Low-Budget Wedding Games (₱0–₱1,000) - Printables & DIY Kits

Budget principles

• Prioritize games that use paper, phones, or household items
• Keep rounds short so one small prize fuels many winners
• Reuse props across multiple games
• Print in black and white on lightweight cardstock, then add color with ribbons you already have
