In the past we have written about incorporating hashtags into your wedding from start to finish. Today we move on to Snapchat geofilters. Truthfully, creating great custom wedding geofilters is not an easy DIY. We think this is one of those things you should seriously consider outsourcing just like you outsource your photography and your flowers and even your hair and make-up. It is definitely worth a little extra money and innumerable saved hours to purchase a professional wedding geofilter. So when we found these geofilters on Etsy, we had to share! This might very well be the answer to our geofilter dilemma. Continue Reading →
With so many decisions to be made during the course of planning a wedding too often the welcome bag is left to the last minute and then the whole process can get a bit overwhelming. Chances are your first stop is Pinterest – we know ours is. Once there, we inevitably fall victim to what we like to call Pinterest envy. OMG everything is stunning and every little detail is addressed in a chic & stylish way. But then we start pricing out all those details and after all is said and done some of those “little bags” filled can cost upwards of $50.00 each. We don't know about you, but the thought of spending $5000 on 100 welcome bags seems insane. Plus, we are not huge fans of plastering the bride and grooms face on every water bottle and mint tin but rather prefer to choose one signature item and make that item special – think welcome to our wedding weekend Minibooks™ cards!

We want to remind you PartyIdeaPros.com is here to help you with anything you might possibly need for your big day. We receive hundreds of promotional offers each and every day and do not want to litter the site with banners and short lived deals that don't apply to where you are in the wedding planning process but we do want you to know that when you are ready to purchase your invitations, favors, cocktail napkins, escort cards, table numbers, welcome bags, bridesmaid and flower girls gifts, or any of the many other little details that taken together create the perfect celebration, drop us an email asking if we know of any current deals. Seriously, we will search our databases and call our contacts to see if there are currently any deals to be had or if anyone is planning to offer significant discounts in the near future.
For example, next Tuesday and Wednesday, The Knot Wedding Shop is hosting their annual napkins event. For 2 days only The Knot will be offering their customers the following deals so even if you aren't currently thinking about ordering your cocktail napkins next week you might decide to take advantage of the savings now.
Similarly if you are in the market for thank you notes, PartyIdeaPros.com will have access to an exclusive Tiny Prints promotional code for 40% off Thank You Cards all day Monday, February 24, 2014. If interested, email us and we will email you back a link to the promotional code.

And finally, if you are planning your honeymoon, we are constantly being barraged by our travel merchants with amazing limited time deals on fabulous getaways. Email us if you would like us to forward you offers on any particular destinations.
We are also more than willing to source your Pinterest Board. Although we do ask that you edit your board to include ideas you are seriously contemplating – i.e. Harry Winston diamond engagement rings are probably not in your budget (are you listening Izzy?).
I happened to be poking around The Knot this morning especially interested in checking out their escort card ideas and by chance came across this lovely bridesmaid gift – a simple black clutch filled with survival kit essentials. I loved everything about it except maybe the bright teal initials but turns out that is an easy fix — either click the “do not personalize” option or have each bridesmaid's initials embroidered in black thread. Black on black is always timeless and elegant. I promise you, each and everyone of your bridesmaids will still be using this classic clutch 30 years from now.

Best yet and completely coincidentally, before I even had time to post this, I received an email from The Knot announcing their 2 Day sale!
