need a few things

Hello
I'm so glad that I found this site strictly for African American women. I'm getting married in 6 weeks in the Bronx NY and I need some suggestions regarding where to get:
monogrammed napkins, cake boxes, place cards.
I also need suggestions for florist (my flowers will be orchids and white calla lillies)

Re: need a few things

Hi CSAP and welcome into the sistahood. These ladies are very resourceful and just plain 'ol good people! First you may want to check the "Wedding Store" located to the right of the forum board. I purchased my napikins from TheKnot.com. You might want to try www.orientaltrading.com if you don't find what you need on the vendor mall located on this site. In any event welcome, good luck in your planning and please come back and visit soon.

Re: need a few things

welcome to the family Csap, I am copying this from another post:

here are several online wholesalers I have found for flowers. I have read reviews on them from other customers on various unaffiliated website and have found mostly positive reviews of all of them:

http://www.theflowerexchange.com/
http://www.growersbox.com/
http://www.flowersandfreshness.com/
http://www.fiftyflowers.com/
http://www.2groses.com
http://www.onlinewholesaleflowers.com/

Also, consider integrating the real flowers will silks. You can purchase silks very reasonably online, on sites such as ebay (i am a huge advocate for ebay and saving money), and even craft stores in your area such as Michaels may have sales goin on.

Napkins- For your party website I saw some pretty personalized napkins in Brides Magazine and I wanted them so I went to their reference section and this was it. It does different fonts, colors, and even positions of your names or initials! (Nice price)....Also most sites that does invitations and favors usually offers napkins...The website above is the cheapest I found that does the napkins like this.

Place Cards- You can go to any craft or party store...I even saw some at the Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Target! You just have to get a nice calligraphy pen!

Cake boxes- You can get them from a craft store
I see them online for about $30.00-$35.00/50 boxes personalized, but I bet if you get some small gift boxes (non-wedding) big enough for the piece of cake, some pretty ribbon and some gift tags, use that caligraphy pen to make a cute present (favor) for guests!
Here are a few sites with plain white gift boxes: Plain boxes

The cheapest I've seen

Good luck.....
