Check out this deal I picked up from TJMaxx. Martha Stewart Crafts – tissue paper pom pom kit. Makes 4 smaller / 3 larger beautiful, fluffy pom poms all for $4.99. They are listed on the Martha Stewart site for almost $19! I bought both of the ones they had at the Grand Avenue location in downtown Milwaukee, but TJMaxx usually has the same type of inventory throughout their locations in the area. (I bought vases for my wedding centerpieces by going to various locations).

Wedding Thank You Cards – Personalized Photos
By · Leave a Comment
I’ve used Walgreens for ordering photo cards on numerous occasions. This would be a great option for personalized thank you cards. They have options to create cards that you could write a personalized note in, or simple photo cards that would have a general message that would be the same for everyone.

Do It Yourself Wedding Flowers
By · Leave a Comment
Last month, I undertook a most fortuitous task. I did my own wedding flowers. You see, I live in a rural part of the country and was having a wedding far from the city lights and most florists. I did locate a city florist willing to drive 3 hours to setup my wedding flowers for my special day, but 2 weeks before the actual event, my florist called to tell me the florist business was being closed due to the poor economic environment and needed to cancel our arrangement. I then frantically tried locating another florist but to no avail.
