Recommended Posts

Vistaprint= AMAZING.  I got all of the following for FREE!!!!   250 business cards- using for key card holders- only using 40 so if anyone is interested in the rest, please let me know! (Not personalized, just that cute poem "from beach chair to barstool...", background is palm trees/beach   100 postcards- used as welcome letter for OOT bags- will have extras, but we wanted to personalize with our names, so the rest will be wasted unfortunately    10 flat invitations - used as wedding day itinerary for bridesmaids   1 each: notebook, T-shirt, tote bag- personalized them all for my daughter, our flower girl    1 personalized rubber stamp   1 pad personalized sticky notes   All I paid is $10.56 for shipping (Canada). I tried getting free shipping but it kept bumping my postcards up to $18.  Omg you guys have to check it out!  The trick is to order each item in a separate link, they will all add to your shopping cart, but by doing it in separate links, the individual "free" promos work!  I got most of my links here: http://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/is-there-vistaprint-groupon-anywhere/f77a10ea826742ac.html    I am a happy bride right now :)  Kristen

If we need more, we'll be using up the extra space in my 8 year old neice's luggage....or just giving more stuff to other people (our best man and maid of honour are only coming for 4 days, so they won't have as much to bring down).

Hi All!

 

Just thought I would share some of my finds as well!

 

700

 

I found these sets of body cream and body wash - 6 in a box, on clearance at Walmart for like $2.00!! We ended up scratching off the names and the little kisses and putting our label on top of them - they turned out really nice! :)

 

700

I found these at The Shoe Company of all places!! They were on sale from the $15.99 - and when we bought the groomsmens sandals, we got bonus bucks that we could use on these. I think we ended up paying $4.99 for them - not bad for a pack of 7 - we ended up getting two packs of all different colours for all of the ladies.

 

I then found nail polish remover WIPES (individually wrapepd) at walmart in a box! Each lady will also get one wipe.

 

700

I found this at a local store that sells gifty things - it was a tumbler that had a decal on the inside of the cup. Unfortunately, our budget is limited - the cup was $15.99! It was just too cute NOT to share! :)

 

700

This blistex at dollarama has an SPF! Not all stores in my area have them, so you really have to look at all of the Dollarama's around you. 

 

700

Dollarama - canvas colour - kind of looks like a cake, if anyone is interested?

 

700

Walmart - these are smaller, like a travelling toiletry bag, but totally cute if you want to go that way with your OOT bags. :)

 

700

Avon - this was in the catalogue - might be cute?

 

700

These are the original totes we went with - found at Dollar Tree. It was literally the ONLY bag we could find. I was okay with them but didn't love the colours. We got a mixture of green blue, purple, pink and orange. I decided I wanted to try to exchange all of the different colours for just blue and green because of the designs I decided to go with for our OOT bag items....they were green and blue.

AND THEN....

 

700

We walked into a Dollar Tree and saw an Easter display with the same bags in easter colours....so I've since exchanged them all for these two colours which match PERFECTLY to my design and ribbon :)

700

This was our key holder design - we were having such a hard time finding lanyards - I ordered some from eBay and they got lost in the mail. :( So we tried searching and couldn't find anything. LUCKILY...my brilliant FI decided to ask his work if they had anything...it would have been printed with the company logo, but they ordered USBs which came with these straps...and they were just cutting them off!!!! What a waste! So, he brought them home, took the lanyards off and PRESTO! Free lanyards! WOOOO HOO! :)

 

That's all for now...good luck!

Finally found hand sanitizer in small containers for a reasonable price! The more I thought about the large ones, the more I wanted to look for the smaller size. The bags are filling up fast and I need to keep in mind that we're having to pack them with us!!

$1.25 for a 3 pack at Dollar Tree in St. Albert, AB

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
