1. Ask About Overstock
Emma Angevine, director of individual giving and special events at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, always asks printers to compare her choices of paper or cardstock with any overstock they have on hand. (Sometimes printers end up buying more paper than they need to fill another order, so they offer it at a substantial discount.) Angevine recently saved 20 percent off her paper costs when her printer had an overrun from a previous job that closely resembled her original cardstock choice. The color, texture, and weight were close enough to Angevine's selection that she was able to forgo her original choice in favor of the less expensive alternative -- a switch her guests would never notice or suspect.
2. Hit the Gift Shop
Holding an event at a museum or other venue that has a gift shopon-site? Don't overlook it as a source for unique decor elements. Forthe recent opening of "Concrete Kingdom: Sculptures by Nek Chand," an exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum featuring the work of an Indian artist, the museum's special events manager, Katie Hush,played off the exhibit's theme by using Indian items for sale in the gift shop. Hush used rugs as wall hangings and tucked pillows into seating nooks to add some vibrant colors to the room. She has also used carved wooden folk art tchotchkes in lieu of flowers or candles as centerpieces. Hush says museums are often amenable to this practice because it gets their merchandise in front of prospect you save money by getting both decor and gifts for one price.
