Websites for DIY materials!

[KathyandJer]

Would be nice to have a thread with great websites that people have found (especially with great prices!)

carolinalady67 got some tulle at a good price from this website (efavormart.com (http://www.efavormart.com/index.asp))... and when Jer and I went there, we found disposable cameras at the best price we've seen yet including looking at wholesale sites! (less than $4.00 each...and great deals for quantity discounts!)...and a great deal on votive holders ($0.58 each when you buy 72)...and votive holders with candles included ($0.80 each! when you buy 46)!

Also, their S&H charges are VERY reasonable (unless you're just ordering one thing :lol:) - $4.95 flat rate shipping!

Jer ordered 1 camera last night - we're going to use it when we're together the end of this month and develop and see the quality of the pictures :)

The votive prices were via eBay. :)

[KathyandJer]

I stand corrected :P But the efavormart.com has an even better deal (not too many colour choices though) - 12 candles with holders for $8.99 (approx. $0.75 each!)

I got my paper for my invitations at http://www.envelopemall.com/. The only annoying thing about them is they don't have an online ordering form so you have tl call or fax them. They were good about sending free samples to see colors too.

My invite materials come from www.mountaincow.com. They have such awesome colors and combos there and the prices are SUPER cheap. I love 'em! :)

I got 72 clear votive holders at www.cudge.net (http://www.cudge.net) for $28 (that's with shipping included). You can get votive holders with candles in them. They have white frosted, clear and 6 other colors to choose from.

I actually found the best prices for candles to be at Wal-Mart. They carry boxes of 1 dozen unscented votive candles in clear holders for $4.97/box. That equates to $0.41 for the holder with the candle, and no shipping to pay. I know that's not actually a web site, but I thought it was worth mentioning nonetheless. :o

If you're DIYing any of your stationary, I highly recommend www.paperandmore.com (http://www.paperandmore.com). They have excellent prices on paper and envelopes, and the turn around time is very quick.

What a great idea for a thread! I'm subbing! :)

with all this invite talk I must post up www.cardsandpockets.com. They sell pocketfolds so that you don't have to make them, and they use nice quality paper so it actually works out to be cheaper than making the pocketfold yourself (unless you use a cheap paper like tagboard or posterboard). Plus Beckii is awesome, call her up and inquire about any deals they may have. Normally a pocketfold is a dollar each, but I bought some discontinued ones they had for $.75 each.

Definitely worth mentioning!

Jer and I also saw a similar deal at Hobby Lobby - $4.97 for 12 candles in clear holders - and they have 40% off coupons to download/print. Uhhh, just don't forget to take the coupon off of the printer before you leave :sigh:

We don't have a Hobby Lobby anywhere near here! :( I sure do miss that store.

I found another web site, thanks to Lori. She got her STD magnets at www.vistaprint.com (http://www.vistaprint.com), and they look great! I recommend signing up for their e-mails. I just got a promotional offer on the magnets, and I'll be getting 50 magnets for about $12 with shipping! :jump4joy:

Update on this site - we used the disposable camera from efavormart on vacation - took pictures at the reception site...as well as outdoors and at home...and there is a very SLIGHT quality difference between the disposable... and 2 very nice cameras (canon i'm-not-sure-what-one, and a pentax MZ-4)!!! Double :aok: from me about efavormart.com (http://www.efavormart.com/index.asp)!
