       I used this tutorial. I think my best flowers are the ones I used two pieces of paper.

       A fun wedding site is Offbeat brides. Tons of different ideas/ways to make paper flowers.

    I was a Marine Bride and when I found out about Church street Bridal I was amazed and thought about how many Brides could benefit from a place where Kleinfeld gowns are sold for extremely affordable prices. Please check out their blog. The proceeds go to support the YWCA and their goal to eliminate racism and empower women.

    I’m getting married next August. My mom LOVES your site, and she told me about the free save the dates you were advertising on here. My fiancee and I each ordered the maximum 100 (perfect since we are inviting 200 people). They just came in, and they are beautiful!! Thank you so much. We are both just starting out in our careers and trying to save as much money as we can, and your advice is so helpful. I’ll be checking this website a LOT in the coming months.

      There wasn’t an option for free STD magnets, as far as I could tell…the deal is just for postcards

    If your planning a wedding (which im doing and finding to be very expensive) there’s alot of things you can do to save money the one big one im doing is the flowers. At A.C Moore they will make your bouquets and everything for you and all you have to pay is for the supplies, well one thing to do is right now a.c Moore is having 50% all of there flowers and other things so this would be a great time to do it. I was able to get my flowers for everybody ( i have 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsman and mothers and fathers) I was able to get all my bouquets and mens flowers for just about $60 FOR all of them great deal so check out A.C Moore it would be a great way to save a ton of money.

    Hello,
    I tried ordering the 100 free ‘Save the Date’ postcards that you mention on your website and they’re charging me for them. I followed everything on your list. What should I do now?
