Weekly Summary (February 1st-7th) & Frugal Weddings


Well, I was so wrapped up in wedding stuff (we sent out invites out on Monday - DIYed the fancy paper and ribbon on Sunday/Monday morning).

But first, I'm going to discuss how my frugal nature dressed up the very inexpensive wedding invites I ordered from Wedding Paper Divas. It came out to about $2 per invite/envelope and response card/envelope, which unfortunately is very cheap when it comes to invites. I bought $23 worth of fancy paper and ribbon to make them look much more expensive and we've already received compliments (the added pieces added a mere 30 cents per invite). Very worth it but it's left me a little (ok, a lot) exhausted.

So weekly update?

Monday, February 2nd Safeway: $47.89
Thursday, February 5th CVS: $17.15
Saturday, February 7th Safeway: $17.22

Total: 82.26 ($32.26 over, though this week will be significantly less)
