Sunday Brunch: SATC Edition "Will You Be My Bridesmaid?"

Happy Sunday Budget Brides!

We hope all of you are having a great weekend. While searching Etsy.com for some budget friendly ideas we came across these great "Will You Be My Bridesmaid/Maid of Honor?" stationary cards that pay homeage to the ladies from Sex and The City. Since the weekend is usually the time when most of us meet up with our girlfriends we thought it would only be fitting to create this post. Below you can find a few images of the cards, if you like them click through to Artsharyne's Etsy Shop for $3.00 & under a piece.

We thought that this Bridal Shower invitation was great as well.

The Wedding Main Street

I stumbled upon this vendor on Ebay called The Wedding Main Street and I was so impressed by the creative thought that went into this product. I just had to introduce this company to all of my Budget Brides. The Wedding Main Street is a company that creates cardboxes, centerpieces and guestbook sets. What makes me so excited about this product is that it puts a new spin on the way that couples can collect their wedding cards. Some people choose to use birdcages or money bags but this is a way to better coordinate the idea with your wedding color scheme. I pulled two of my favorite pieces from their collection.

This Tiffany Box with Engagement ring is the perfect centerpiece at a bridal shower or a Tiffany-themed wedding.
