Cheap way to package gifts
Posted by: None on: June 28, 2009
I found this project on the Wedding Bistro at Bellenza and thought that this was a cool and budget-friendly way to do packaging. I mean how easy is it to find newspapers and magazines as your materials for this project. And who doesn’t have scissors. Just get a bottle of Mod Podge from Michael’s. A bottle costs less than $3 bucks! I luv this idea — so cool and easy! Check it out. I think it’s a great way to package wedding gifts if you are trying to be eco-friendly.

I’m back!
Now that Easter is almost right around the corner, it’s time to get candy! From my trip to the Target store, I have a feeling that candy will be on sale soon. And for those brides looking to save on candy like robin’s egg chocolates, chocolate bunnies, and M&Ms in pastels, be on the look out for these sales! I think they start going on sale as early as Sunday itself. Here are some other places where I think sales will be going on: CVS, RiteAid, and even try the 99 cent stores.

Practical, I say. Here is the link: http://fashion.about.com/od/specialoccasions/tp/formals100.htm
Moreover, many retailers are now offering great discounts, since times are bad and Christmas is just around the corner. So, you should be able to find some good deals out there.
