Weddings these days are crazy expensive, with the average UK wedding costing a whopping £20,000. With that in mind, I thought I'd try and save some money (and maybe make some extra money in future) by getting a laser engraver for my woodworking shop and making my own wedding decorations. By flexing my creative muscles I'm going to make a Lord of the Rings inspired sign and some custom engraved bookmarks as gifts for my guests. I'm going to show the whole process here, mistakes and all. Will it work? Or will my ambition to save some cash get my wedding called off before its even begun?
