Penny-Pinching

Today is the day that I had to start preparing things of Abagails birthday its thirteen days until shes one and fifteen days until her birthday party. I had to finish preparing the decor for her Princess party. So I was looking around for a printing company to print in color and cardstock seventeen pages for a decent price. 

Kinkos was near $25.00

and

UPS was $11.00

Pretty evident of where I decided to go. Abagail's Princess Party will have cupcakes and centerpieces for the tables similar to these. 

I decided to use 5 different princess. (Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel, Aurora, and Belle) We need five tables for all of our family and each table is going to be a different princess and all groups of families within our family was assigned a certain princess table. For her party we are going to do soup and rolls with lemonade and water (tea party style) and then cupcakes and ice-cream. I also made crowns for everyone to wear with their names on it.  I cannot wait for her party. 

As  I was in the middle of my penny pinching day I knew I wanted to do a princess cake smash shoot for Abagail. I also wanted to get some with Rylee and Abby dressed up having a tea party. 

How cute right?

 I was looking at  Walmart for costumes and for a Cinderella dress that came to your knees was $25.00 and then an Aurora dress for Abagail was $25.00. So I decided to look on Amazon and I found a costume for Abagail  for $15 and for Rylee (for $25) I did not save much on Rylees but its a floor length dress and had great reviews on durability than the ones from Walmart. 

(I also wanted Rylee to be able to use it for dress up so their had to be room to grow for a few years) 

Aren't they cute? I cannot wait for Halloween. I also cannot wait until Abbys cake smash and the tea party princess photoshoot. October is going to be busy but so much fun! 

How do you guys penny-pinch for the holidays to come?
