10 Ways to Save on Your Wedding This Season

When you’re in the midst of planning your wedding, finding ways to save money along the way feels like a nice surprise. As you look at your budget and move things around to find ways to afford the celebration you’ve always wanted, keeping an eye out for sales and discounts can really be a game changer.

As Black Friday and the holiday shopping season approach, there are a lot of great items and services that offer discounts worth snagging for your 2022 wedding. Here are the types of sales you should search for this year!

Wedding Invitations and Save-the-Dates

Sharing your wedding date, venue, and plans with your entire guest list is high up on your to-do list. That’s why finding the right invitations to capture the mood and ambiance of the future celebration is important, but it can be expensive too.

Many online invitation design and ordering websites, like Minted or Zazzle, offer 15-30% off invitation orders during their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

Shoes and Accessories

If you have a good idea of the dress style you want to wear, or you’ve already said yes to the look of your dreams, use this time of year to snag big discounts on shoes and accessories.

Big department stores, like Macy’s or Bloomingdale’s, often offer steep Black Friday sales. You can also check out local stores and boutiques to see what kind of discounts they are offering this year, and pinpoint accessories or shoes that you want to grab.

Wedding Dress

Perhaps there’s a wedding dress you have your eye on, but the price tag is getting in the way. Write down all the details (style number, designer, name of the dress) and make it a point to do some deep Internet searching on Black Friday. Wedding dress boutiques around the country often offer their own select sales and discounts. If you know the dress you want, you can try to find it on sale at a store that can ship it to you.

DIY Decor Items

If you’re planning on making your own centerpieces, party favors, or decor for the wedding, now is a great time to load up on supplies for up to 70% off. Check out local craft stores or places like Michael's or Jo-Ann Fabrics.

Honeymoon Luggage

One of the greatest items to buy during holiday sales is luggage. If you’re planning on taking a honeymoon, or even jetting somewhere for your bachelorette party, picking up a set of luggage now could save you quite a bit of cash.

Pick the luggage set you love and use websites that track where you can find the lowest price for it, like Best Price, so you can make sure you get the best deal.

Travel Deals

Weddings usually involve a lot of traveling — even if you’re the person getting married. Perhaps you have plans to go somewhere far away for your bachelorette party or you want to stay in a hotel the night before your wedding. Tap into Black Friday coupons and discounts to book travel ahead of time using websites like Booking.com or Hotels.com, and get deals like $100 off or up to 60% off reservations.

Bridesmaid Dresses & Accessories

Help your bridal party cut down on costs for their dresses and accessories by hunting down Black Friday deals for them.

Check out different bridesmaid dress retailer websites to see if they are offering sales, and even suggest shoe and jewelry options for the dresses by sending over items you find on-sale during the holiday. That way, your bridesmaids can save some cash as they prepare for your big day.

Party Favors

Sending your guests home with a special treat is always a sweet way to end your wedding. Start looking for party favors during Black Friday and take advantage of sales that vendors and websites will offer bulk orders (of 50 or more) for. If a discount isn’t offered, it’s okay to reach out to that vendor and ask if they can offer a special price to see if there’s a sale available.

Wedding Decor

If you’re looking to order decor that adds a personalized touch to your wedding, look for the discounts offered by designers on marketplaces, like Etsy. While each shop will offer their own sales, finding a vendor who can make monogrammed napkins, welcome signs, and more can help you grab must-have items at a good price.

Wedding Vendors & Services

If you’re still in the process of booking vendors, send an email asking the ones you’re talking to if they are offering any kind of sale or discount for booking this holiday season.

Some might offer a price cut or even offer to throw in an extra service as a thank you for booking during this time of the year. Either way, it's worth asking!
