No Foolin' it's as easy as Click, Add, Buy!

Sometimes a brides gotta do what a brides gotta do. As I mentioned in my last post, I had high hopes for creating many DIY elements for my wedding. Some things I just didn't have time for, but I didn't want to give up on having some of these details-- so I did the next best thing to DIY... I DDIY (didn't do it myself!) and decided to knock some things off my list by purchasing them from around the web! It really was as easy as click, add, buy!

Take for example these beauties from For Your Party:




With just a click of a button, I had personalized napkins and coasters . No Fuss No Muss.
I originally had plans to hand-stamp napkins and coasters with my Gocco , but that would've taken time wouldn't it? The fine people at For Your Party have a section called
"Grab and Go" that makes it easy to buy ready-made products, and not have to make any more decisions on color, type style, blah blah blah...

I also was obsessed with the idea of having wooden signs pointing guests this way and that! Here is a picture of one of the signs I bought from the lovely SignsByDiane seller on Etsy. Once again, I could have easily picked up some wood from the hardware store and painted the letters on myself, but why would I when this sign was exactly what I was looking for:

Ladies, instead of slaving away on your latest project, why not see if its already made and available from crafty gurus around the web. You may find just what you are looking for. And with all the time you are saving, you could be doing more important things like playing dress-up in that gorgeous dress of yours! After all, a bride needs her sanity and instant gratification is so much more fun!

Happy Hunting!
