Hey Everybody!

My name is Kristen and one of my hobbies is planning bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, and what ever else comes my way. My favorite part of planning these events are the....... DECORATIONS!! It has not always been this way, as a matter of fact, the very first bridal shower I planned was almost a disaster. I felt overwhelmed and most of all lost. Where should we have the event? How many people are invited? What should the theme be?  and the most important question of all: HOW MUCH WILL ALL THIS COST?? Lets be honest, no one has the money to pay for this really expensive fancy party, so the idea of making the occasion for the person you love without murdering your wallet can be stressful.

After the first shower, I knew that the next time it was my responsibility to throw a party, it was going to be cheap and fabulous! Since then I have planned numerous events at a low price and they were huge successes. So I decided to blog these events to inspire others and help them plan memorable parties! I hope you all enjoy :)
