I just wanted to say thank you for writing Bridal Bargains! I've gotten a lot of helpful hints, and most importantly, I learned to "think outside the box." That is, whenever I came up with an idea that I wanted to use for the wedding, I tried to figure out a way to do it without having to purchase it from a "wedding place."
For instance, I am a college student and went to a career fair where most companies give out promotional items. These are typically pens, pencils, notepads, etc. One company gave out memo holders that look a lot like picture holders! I priced them as low as 1.09 per item. You can add pictures, text, and a wide variety of ink colors. The same items on any "wedding" website would have probably been at least $3.00 each!
