Wedding Wise Wednesday – February 9, 2011

Every Wednesday I bring you the best wedding stories, events and deals in Los Angeles and around the web. And we call it Wedding Wise Wednesday. Welcome!

Cool Wedding Thing of the Week: There’s a reason why I love writing for the Broke Ass Bride – because Dana comes up with cool articles like this: The Top Five FREE Valentine’s Day Treats for a Broke Ass Couple. Do yourself a favor and sign-up for her weekly newsletter, too.

And if you’re at the point of wondering what you should give your guests when they check into the wedding hotel, Boston.com breaks it down for you.

The Deals:
The Knot Shop has a great coupon this week – $10 off your purchase of $50 or more, with the Code BEMINE50. I like this Save the Date Card they have, and it will only add an extra $100 to your budget. Free Three Day Shipping with the code FREESHIP, too.

MyWeddingFavors has Monogrammed notepads that are perfect as bridesmaid gifts, or just something to keep in your purse…for only 75 cents each. Thanks to Bronze Budget Bride for the find.

The Wedding Shoppe – Personalized Wedding Cake Postage Stamps, like, with your names on them. $16 for a roll of 20, even less if you buy in bulk. Which you’re going to have to.

Style Unveiled is offering a Free Fingerprint Tree Download on the site. Guest book sign-in alternative for the Win! Be sure to get the “inkless” ink – all you have to do to get it off is rub your fingers together.

This is my favorite from the Broke-Ass Brigade Newsletter: Greenvelope.com is celebrating the launch of their innovative electronic invitation service, and offering Broke-Ass Masses an exclusive 25% off their packages, with the discount code brokeassbride.

So, which deals are you going to take advantage of? And don’t forget to let me know if you want tickets to the Bridal Show!

See you at the end of the aisle,
