Aww thanks, well I do have to say I'm a total bargain shopper so I'm constantly looking out for deals and buy nothing without it being on sale! Also, I started shopping for my gals about a year before my wedding so that gave me plenty of time to hunt for the best prices and capitalize on "season end" deals.
Let me see if I can run down my list and remember where I got everything...
1) bamboo bags $5.00 each (sale) -- those were from Target and I found em at the end of summer 08
2) day of clutches $6.00 each (sale) -- found these online at oldnavy.com and used a coupon to make it even cheaper
3) their wedding shoes - ranges from $18 to $32 each -- 6pm.com has great shoe deals, endless.com is another good one. shoes are always on sale on both sites.
4) wedding reception flip flops to match their dresses - $2.50 each (sale) -- another oldnavy.com deal they were 2 for $5 for metallic flip flops
5) beach wraps - got these for a ridiculous sale at $1.50 to $2 each -- this was an ebay special, i bought these in bulk and will be giving some away to the ladies attending the wedding. i compromised on pricing with the seller who just wanted to get rid of them
6) tank dresses $7 each (sale) -- another oldnavy.com special with a coupon!
7) body butters $1.50 each -- Target dollar spot, now that I think of it these were actually only a dollar a piece
8 ) palmer's cocoa butter lip balms $1 each (ebay) -- ebay, look for things in bulk
9) paying for half of their wedding day makeup/hair $35 each - yep I got a fabulous deal for a traveling hair/makeup artist! -- found her on project wedding, made a deal because i have a super huge wedding party!
10) deliciously scented candles $1.88 each (sale) -- pier one imports clearance sale
* thinking about getting pashminas for the gals too!!! -- still searching for these as well as garment bags, which a previous poster mentioned and I think is a great idea!!!
