Countdown

I love a good bargain.

Ok. I'm trying to be the happy, perky bride and do the small talk stuff when people ask about wedding details. I'm not going to lie though. I'm sick of it. I'm so tired of my head hurting from all the details. For any of you out there thinking that a small wedding is easier, it's not. There's still an insane number of details to deal with and plans to make. The happiest day of my life will be November 20. That will be the day I wake up married to the best man in the world and the first day I don't have to think about wedding plans. I'm obviously missing that gene that every other woman in the world has that just makes you want to plan a wedding from the day you're born.



I decided to stick to doing everything black and white. I like it because it's classy and chic. Last week I placed an order for our napkins only to receive an email telling me that the black napkins were on backorder....yada yada yada. Seriously? Backordered napkins? Not wanting to risk having to run out the day of the wedding to buy napkins and receive 200 napkins with our names on them the day AFTER the wedding, I cancelled the order and started my search again. I have always loved anything monogrammed and I've seen a lot of napkins in various stores with a "J" already on them but they're always black and ivory...not white. I loved this style though. (Side note: Have I already typed two paragraphs about napkins? God help me.)



Anyway, I totally lucked up today. FINALLY something good happened with the wedding plans. I found black and white napkins in the pattern I wanted. That's not the best part. They were $0.60 a pack. That's 60 CENTS y'all!


I also found some acrylic goblets (wine glasses) on the same site for $1.55! How insane is that? These are the same glasses I found in a store in Monroeville and I wanted for the wedding but they were all out of J's. They are beautiful in person and I didn't even realize they were acrylic in the store until I picked them up.

After I placed my order, I realized they had some acrylic tumblers with a J on them as well for $1.55 and I'm regretting not ordering those now for our everyday glasses. Oh well.

I just had to share the site with all of you in case you like a good deal too. The site is http://www.initialboutique.com/ . Let me know what kind of deals you find!!
