Hey ladies (& gents)! Bridal Inquirer is happy to introduce you to Beau-Coup & Wedding Paper Divas newest joint venture…Resourceful Brides! And to kick it off in true recessionista style, they are sponsoring a contest in which one lucky bride (or groom) will win $1000 to purchase invitations and favors for all their guests! How awesome is that??? All you have to do is visit the site and submit the best money-saving wedding tip to be entered to win $1,000 in gift certificates from Wedding Paper Divas and Beau-coup! The deadline for submissions is Monday, July 20 at midnight, PST and the winning idea will be posted online on Friday, July 24.

Resourceful Brides is a great resource for the Recessionista Bride looking for money-saving tips in planning her wedding. My favorite tip so far…Favor Centerpieces: The average cost for a floral centerpiece is between $50 to $150. You can cut that cost altogether by creating “break-away” centerpieces out of your wedding favors. Simply arrange your favors on top of a decorative platter or cake plate and invite everyone at the table to take one home.  

(Bridal Inquirer is not affiliated with WPD/Beau-Coup/Resourceful Brides or this contest, just happy to share the awesomeness!)

Do these look familiar to you??? Yep…you guessed it! These were MY wedding invitations! Our colors were chocolate brown and granny apple green so we chose the “Vine” invitation suite from the Wedding Paper Divas Signature Collection, in chocolate….of course! We also included the matching RSVP and Direction Cards and followed up with the matching Thank You cards! We were very happy with our choice and even more happy that we were able to find beautiful invitations that didn’t break the bank!
