How to Save Money on Your Wedding Accessories
Congratulation! You've said "yes" and you're planning your walk down the aisle.
Now what? How about your budget? Not as much as you'd like? In this economic climate many brides are concerned about the very thing: "How can I have the wedding of my dreams without going bankrupt?" Well, there's good news.
There are plenty of things you can do to still have your fairytale wedding (or Las Vegas, or Hearts, or French, or Damask...
whatever your theme may be) and stay within your budget.
Programs Do-it-Yourself (often referred to as DIY) programs are sweeping the industry.
In fact, DIY everything is becoming more and more popular, hence having its own acronym (see, everything is condensed these days)...
DIY Program Kits come with everything you need (other than the computer, printer, and ink) to create your own one-of-a-kind handout for your guests.
They even come with their own handle to make them into fans (even in the fall and winter, a crowded room can get stuffy).
They also come with a CD ROM to get you started.
Choose the templates provided or create your own masterpiece by inserting photos, text, print, colors, anything you can think of! Simply print them out at home and voila! You can plan accordingly and save money by not having them printed professionally and adding programs to your invitations order.
Not to mention the added personal touch of creating them yourself and adding your own photos or patterns.
Ceremony and Reception Accessories You shouldn't have to give up beautiful accessories just to save a few bucks.
Your ring bearer pillow, unity candle, flower girl basket and guest book aren't only functional and necessary, but they're decorative keepsakes as well.
Your darling little ring bearer wouldn't be the same without the pillow.
Where would your flower girl keep her petals? How would you know who was there to share your special day long after without being able to pull out your guest book and read through it? Your first anniversary wouldn't be the same without pulling out your "first toast" flutes to remember the big day! Many of these details come in "collections", meaning you can get everything at once.
This "one-stop-shop" saves you money in several ways.
Fist, there's usually a discount for the set.
Buying each individual piece individually usually comes out to be more than buying everything as a set.
The other benefit to buying everything as a set is that it will match.
You won't have to spend time and money shopping around putting pieces together, hoping it will look right and hoping that you didn't overlook a piece.
Everything comes together and is sure to look fantastic! Also, when you "one-stop-shop" from the same website, you'll save money in shipping.
Put everything together in one larger order and you'll save by not continuing to order that one last piece you forgot.
Often times there are sales and specials as well, saving you money when you lump everything together.
Decorations Decorations can also come in matching sets that save you time and money.
Bundles that include both a table runner and a dance floor decal for your reception or one that features a personalized aisle runner and banner for your ceremony help you to set the stage for your big day, without having to have a big wallet.
It's so easy to select your theme and color, and at the click of a button you have everything covered! Your time is worth a lot too.
The time you save shopping for your accessories is time you can spend on the other details.
With the time and money you save by purchasing collections and grouped together in bundles, as well as easy Do-it-Yourself programs, you can enjoy your wedding without the worry and stress!
