Themed weddings awaken our imagination. It’s like playing dress up except all the smiles, laughter, and tears are real. Â Â This year, 1920’s “Gatsby” themed weddings with art deco decor and pearl necklaces are all the rage. If you are not jumping on that bandwagon, here are our five of our favorite wedding themes.
Did you know the average wedding costs $28,000! Here are five money saving tips to help you stay under budget:
1. Engraved invitations can cost over $700. Save 85% by sending digital invitations. (See our wedding invitations)
2. Save at least 30% on reception costs by serving lunch or brunch instead of dinner.
3. Save over $1000 by hiring a DJ instead of a band.
4. Save over $700 by making homemade gifts and favors
5. Save over $2000 by serving family-styled meals
Here’s a bonus tip: Dress casual and drive to flower shop in an old car. Florists seem to charge you less when you’re not looking like a million bucks.

Turn your bartender into a botanist with herb-infused cocktails. Pair gin with cucumbers, tequila with sage, fresh fruit with mint julep, and basil leaves in everything. Perfect for a woodland wedding?
The holidays are a very popular time for couples to get engaged. With that in mind, we’ve been working with our designers to create an extensive collection of Save the Date announcements that feature you and your fiancé. It’s increasingly en vogue (ooh la la!) to send engagement announcements and save-the-dates that include images. Now you can easily share our beautiful designs and your own style with friends and family to let them mark that very special date.
