In todays economy we are running across a lot of "Do It Yourself" (DIY) Brides. These are the brides that like to find ways to lesson the blow of the wedding expenses. If you have the time to "DIY" on a few tasks, it can end up saving you quite a bit of money. We love finding new designers on Etsy. Belletristics is a design shop online where you can get many items from customized monograms to wedding invitations. They send you the file so you can either print them on your home computer or send to a professional printer. How easy is that?!

Spoon Invite via Brown Turtle Neck Sweater

"Why the spoon," you may ask? Today we are all about planning a party, planning a date with your significant other or just planning a night out with your girlfriends before your big day. Sur La Table offers cooking classes of all types at their location on Travis and Knox. Not only do they offer fun cooking classes, they have a store full of goodies you'll need to fill your new kitchen with.

We love Sur La Table because they host you! It is a perfect place for a shower for your wedding.

Click here to see the current schedule. ....and back to the spoon, the simplicity of the spoon as an inviation caught my eye. You could use it as an invite for a shower (although mailing might be difficult but you could mail it in a box) or you could give it to your fiance' or best friend as a date night invite. Simple...Elegant!
