Wedding Wise Wednesday – June 3rd

Six Great Deals for the Sixth (and most wedding-licious) Month of the Year:

Hit the Books:

It’s summer but you’re getting married in November, where do you find magazines with tips for the fall? One of my clients reminded me of a great resource – hit the library. They have all Bridal magazine back issues that you’ll need.

The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects for Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding

This is a great book for all you DIY-ers out there. Not only are there pictures, not only does it tell you how long every project will take, no, not only does it tell you which can be done by yourself or by someone else, or which ones you should throw a party for to get done, BUT you can buy it on Amazon.com used for less than $7.00. Not bad, since it retails for $20. Several copies are available, even. Just click on the title above.

Table Numbers and Wine Labels. I love the idea of having wine bottles be your tables numbers, too. Got to love the elimination of a process.
