Some Good Deals I've Found!

Hey ladies .. I have been MIA for a little bit, but hope all is going well with everyone!! Wanted to fill you all in on some good deals to take advantage of if needed!!

RIBBON -- Michael's has a TON of NICE ribbon (I bought 44 things of black glitter ribbon for belly bands) 70% off ... that means I bought $1.99 ribbon for 57 cents!!

PAPER GOODS -- TONS on Etsy ... invite inserts, menus, thank yous (from the soon-to-be Mrs ...),  etc. (LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT CODES FOR CERTAIN ONES I'VE USED) most of these are only good  through the year, so get at me quick!

Groupon for Delphine Press (which is where I got my invites) ... super good deals which makes their stuff reasonable ... ($99 for $225, $179 for $450, or $299 for $800, can only use one on one order .. that got me when I ordered invites, boo ... but can get napkins, menus, programs, coasters, matches, stickers, favor bags, and so on here)

GARTER(S)/belts -- Not necessarily a "deal" but this lady has some GREAT garters ... I just got mine in the mail and wanted to cry it was so stinking beautiful!   http://www.etsy.com/shop/AlisaBrides

VEILS -- Again, not necessarily a "deal" but some good quality stuff!  She hooked me up with a gorgeous rhinestone edged veil and 3 birdcage veils for my little triplet flower girls (I may be more excited to see them all dressed up than me)

OK, so that isn't as many as I though but might be helpful for someone ...

Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas and has some fun New Year's plans ... cannot believe our weddings will be here in way under 3 months ... eeeeeek!!! =)

  • How great is Etsy!? 
    I can't stop looking at the site. Way better at inspritation then Pinterest (but maybe thats just me.) So far from Etsy I've got FI's ring, Decorations, paper straws, groomsmen gifts (pocket watches), bridesmaid gifts (matching but unique necklaces), pins for my hair and probably some things I'm forgetting about. The vendors are awesome and I feel like I'm counter balancing the big wedding industry... or at least it helps with wedding industry complex (WIC).

    The best deals I've found is through using my connections! A friend is DJing (matched the in house price, which is cheap compared to his normal price), we have our own bartender (he partially owns a bar in town), I went to HS with our photographer (no "deal" there but she already has great prices!), my mom and sister are awesome at paper things so they're helping with invitations, programs, etc. My aunt is doing my veil, bouquets and probably garter (she did a couple for my HS proms). My mom also rented our vases, marbles, votives and cupcake stands from a coworker! So so cheap!

    Another thing is to find a consignment shop near you. I got my dress half off the original price since it was a consignment. There is a store near my parents' house that has a lot of stuff for good prices too. Don't be afraid of used as long as it's in good condition!

    I've looked at Etsy but unfortunately most of the things I like are too expensive. I'll have to check out some of those links though and see if I find anything else I like!

    ETA: Oh, and we have a friend officiating too! We just have to get him ordained and of course give him a nice gift for doing this for us!

  • I agree on the Etsy comments, I love looking there! I've bought a few things but mostly I've seen a ton of ideas that I've put my own spin on and created myself! Thanks for the heads up on all the deals!! :) Can't believe we're getting so close!!
