bargains on ebay
I've checked out ebay for Wedding gowns before, but never thought to look for stuff like bubbles, invite kits, ribbon, etc. But they have that stuff there really cheap!
Besides private sellers, there are often retailers selling cheaply online as well. Check out these ebay shops:
Bridal Online
They have bubbles in boxes of 100 for $44.95 (postage plus $10-$15), 100 crystal clear cello bags for $2.95, sets of 5-6 hair pins for $9.95, and 6m of 'Wedding car ribbon' from 99 cents to about $2.95. I think these prices are good - especially for the bubbles which I've seen for $1.00 per bottle.
Cupids Weddings
The have 60 pack invitations sets for $29.95.
Designs For Special Occasions
Their invites are a lot cooler (some have translucent or patterned paper) but they are also more expensive - around $2.20 to $3.60 each (you buy them in packs of 10). However the price includes printing the invitation messages and envelopes (laser I think), which may work out to be a good price if you add that all up...
The Australian Wedding Company
This shop has some cute bonbonniere boxes. They also have really cute tealight holders (with candles) for $2.95 each. Check out their website too.
Check out the full list of 'wedding'-related shops on ebay.
I've found another excellent category on ebay - Wedding Supplies. This category has even more sellers of invites, bonbonniere, decorations, etc.
I also found another great shop for wedding invitations: PaperCardInvites. You can get gorgeous DIY kits from $15. They also sell individual wedding stationary bits and pieces like the stickers, translucent paper and pre-cut cardboard.
