Clearance Items and Creativity








BDE was asked to submit a portfolio to a fellow event planner's office to leave in their waiting room. I was thrilled! I figured I would show you how easily and affordable something like this was accomplished. First, I found this great photo album at Michael's that was on clearance! I also found the cute red flower, that happens to match BDE's theme, also on clearance. Then, I had my portfolio pictures (most can be seen through our main website at www.beautifuldayevents.com) at Walgreen's. This another great way to save money. The prints were only $.19 a piece and were ready within an hour. I next took my trusty glue gun (any DIY person owns one!) and glued the flower petal onto the front cover, as well as a business card. I filled the pages of the book with my pictures using acid-free glue as to not ruin my pictures in the long run. Finally, I took the envelope of a thank you card, cut off the sealing flap, and glued it to the back of the book. Then I put business cards in it as well. And viola! DONE! It looks great and cost me less than $15, total!

BDE has many more great ideas for such products. Contact us for any ideas! We are glad to help!
