If there was a website that sold small, wooden chests personalized with the names or initials of each member of your bridal party handpainted on the tops, would you be interested in purchasing them? What about wooden plaques with names or images burnt into the wood? Also what would you consider to be a reasonable price?
Would you purchase handmade invitations online? What would you be willing to pay?
Would you mail order custom artificial flower arrangements such as bouquets? What would you pay for these?
I really appreciate any input you can give.
Attendants gifts?
Flowers
Good luck to you.
Reply:The wooden chests, etc.... These are available at the various craft shows that are put on in our area. It%26#039;s not really %26quot;my%26quot; kind of thing to buy... unless I was looking for something made locally or by someone I know. That would make it more special than just from some website.
Handmade invitations... probably not. Depends on the price. If it%26#039;s cheaper than the pros, maybe. But there are tons of sellers on ebay selling them too.
Flowers -tons of people selling on ebay. Almost bought some, but the cost wasn%26#039;t much less than real ones.
Take a look for these items on ebay. You can watch them to see what they sell for and how many items get sold.
Not to say you couldn%26#039;t do it, but I think your best venue is to go to local craft shows and use the %26quot;locally hand made%26quot; angle.
Reply:I would not buy any trinkets for attendant gifts, especially anything with names/initials. I dont like giving people unnecessary knick knacks.
I wouldnt buy handmade invitations because I can make professional-looking ones myself, most likely cheaper. If I buy invitations, I would buy engraved or letterpressed invitations.
I wouldnt buy artificial flower arrangements, although they seem to be somewhat popular on here. You might have luck with that. I just dont see the point in artificial flowers, and Ill always buy the real thing.
Good luck to you.
Reply:I love the small personalized chest idea. I would have to see them to let you know exactly how much I would pay, but I would ball park $20.
Online would be a hard place to start out. Start by trying it out in your town and maybe on e-bay. Then you can get a site going. Good luck!
Reply:Sounds like something I would be interested in. If you do this anytime before April please let me know. We get married in May and I want to have there gifts around the end of April.books authors
