Target $1 Deals and More

I ran into Target last week to pick up a few items--yeah right, who can resist stopping to look at all of their cute stuff? Always on the lookout for great savings and possible wedding flare, the dollar deals grabbed my attention the moment I stepped in the door. Here's my PSA for all of you:

They currently have a large assortment of novelty ribbons in a variety of colors. just $1 per set. Now, maybe they don't suit your color scheme, but maybe they do? Either way, here's just one of the rolls. And yes, I am so devoted to helping you out that I stopped and took pictures of everything. I don't want you to make an extra trip if it's not what you're looking for. Then again, who wouldn't want to stop in Target?
They also have loads of scrapbooking papers and red and white tissue paper. If you are a Valentine's Day bride, or using the color red, this could be a good deal for you. Granted, if you need a tone of tissue paper we can find it for you in bulk from other sources.
Even more, the dollar bins also had an assortment of felt bags--perfect favors if you are inviting kids to the reception. They are just the right size to fit some crayons, a coloring book, and a few other novelties. Keeping the kids occupied will always contribute to the makings of a great reception. Oh, and did I mention that the children's parents will love you too?
There were also different 'boy' and 'girl' themed sticker books that you could include in the activity bags.
Lastly, everyone is pulling out their new digs for 2009. No matter what store I'm in, I always duck into the bridal and party sections. Something new to Target that you might be interested in are these OOT (out-of-town) bags. If you don't have the time to make themed bags or simply don't desire to, they now offer these simple yet elegant totes that say 'Thanks for being part of our day.' You can use them to welcome guests to their hotels, or you may also want to use them for bridal party gifts. Either way, they are $9.99 for 12.
Happy shopping to you all, and remember that we are also always more than happy to handle the shopping for you!
