.) Flat-bottomed styles stand alone, or you can use stick mounting tape to the bottom of curved ones to keep them upright. Bonus idea: Use letters to mark the head table with your initials.

Tag your bags

Press to impress: A cool idea plus a hot iron add up to witty gift bags when you transform basic woven sacks with our iron-on designs. First, download our clip art at marthastewartweddings.com/muslin-bags. Then print (with an ink-jet printer) onto heat-transfer paper made for light-colored fabrics. Cut out the image, place it facedown on a bag, cover with a cloth and apply a hot iron on the cotton setting for 30 seconds. Peel off the back, and voilà!

• Bridesmaids’ Gifts: Treat the girls to mini beauty essentials for day-of primping (from $10, stowawaycosmetics.com).

• Welcome Bags: Pack them with helpful provisions — from breath mints to pain relievers — which are always appreciated the morning after.

• Kids’ Table Games: A travel-size tic-tac-toe set will keep your younger guests busy (and quiet!) during toasts ($18, shop.brightbeam.etsy.com).

Flowers, the sequel

Post-party, give your stunning bouquets and arrangements a glorious second act brightening up a local women’s shelter, nursing home or hospital. More than a dozen charities across the country make it easy by taking care of everything from picking up the blooms to providing paperwork so you can claim the donation as a tax deduction. For a list of organizations, visit marthastewartweddings.com/donate-flowers.

Big day mad lips

A _____ in your _____ is a great way to entertain guests before the ceremony. If you filled in the blanks with “game” and “program,” you’re onto something. Download the template at marthastewart weddings.com/marital-madlibs. Print, attach the pages to your programs with photo corners and clip on a pen. Have ushers collect the sheets as everyone heads to cocktail hour. The best part? You can turn the pages into an instant guest book. Just stick them into an album for a lifetime of _____ reading. (“Happy,” “hilarious” and “sweet” all apply.)

Fine vinyl

Chic style can come from surprising sources. Like, say, vinyl. It’s available in every color under the sun (not to mention patterns like plaid and polka dots) and can easily elevate your table settings. For centerpieces, snip plastic strips to the same height as vases, roll them up and slip them inside. (Add a glue dot to keep the strip in place on larger vessels.) Indelible ink turns tags into seating cards.

Cocktail hour pop-up party

For a warm-weather wedding, start your reception off right by keeping guests cool — and delighting them with boozy ice pops. Mix and match your favorite fruit juice and liquor. (If there’ll be children at the party, be sure to have a variety of nonalcoholic pops ready, too.) To ensure that the pops freeze, add just one shot (or 1½ ounces) of alcohol to one cup of juice, which makes three treats. Note: Bubbles don’t freeze well, so save the Champagne for sipping. For an extra kick, personalize the sticks with the wedding date, your initials or a cheeky saying.
