No bubbles, please.

Need an alternative to bubbles, rice, or birdseed?

Here it is.

Jaclyn and Kevin had party blowers for their guests instead. Genius.

pay it forward.

Today I met up with a knottie who had offered over 140 sparklers at no cost. They were leftovers from her wedding, and she didn't want them to go to waste.

What a nice sentiment, to help a fellow bride on a budget out.

So peeps, reuse + reduce + recycle your wedding swag. And you too, will put a smile on some other bride's face. :)

Sparkler Sendoff

If you're trying to minimize costs (I am! I am!), then consider the idea of combining orders with other brides.

Often, you can get better deals through ordering wholesale. The only catch is that you usually need to order and bulk. And you may not need 288 of those 20" sparklers you love so much.

So make some contacts, some online bridal friends, and split the order!
