Sponsored Post: Prom Dresses as Bridesmaid Dresses

While thinking about your own budget for your wedding, you should also be thinking about your bridal party.  Being a bridesmaid is definitely not cheap!  You total up the cost of the dress, shoes, hair, make-up, and pre-wedding parties and that can be a pretty penny.

One great way to help save some money for your bridesmaids is to find cheaper dresses.  The best way to save money is to let them pick whatever dress they want in the color you choose.  But, if you're not willing to forgo the matchy matchy dresses, another great option is prom dresses.  They're normally cheaper than bridesmaid dresses and they also go on a huge sale after prom is over!


All of the following dresses are sold at promgirl.net and are all under $150!


Here are some options for long, traditional formal dresses for your bridesmaids:







If you're more interested in short dresses, here are a few of those:







Would you be willing to forgo traditional bridesmaids dresses in exchange for prom dresses to help save your ladies some money?

Visit from The Fairy Hobmother

I was feeling sick the other day and it perked me up when I opened by email and saw a note from Jennifer at Appliances Online, also known around the blog world as The Fairy Hobmother.

She saw a comment I posted over on Peas and Cougars mentioning that I wanted a Kindle.  That was a little out of The Fairy Hobmother's budget, but she still offered me a $30 Amazon gift card to put towards my wish!

The Fairy Hobmother has a few gifts left up her sleeve, so leave a comment on this post with something you wish for and she just might visit you!
