We also got some nice wedding decorations that were used once but really cheap on craigslist. We got nice stuff for the bridal shower, and then an unused guestbook on craigslist. It worked well, and we sold the favors recently on craigslist. The stuff is nice, but there’s no need to hold onto 200 seating card holders.

My wife liked it, but I think it was silly to spend so much money on a room that we spent only 8 hours in. We were suppose to check in at midnight, but we stayed at our party until 2am. I remember that we were shown to our room, which was a normal looking hotel room. We also had to check out the next morning, and because of our flight, we didn’t stay for breakfast. The staff was nice, but I would have rathered stayed at some hotel that didn’t cost almost $200 a night.
we used a wedding site to get the message of our wedding date out to most of our friends. It was 50% helpful. I think we spent a lot of time getting it ready, picking pictures and deciding what we would write. There was a lot of pressure to have a nice website. This is good for someone who wants to spend time making something nice. It is a nice option, and it was nice for me and my wife to spend time together talking about wedding stuff.

This is a great place to have a fun day out. We chose this place rather than a regular restaurant for the rehearsal dinner because we wanted to have lots of fun with our friends. Also, many of our close friends have kids and wouldn’t be able to stay the whole night at the wedding party. We prebooked tickets, and we were able to go on all the rides. This waterpark is very clean, and I have been going here for over 20 years and it’s always a fun place. There are places to get changed, sit and dry, eat, or have a picnic. You can also stay overnight here, which makes sense.

They are a regular clothing store, but they have a great selection of high end men’s clothing. The sales people who work there are always nice. I liked that I was able to go in and get a really great suit, with new socks and underwear, and they save money on my purchase by getting a Macy’s card. We also registered at Macy’s and I think we got some really nice things from the store.

Great selection, and I felt very comfortable in the store. I did not need an appointment, and then they helped me find a ring in my budget. The salesperson who helped me, Steve, knew lots about diamonds and what styles were popular. They had lots of different styles to choose from. They also offer good guarantees, which is important.

My wife’s idea was to make the invitations to save money. Once I saw how much invitations were at printing stores, I agreed that spending $100 on supplies would be much cheaper. It was really easy. Micheal’s has a bridal section, with a bunch of invitation kits to choose from. They also had lots of favors, and we could have spent lots of money in there. They also had nice blank invitations in another section of the store. We choose the middle of the road kit, about $1 a card. It was a good deal.

We booked the rooms at the last minutes, about one month before the wedding. The manager was great. She gave us one room free, and all the rooms were very clean. I appreciated that she also didn’t ask for a deposit of 50%. The Days Inn let us reserve the rooms until one week before the wedding, and then those rooms that weren’t picked up were unblocked. I think it was a great deal, and we didn’t have to pay for the rooms that weren’t taken.

The flower arrangements we say at florists were really expensive, so we decided to make them ourselves. We were shopping for centerpieces, and my sister found over 20 big glasses vases on sale. She bought the vases, then rocks, and then some other garden supplies, and made really beautiful arrangements. Because the items she chose were on clearance, she paid 80% less than what they were originally selling for. I think if you can find the stuff you want on sale, it is worth making yourself.

My sister was the only bridesmaids, so I went with her and my wife to look at bridesmaids dresses. She wanted a dress at Express, and I have never been in a store that I hated more. The salespeople ignored us, either because they were understaffed and it was a Saturday, or because they’re suppose to ignore the customer. They sell casual and formal clothing, and some of the dresses were nice, but many of their outfits were over the top sexy, and I think some of the dresses looked cheap. It’s not the sort of thing I would want my wife or sister wearing. She did find a nice dress after two hours, but I think there are better stores.
