Bridesmaids Gifts -- Sale Ends Feb. 16

American Bridal has a whole bunch of cute tote bags on sale . . . for just $5 a bag! A lot of these bags are priced between $35 and $50, so this sale is a really great deal and would make great gifts for your bridesmaids. You can even have the bags personalized for an extra $10 bag. Or, you can buy them as is and find a place to do the embroidery or even do it yourself if you're that talented (I'm not).

American Bridal also has some cute makeup bags, jewelry cases, and duffel bags at the $5 price. I even got myself a super cute garment bag!

At $5/bag, you can't beat the price. Sale ends February 16!

Dresses on sale

At David's Bridal until December 1. I know, I know. David's Bridal gets really mixed reviews. Personally, I think if you're strong enough to ignore the sales pitch of the rep helping you and bring a friend with you to give his or her honest opinion, you'll be fine. Some complain that the quality of the dress isn't that great, but they seemed fine to me. I can't imagine that it wouldn't hold up for one day -- which is exactly how long I plan on wearing it. At $350, I couldn't really beat that price for what I wanted (I didn't want a previously worn dress because I'm superstitious like that and couldn't shop the samples because dresses in sample sizes are about 8 sizes too large for me).

Also, if you purchase your dress from David's Bridal you can save your bridesmaids some money ($20 off each of their dresses) and get a discount from Men's Wearhouse for tuxes as well.
