Make your own order of service- i got pearlised a4 paper, printed my info on it, folded in 2 and then rolled into a scroll and tied with a ribbon.looks so effective, vintage and cost about £10 for 150

Go to TK Maxx and look at their wee flower girl dresses- they are fab and only £16.99. Apparently they stock the best range coming up to Christmas.

Go on ebay and buy your bits and bobs, e.g.favour bags (i got fab ones from china), personalised socks for the mens pressies, sweets, table decorations etc...

Apart from that i didnt really get many bargains...but im still looking.Good Luck!
