Special events require serious planning. Deciding what to wear, who to invite and what to serve can eat up time—not to mention gas—even for the most social of butterflies. Thankfully, local entrepreneurs have caught on to the demand for e-commerce convenience by making one-stop shopping as easy as point and click.
Planning the guest list is often the trickiest part, but sifting through countless sets of stationery at various stores is equally frustrating. Hosts pressed for time and patience can check Wilmington-based finestationery.com, where designs from Vera Wang, Kate Spade and William Arthur can be easily viewed and purchased in a variety of quantities and styles.
When the time comes to find the perfect dress, couture junkies can get their fix at fashionbug.com, a Bear-based company that specializes in sophisticated separates and dresses from hot labels such as BCBG, Christian Dior and Gucci, all at discounts.
As the event gets underway, charming decor and spiked drinks make for a memorable evening and an inviting atmosphere. For fun accessories and whimsical gifts, wise-glass.com provides the perfect souvenirs of a party worth remembering. Wine glasses, highball glasses, mugs and more are engraved with “McDreamy,” “Lotus Lover,” and “Beach Goddess,” to name a few. Bonus: With the engraving on each glass, the goddess doesn’t have to worry about getting her drink mixed up with the lotus lover’s. —Emily Riley
