Oriental Trading

All you brides on a budget -- Oriental Trading just might become your best friend! And you should know, they recently won a major award! (Kudos if you get that reference, haha!)

"Every year, brides on TheKnot.com vote for their favorite wedding services, and since 2011, Oriental Trading Company has been voted a Best of Weddings winner! As a winner of The Knot Best of Weddings, Oriental Trading received the highest praise...endorsement from real brides!"

You all know how picky brides can be, so that is a huge accomplishment!

You will definitely want to request a free wedding catalog!  Once you've requested the wedding catalog, you should start receiving their catalogs almost every month.  If you can't wait until the catalog comes - no worries.  All of the same items can be found online through their website as well! What's nice is you can shop by color and collection (cherry blossom, monogrammed wedding, peacock--which is totally hot right now!, western, etc.)

I ordered these luau party lanyards and had no complaints with the quality.  I removed the paper insert and replaced it with name tags for our wedding guests, one side read:

"Guest Name"
Smith Wedding
VIP

the other side read:

To Have and to Hold:
ID, Credit Card, Room Key, etc.

Our guests loved them! The trick to Oriental Trading is to not limit yourself to the wedding section.  A lot of the items we found were actually more related to the luaus and tropical themed parties, there are also quite a few really good props under the costume section if you planned on having a photo booth.

What have been your go-to sites for all of your wedding projects?

Happy Planning,
Anti-Bridezilla
