Do It Yourself Wedding: Dollar Tree

Every girl wants to have a magical, unforgettable wedding, but in current economic times, paying for that wedding can be a burden. However, there are a lot of DIY (do it yourself) projects that can be done to save money on your wedding. A great place to find items for weddings is Dollar Tree. A bride that I just planned a wedding for bought all the plates and vases for the reception from Dollar Tree. It was actually cheaper to buy 130 plates than it was to rent them. Now you ask what would you do with 130 plates after the wedding? Sell them on Ebay of course! 

Dollar Tree has a special section just for weddings! There are many craft items that you can buy there to make centerpieces and add other touches to your decorations without spending a lot of money. No guest will be able to tell that you got these at a dollar store!! Why not save a buck and put that money towards a house or the honeymoon?!

Other stores to keep in mind are Goodwill and any thrift shops. You never know what treasures you could find!

  1. Great post! With today's economy, everyone is looking for a way to stretch their dollar. Brides, wedding planners, party planners--they all want the most bang for their buck, but they also want a quality look and feel. Just because something was bought at a cheap price, doesn't mean it has to look cheap!
