How fun! Here are a few ideas…
1. You could add a chiffon stick-on bow – simple, elegant, affordable.

2. You could add clear or colored rhinestones.

3. You could wrap the card in a 3/8″ or 5/8″ satin ribbon and tie a knot, a bow, or simply wrap the card.

4. You could visit your local craft store, and find a stamper and ink pad, or patterned backer cards.

I am hand-making all my invitations. I need an embellishment idea, cheap to put on a royal blue card square. I do not want hearts if preferable. Any ideas, and where I can get it?

We have a blue/white theme x

Love makes you do unselfish and unexplainable things. Love makes you a better person. Love changes you into the person you were born to become. Love – and Isaac – are changing me into the woman I was destined to become. Isaac and I started to officially date at the beginning of October 2010. We had spent three weeks in the innocent beginnings of a relationship, learning how to fit in his arms when we curled up on the couch, balancing our relationship with our groups of friends, and reveling in the moments of getting to know the other person on a more intimate level.
Three weeks after we started dating I felt very sick and drove myself to the emergency room. Upon getting to the ER I had a massive seizure that lasted for several minutes. Within a short time my room was filled with doctors and nurses working four hours to discover the cause of the seizure and to stabilize me. Isaac and two other friends had to sit outside of my room praying and hoping that things would turn around. My family was called to come from out of state. Eventually I was placed on a ventilator and was in a coma. For two days I was unconscious in the ICU with family and friends constantly flowing in and out of my room. The person that stayed closest to my side was Isaac. When I came out of the coma, I was still groggy and unaware of much of what had transpired over the past few days. But Isaac came running into my room and flung his arms out with a smile covering his face. He yelled, “You’re awake!” And then he bent down and gave me our first kiss. Although I’m told our first kiss happened while I was in the coma.
Isaac could have walked away during those days. He chose to stay. He chose me. And when I woke up, I chose him. I fell in love with him the moment I woke up from my coma. One night he lay beside me on the hospital bed and we each whispered “I love you” for the first time. A promise exchanged in the still of the darkness, solidified by the knowledge that life was too unpredictable to wait to tell each other the most important thing in the world.
One year later, Isaac presented me with a book he had made of our journey together. He had spent hours putting together letters we had exchanged, journal entries he had written about us, pictures of us in the hospital, getting EEG testing after the hospital, at weddings, and pictures of the year as recovery progressed. He wrote our love story in that book, and promised to love me through recovery, through the inevitable difficult times, and through the exciting times. As he slipped the ring on my finger, I could only laugh and cry and hug him. Now we are just excited to spend the rest of our lives together, to live to be 100 together, to share in each others dreams and passions, and to build a life together. Life may not always be easy, but we will always have each other. And we will always have our love.

One thing I am finding out is that even though DIY projects may be a lot of fun, they are not always the cheapest idea. If you are trying to keep your expenses at a minimum make sure you look around before you try to DIY. Not only can some projects take up a lot of time that can be used elsewhere, some supplies can also be expensive and you may never use them again! Weigh your options before you commit to a DIY project!

I am a researcher at heart… but flowers scare me. We are doing silk for centerpieces but I am scared to find out what arrangements for bridal party, food tables, cake table, bar, aisle, etc. will come out too. What kind of floral advice do you have since you got such a reasonable deal?… Where?

Use your friends! I have found so many hidden talents in my friends and friends of friends that only came about when speaking of wedding planning. You never know what someone has done in a past life that would be perfect help!

Don’t be afraid to pit travel agencies against one another. I saved $50 per person on our honeymoon vacation because I compared one’s prices to others in town.

Etsy.com is such a great website. Its sort of like ebay but better Its all handmade stuff so its guaranteed unique. There is sooo much wedding stuff on there from the big stuff to the tiny details. And its friendly for every budget. Many sellers can do custom orders too! I sell jewelry on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/lushlifeart but there is seriously everything u could think of to complete your wedding on the site. There are bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses that are fashioned after high end designers at a “normal person” price. Most of the designers are fashion/art students or graduates w/ the degrees.

Don’t be afraid to try to negotiate and get a customized package with exactly what you want instead of paying for extras that you don’t! With our reception food package (I’m a vegetarian, so we didn’t want to pay for all the meat options in a typical package), photographer, and videographer, we are getting customized packages to meet our specific needs and I’ve been surprised at how willing they are to provide this. (Though I’m sure not all businesses are as flextible, but it can’t hurt to try).

I just did a lot of research and asked my co worker who’s daughter got married a couple of months ago a lot of questions. Don’t be afraid to cut coupons for places like “Joanne Fabric”, ” Hobby Lobby” and “Micheals”. Everything I have gotten I have not paid full price for and i’ve saved my parents, fiance and myself hundreds of dollars.
