Don't be this girl.

A girl from the UK was injured when a horse scurried out of control  and collided with other vehicles during a wedding ceremony.  Her dad decided that the best thing he could do was to push her out of the carriage without warning. It actually could have saved her life because she was hanging out and it was approaching a sharp bend. Her new plans entail being driven to the church – thank god! Full story here.

 DO decide on a theme. There are tons of ideas out there, and it is easy to get sidetracked. Deciding on a color, style, or theme before delving too far into your search can greatly help the confusion. Stay on target! Don’t shop at cheap stores! These places will often rip you off, or not deal in the type of quantities you will need. Thrift stores tend to also have a reputation of disorganized colors, late orders, or worse yet, the wrong items entirely! Don’t shop at wedding stores! These places will overcharge, and mark up seemingly low priced items, “reservation prices” or reject bulk discounts.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, and a wedding planner, these should be your last resort. Use the web. There are many websites out there that are easy to search through, can be narrowed by colors, type, and budget. While some will specialize in variety, others will excel in finding you the best price. Regardless of your choice of site, they will save you countless hours of trudging through catalogue after catalog of uninteresting, over-expensive wedding catalog, or trudging through the crowded isles of never-ending dollar stores. Don’t settle for the first favor you stumble upon. While there is something to be said for decisiveness, a good website will allow you to bookmark or email yourself a reminder link, while providing useful, similar item options to ensure you get the right favor for you. You can always start your wedding favors search now.
