Party & Wedding Planning, Cheap Tricks - Inexpensive decorating ideas for weddings and parties.

Some people are willing to take our second mortgages on their home in order to have a memorable wedding - an event that lasts a handful of hours, if that. But it's still possible to have a very elegant wedding OR party on a small budget - without blowing up your piggy bank. Here are just a few suggestions:

- Create a balloon arch using bendable plumbing pipe.

- Rather than spend $100 or more on a wedding veil - create your own using silk flowers, a bit of thin wire, a headband and lace.

- Sparklers are an instant and inexpensive hit for night events.

- Create personal birdseed bags with a bit of satin ribbon and netting in the colors of your wedding.

- For baby showers, try folding napkins into a triangle; fill with party mints, then pin with a tiny pin as you would a diaper.

- For punch, use 1 container of sherbet + 1 bottle of Sprite or 7-Up.

- For bachelor parties, a blown-up photo of the future mother-in-law makes a fun dart board.

Economical Vacation - With gas prices out the kazoo, many individuals are not only parking their vacation and holiday plans, they are literally parking their vehicles.

It's absolutely ridiculous - and if the politicians & media has given you the impression that we should be thankful because our fuel prices aren't anywhere near the high prices being experienced in some parts of the world, let's get real! What they aren't saying is that these high-paying countries are receiving exceptional benefits - perks if you will, that are part of the total fuel prices, important benefits such as free health care and free education. We get ditto.

Nonetheless, if you're feeling the price at the pumps in more ways than one, we have a few suggestions that might double as a  vacation. Believe it or not, an individual doesn't have to travel half-way around the globe - or half-way across the states to experience a vacation of a lifetime. continue

Taking the Humble Sandwich from Pauper to Prince - If you're the a-typical American, we'd be willing to bet that your kitchen pantry isn't stocked with exotic ingredients such as goat cheese, stuffed Greek olives, lobster and so forth.
