Savings Tips?!

Rebecca, on June 9, 2022 at 12:15 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 19

Hello!!!

weddings require so much shopping!!!! So I'm on a hunt for the best ways to save money leading up to the weddings so we can maximize our efforts.


one resource I've been loving is Rakuten, I've been able to save as they offer cash back on purchases i was especially excited when i got cashback form Vista print and wedding wire!!! Rakuten


another was signing up for KOHO where you get cash back on all purchases and at some vendors you get extra cash back. if your interested check it out here Koho


I've also been using honey to forecast and show historical prices of items as well as retail me not when all else fails Smiley smile these are jjust my few favorite hacks. what are yours?

    Amazon was the site mostly used to get everything needed for small items at a reasonable price. Even accessories for the outfit.

    We did our tax return too! Makes it feel like the wedding account gets a huge jump up!

    One thing we did that made a huge help was whenever we got bonuses at work (happens twice a year for us) we would put 50% of the bonus into our wedding account. Also if we ever came into cash we would put it into the wedding account

    Thank you so much!! 🥰😁
    Oh yeah, I thought that having different levels and sizes of bottles would look good. Then I had ruscus, roses and baby breath — so those were 1 stem in each bottle.

    Good ideas Rebecca.
    It’s really good to be able to save where you can.

    Oh that’s beautiful idea. I love the melted candle 🕯 idea. Because of Covid and the constant drinking, hahaha. We used wine and beer bottles for the table decor. Painted them gold and bought roses in bulk at Costco for it. It turned out great!!

    My fiance and I have bought a lot of our décor from Facebook wedding groups, Marketplace, and Dollarama! We've also repurposed old frames that my mom had at her place and we're spray painting them to our wedding colors so we can use them for our reception!
