Xpedx has wonderful invitations and paper products good for any occasions. I purchased 150 formal invitations and response cards and envelopes for $98 this morning. I print myself, but they are wonderful! They also have a great selection of 5x7 cards that would be wonderful for a shower or party. With most of the selection 25% off and a massive selection to order from it is worth a trip!

I ordered my first set of Edible Arrangements for thank you gifts and they are just as wonderful as they look! I ordered out of the Claremont store, but you can order online and get them delivered. They were a hit and so delicious...... Perfect for a bridal party gift or even a gift for a newly married couple. Don't forget anniversaries, well the list goes on and on....

Simple Shell Centerpieces

For the Upland Heritage picnic this afternoon I made a simple shell centerpiece that would be a perfect low budget non floral centerpiece for any occasion. I put paver sand (found at Home Depot/Lowe's for less then $4 for a 50 pound bag, makes about 20 to 25 centerpieces), fish bowls ($1 at most craft stores or dollar stores) and simply put a large sea shell on top of the sand. You could dress it up with ribbon or colored glass beads as well.

I already had the shells, but even if you purchased them, for less then $3 a piece you have a very cute, simple and elegant center piece.
