So recently I have been thinking about all of the "finer" details in regards to the wedding. Unfortunately we were unable to order place cards that matched our wedding invites :( Just like any other stationery item, these little pieces of card seemed to be quite expensive. I had my eye on some really nice silver place cards located at a wedding shop in Maroochydore. While we were up there a few months back on holidays we decided to stop into the store. Unfortunately they didn't have any in stock and I was so disappointed. But not disheartened, I decided to order them from their online store. I was half expecting an email or phone call to say they didn't have any in stock, but the order went through fine. I managed to get them for a bargain price - a pack of 15 was only $2.75 :DJust as I was leaving the drive way this morning, a courier arrived with a package. I was super excited to check to see if they had sent the correct ones! Upon opening the packet I was pretty impressed. They looked 100 times better than they had on the website- the little piccy didn't do them justice. I am very pleased with my little Internet bargain!
On another note, I had been umming and ahhing over what do to on completion of our ceremony. A lot of places these days have banned things like rice and confetti for obvious reasons, and it seems like most people are doing the rose petal thing. Don't get me wrong, the rose petal throwing is gorgeous, but I just want something different. Anyways, after doing a bit of googling, it looked like bubbles may be an option. I didn't want to get my hopes up just in case they were out of our budget. So as usual, I jumped onto good ol' eBay. Most of the results seemed to be those short stubby bottles of bubbles and they just weren't doing it for me. I kept on looking and came across "bubble tubes" - now these are more my style! eBay had pulled through yet again! I managed to score 72 tubes of bubbles for only $40 bucks including postage w00t! I even thought of tying a little bit of ribbon around the top to dress them up a little.
I popped into the local $2 shop this afternoon as I am on the hunt for something I can display the tubes in. I managed to find these great little cube vases which would look really nice with a bit of olive green ribbon tied around them! When I have a little bit more cash I will definitely be grabbing those.
I almost forgot...I must stress that all bubble blowing will not be in my face, I don't think it would be very attractive if I got a bubble in the eye!!!
I guess the point I am trying to make...eBay is a Brides Best Friend!
