Flip Flops are a good way to encourage your guests to dance all night. We had a basket out on our dance floor and they were a huge hit as the ladies were so happy to ditch their heels for a pair.
I purchased ours through Old Navy for $1 a pair.

Wine Cork Place Card Holders
Wine corks make classy and unique place card holders for your wedding or any event.
The best part is you get to drink a lot of wine to save up enough corks. You can also order wine corks in bulk online. A quick Google search will pull up several retailers.
Although a bit time consuming they are a very easy DIY project.
All you need are:
- Wine corks
- Razor blade
- Sandpaper (60 grit)
- Start by cutting the bottom off the cork to give it a flat surface.
- Use sandpaper to smooth the surface.
- Cut a slit across the top of the cork in the center.
Bathroom Baskets
Bathroom Baskets are a nice touch on your wedding day allowing your guests to freshen up and look their best!
Below is a list of potential items to include:
- Shout wipes
- Spray deodorant
- Tums
- Lotion
- Safety pins
- Lint roller
- Cough drops
- Gum, mints
- Band aids
- Tissues
- Tylenol
- Floss
- Nail file
- Bobby pins, pony tail holders
- Tampons
- Hairspray
- Static guard
- Axe
- Mouthwash with individual cups
- Hairspray

Tips to save money on your dream wedding gown
When I first tried on my wedding gown I fell in love with it. Only problem is that it was in a bridal boutique and way out of my budgeted price range. However, I was not going to give up. I was determined to find my dream dress at a more reasonable price. I have heard that you can get discount designer wedding gowns online but I have also heard horror stories of fake, low quality dresses. I started researching the different online bridal shops that carried my dress.
After reading several reviews and making several phone calls, and a bit of a bidding war between the different shops, I purchased my dress through RK Bridal. They offer to beat your best price by 5% and they have an actual shop in New York City which helped ease my online worries.
When the dress came in it was beautiful and I was very happy with the quality and the price.
If you find a dress that you love don't give up if the price tag is out of your range. Most bridal shops are open to negotiating or selling you the sample gown at a lower price. I highly recommend checking out RK bridal as well. After all it is your day and you deserve to wear your dream gown!

Wedding Invitations
Welcome to my blog!
I am a former Do It Yourself (DIY) bride that had so much fun planning my own wedding that I decided to help others.
I hope that you find the information on my blog useful. Please visit my website for help with your invitations or any paper needs: www.lisaroebkedesign.com
I am very passionate about my work and as a result I am very flexible. If you are a DIY bride I would be happy to send you the design and provide you the guidance to prepare your own invitations or I can save you the time and trouble and print and assemble them for you.
You can use one of my existing designs and I can update the layout based on your wedding details or I can design something new and unique just for you.
If you are interested please contact me for a quote. I am looking forward to working with you!
Thanks,
Lisa Roebke
