Can I share my excitement??????

[blondebunny]

So excited... I got my Chivari chairs for $6 a piece!!!! They were $10... but someone said they were running a special right now so I called and got it!! yay! That means Im going to save about $400!!!!!

I also got silver charges day after xmas for $.75 each!!! Compared to renting for $3.50 each (which is crazy imo).. so I save about $275 there too... woohoo.. and I can prob resell after my wedding too!!

yay!!!!!!!!

AND I am going to see the church this week...and if we like it.. FI''s grandma said she would pay for it as our wedding gift.. which is awesome since its $675! woohoo

now only if I could decide on a stupid STD... gahhh..

 

[AmberGretchen]

That''s awesome - so great to make progress, get exactly what you want, and for such good prices

 

[Clairitek]

Thats awesome! Nice work on the deals.

Where is your reception going to be? Did you decide to take advantage of the place you could get for free? If you''ve already posted about this I''m sorry I missed it!

 

[Haven]

That''s great BB! There''s nothing like saving some money to make you feel good.

Did you get your chargers at Linens N Things? I only ask because I went CHARGER CRAZY there when they started their liquidation sale! I love chargers, and mine were the same price!

 

[PilsnPinkysMom]

Mmmmm... Bargain hunting is the BEST! Congrats on being a savvy shopper!!!

Ya I am going to use that place... I know it sounds crazy but I told my stepdad he needed to fix the celinings... ahaha... so he is going to talk to the guy... i know they are just ugly and i figure it will help other brides... BUT if not.. I plan on doing the pretty ceiling stuff... and all uplighting in shades of purple and blue I figured with nicer chairs (yay!) and nicer linens and tall centerpieces and I am going to hang chandeliers too... and the fabric I can make it look fabulous... ya''ll will see... hehehe its going to be a SERIOUS before and after make over!!!

I actually got them at Walmart... when I first saw them they were $6 for 4 of them.. and I thought to myself.. I bet these are going to be half off the day after Christmas... and they were... so we went to all the walmarts at my FIs parents to get what we could.. then i sent my one armed momma and stepdad to get the rest... hehehe... its okay... they enjoyed it

OH OH OH.. have u seen the ones at Z gallerie??? OMG.. with the rhinestones.. IF ONLY!!! I thought about putting some just on our plates... hmmm... hehehehehehe

Great job, Blondebunny! That''s a great price for chivari''s! We got a deal on ours as well after taking advantage of a wedding show discount so I am thrilled when other people also have such good fortune. $8/chair is such a rip ... then again so is $6 but, hey ... it''s less painful, right?

I''m so envious of your chargers. We saw some on sale at Macy''s at Christmas time and we thought that they were a great deal at about $2/each. Umm ... Nope - not if you can get them for $0.75! Have I mentioned to you that you, my dear, are a superstar???! What a fantastic deal and significant savings! I am renting mine so I certainly agree that rental pricing is crazy. If we can find gold ones for $0.75 we will be purchasing them as well. Where, dare I ask, did you find such a steal??

Woohoo to the church as well! This is all such fantastic news so yes, please do share your excitement with us. I, for one, am thrilled and can live vicariously through your excitement. I''ve been such a grump lately that it''s nice to smile at someone else''s good fortune!

You''ll figure out your STD ... Just go with your gut. Which one do you love the best?

 

[Winslet]

Awesome job! I wish I were half as skilled at being so frugal and resourceful

i got them at walmart!! can you believe it?!?!?!? crazy right?? But i saw someone post on another board they were .98 at pier... and they had gold.. and they did have gold at walmart too.. im sure they have them left?? you could always check if there is one close enough or try pier! what is the rental price they are charging you?? Its just so silly.. its like ya''ll are making double what you paid for them! FI thought I was crazy because I wanted them.. men just do NOT understand sometimes.... hahahaha

No more grump allowed!! I will post a pic tomorrow of some of the other STDs im thinking about... gosh why does it have to be so hard to make such an easy decision?!?!?!? blah.. okay well i gotta go BACK to bed.. i got up because i forgot to write some emails and i HAD to check PS!

They go under the dinner plate. What purpose they serve besides being pretty I''ll never know.

 

[Sparkalicious]

Sunny - Were you able to buy them online or did you have to go in store?

ahhh okay seriously I have never seen or heard of them before LOL

 

[kittybean]

BB, those are some amazing deals! I would be pretty darn excited too! I am super jealous of your chair deals--the best deal I could find when I was looking was $12/chair. (We didn''t go for them.)

Just wondering--how many guests are you having? (I''m trying to imagine how many charger plates you had to cart out of Wal-Mart

.)

hahahahahahha well we only found 14 boxes which is about 56 total.. and then my parents got 14 as well... hahahaha

 

[Clairitek]

Thats great that you settled on the free venue! Thanks for letting us know.

I saw chargers just like those at the Pottery Barn outlet when I was buying my dishes and napkins recently. I was tempted but FI is not the charger type. He would probably see it as a pointless expense

Boys...

 

[bee*]

That''s brilliant news!! They''re great savings!

 

[musey]

Woohoo!

Oops! I didn''t buy them, I''m going overboard on table things already! LOL...but it looks like they''re not being sold online. Which sucks.
