That is a steal....if I could find them around here like that I would pick them up for the entire group.... but stuck in Iowa and been shopping online... I will need to think outside the box on this one....

Jenetta- I totally agree. Any of you Cali or NY girls wanna hook a girl up? I'd be happy to pay you a little extra to pick up some pashminas for me...Or maybe we need to start doing some hardcore online research. There's gotta be somewhere to get these cheap...

oh my gosh I would love to pick up pashs for all you girls. I really don't think that there are websites that sell them that cheap. They are not so high-priced but if you get them for all your female guests it will get costly. I have no problems going to chinatown and getting pashs for anyone that wants, and then I'll ship them out to you. They pretty much have every color. I do have to warn you of the following though:

 

1. They are fake pashs. Will your guest care? I sincerely doubt it but I thought I would let everyone know.

2. While they are not real silk pashminas, they are a good quality. I have bought them before and I promise they are not crappy. But I did want to let everyone know so their not shocked when they get something that doesn't feel like the $150 ones they have at nordstrom.

3. Sometimes they don't sell bulk. So let's say you want blue ones, there may be like 7 blue ones, then 5 blue ones with designs on them, etc. So if all you really care about is the color and you are willing to mix-and-match this is a good bargain. But you figure most of your guests just want something to keep them warm in the breeze.

4. They are not returnable.

5. But there are tons of little shops so I can always buy some from one shop and some from others.

6. And the best part is that you can talk them down. So I'm sure if I offered to buy a lot we could get them for maybe $1.50 each. Maybe, I can't make any promises. But I am usually a good negotiator.

 

So if anyone wants me to get them for them just let me know.

I would be interested in dark pink ones if they have them. I will need 15 or so. We should get a group order toegther to make it the best deal for everyone. I think it would be nice to put in an OOT bag or drape over the chair at the reception. I am getting married in July and know it is hot then...will these still be needed that time of year

[Nrvsbride]

Sarah I am also planning to get married in early June. I am not sure of the weather but I am pretty sure it gets chilly at night all year round. I def think it's a nice gesture for guests. When you say dark pink do you mean fuschia or something else? Maybe I should start a thread with this and girls can post colors of the pics they want so I know exactly what to get.

Yeah dark pink like fushia - I am thinking about getting similar flowers to Karla's and using a deep pink, tnagerine and black color scheme.
