    hi all!

    i love etsy, but sometimes i feel overwhelmed searching on it.  lately, i have been obsessively looking at etsy for bridesmaid gifts.  what have you guys ordered (and from who) that you've had good experiences with?

     

    thanks!

    I have not ordered anything for the wedding yet, but I love some of the invites on there. They are so unique! I am doing a cupcake table at my reception, and they have some very cute handmade "Cupcake" signs. I thought that it would be kind of cute to have the sign on the table. I also thought about looking for bridesmaid gifts as well.

    I bought my fiance's Christmas gift on Etsy.  The seller was geministudios and he makes custom canvas art.  I got a Wrigley Field piece but he does more custom things which might make nice gifts.

    I LOVE Etsy!!!!  I got custom cupcake flags on there, a "Love Is Sweet" sign for the candy buffet table, AND my bouquets!!!!!  For my sign I used WordBoards - she was awesome and easy to work with!  The sign was priced well and I ended up going back to her for another sign for a Christmas present. :)

    I found martini glasses that had hand painted flowers for each one of my bm.  They all had a different color.  I got them from etsy. It cost me about 9 for each one. My BM loved them. I also got personalized wine charms each with their initial. Also from esty.

    I got my mister's ring from there and some amazing cufflinks made from Guinness Beer Bottle caps- it's all about searching, it can be overwhelming but there's some amazing finds on Etsy.

    I don't know how many of you use Livejournal.

    There was a great post a while back where loads of people collaborated their Etsy finds. My posts are under the username "cuelight".

    I'm also obsessed with Etsy!  I got our return address stamp and a monogram stamp there plus totes for my bridesmaid bags.  I'm thinking of buying a custom wedding dress sketch, wedding canvas, family name sign, and/or pandora beads.

    Etsy is full of fabulous finds. I wish I'd known about more of the wonderful sellers when I was planning my wedding. I am so happy that I know about them now, and find plenty of excuses to buy things even without a wedding to plan.

    My most recent favorite find, which is particularly applicable to me because I have my own Shop, was a hand cut Valentine's card that says "I Love You More Than Etsy." The shop, StoreyShop, is fantastic, and has tons of cute cards.

    I am not going to talk about my own products here, but I will alert any interested brides to my giveaway/contest over in the Classifieds: http://classifieds.weddingbee.com/topic/custom-wedding-puzzle-giveaway.

    I LOVE the garters made by this etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39155785

    I may or may not have stolen this link from another WB member a while back.

    love it (it's all silk!), and will probably buy it for my wedding, with a charm different from the horseshoe one...I contacted the seller and she said she has like fifteen options.

    If I were wearing a garter, I would totally get one of those! They're so gorgeous.
