We have a guest, Marjorie, blogging today with wonderful ideas for your wedding that will help keep you within budget - inexpensive, yet beautiful all the same.
The Budget Bride
Congratulations! You’ve just become engaged and you’re dreaming of a
beautiful summer wedding. You find tons of information browsing Internet
wedding sites—but then, something takes your breath away. You read on
TheKnot.com, a popular wedding website, where newlyweds spent an average of
$28,427 on their wedding and related events in 2012. That’s way out of your
budget range. Can you have your dream wedding parties for a fraction of that
cost?
Party World (partywedding.com)
to the rescue! Yes, you can have an elegant wedding, engagement party,
bridal shower, and bachelorette party—on a budget. For 30 years, Party World,
a Tacoma-based family business, has helped hundreds of couples select elegant
invitations, decorations, centerpieces, tableware, and favors from its huge
collection of colors and styles for every budget and taste.

| Bulk Confetti |
This Tacoma-based wedding resource is available nationwide, through its
website at partywedding.com, where you can browse through wedding themes (such
as Western or seashore or butterflies) and color combinations (such as black and white, gray and yellow,
pink and brown) and get ideas for what is possible on a limited budget. At the
click of your mouse, you can order all of your wedding accessories, table decorations, invitations, catering
supplies, balloons, confetti, and
attendants’ gifts in whatever quantity you need. Shipping is free for
orders of $65 or more.
Corby Howell of partywedding.com is a great resource person if you have
questions or need ideas. As a first step, she says, browse the website’s
wedding section, and select a decorating theme and coordinating colors. Some of
the most popular themes have been Love
Birds, Vintage, Luau, Butterfly, Daisy, Beach, Red Wedding, Country Western,
and Calla Lily weddings, and ideas are
constantly being updated.
Many couples plan the wedding and parties around a color, the season of
the wedding, or the flowers (or snowflakes) appropriate to the season. You can
browse through all the color choices in tableware, accessories, and cake tops
to get ideas. There are also custom-made pew
bows in the color of your choice.
Corby notes that wedding and party accessories are available in ensembles, which generally include a
matching guest book, pen with holder, ring pillow, flower girl basket, and unity
candle. There are cake servers and knife sets, toasting glasses, and cake tops
that coordinate with the set as well. You will find lovely Burlap, Feathers, Butterfly,
Cowboy, Rose, Rustic ensembles, and many more to fit your theme or color
scheme.

| Bell and Dove Centerpiece |
Partywedding.com also has a wonderful selection of solid colors for tableware
and napkins to match any theme. One elegant touch is to choose custom-printed
napkins. You can find napkin printing
on the website, with excellent customer service. There are also coordinating table decorations for the reception and
parties with everything you need—table covers, table centerpieces, and confetti, as well as place cards and place card holders. To
complete the theme, chose hanging decorations, such as dangling cutouts, streamers, hanging centerpieces,
and balloons. Balloon bouquets are
very popular, and partywedding.com has a terrific selection.
Corby says: "Pre-wedding celebrations as well as the wedding and
reception create great memories and we enjoy helping to make them all special.
Helping customers is a priority and we will do all we can to fulfill their
needs." Call for assistance with ordering or for party ideas at

Thank you, Marjorie, for your encouragement and great ideas!
