A Trip to Joann's


So after I got off of work today I went to the Joann's Fabric store to get some samples of my wedding colors. I went to a website that wanted $10 for one color and I got five colors for $2.30 plus tax. I have the blue included in this sample because I did see some bridesmaid dresses in that color that looked really cute. I'm just not ready to rule it out yet.







After I got my fabrics I decided to look around the store and saw that they had invitation kits. Here are two that I really liked. This first one is nice because of the dried flowers and it has the orange for the wedding but the bow is yellow. Would have been perfect if the bow was pink.









I like the second invitations because they are simple but still cute. Both were the same price so if I were to pick one I would go with the one above. I like the idea of making your own invitations because I want to save as much money as possible and don't mind DIY projects as long as someone a little bit more creative is around to help me. I have some other websites that I need to check out that are pretty inexpensive and have online coupons you can use to get great deals on packages (save the dates, shower invities..etc)

One little jewel I did find were some invitations to the bachlorette party. The have this cute little three foot section of items for bachlorette parties and I found these on clearance. They were only $2.97 for twelve invities that you can download the template for and print them yourself. They are pink with black polka dots and at the top it says "Girls Night Out" and has two martini glasses in pink. Even if they don't get used for me I just couldn't pass up the deal. I definately want to go check out Michaels too and see what kind of things they have for weddings. I am still trying to find a cute pink wedding planner that I can put quotes, business cars, fabric samples, etc. I just might have to make my very own.
