There is no question that most people do NOT have extra time on their hands. In fact, creativity aside, we probably wouldn't be in business if people were able to dedicate their time and effort into planning their event.
Take for example the pictures above from a recent, sleep over themed, bridal shower. All of those items you see where created from scratch, well except the cupcakes and we have Betty Crocker to thank for those. The tissue paper was gift bag bound and the banner was poised to become a lovely scrap book page. Being the creative types, we are not satisfied with many cookie cutter decorations or strawberries. It would have been much easier, fast, and way more convenient to purchase these items and yet we took the long road to cutness.
The results are always the same, a unique and memorable piece. All night long people raved about how perfect everything looked and matched. The banner was snatched up by the bride-to-be and will fulfill it's destiny as part of her scrapbook. The pom poms will be reused at the rehersal dinner. Thankfully all of the strawberries were devoured and none went to waste.
The reality is that it was incredibly time consuming and with advance planning, everything was done a little at a time. It was time well spent because the results were great.
More importantly, for our customer, she was able to relax and enjoy being the maid-of-honor.
