What was your first wedding-related purchase?

Joey, on August 23, 2017 at 08:10 Posted in Before the wedding 0 16

There are many purchases to make when preparing for a wedding (I know I don't need to remind you of that!) but I'm curious, what was your first? Was it a wedding magazine, a planning book, a new nail polish to show off that engagement ring, a bottle of champagne to toast the occasion, a custom domain name for your website, the ring you used to propose to your future spouse? Tell us, or better yet, show us what you bought first!

    I got a shirt that says "He put a ring on it" from Etsy. I don't know if that was first or the flower rings that I got for my flower girls.

    I bought a TON of wedding books from a used book store (I probably ended up with 10-15 books) so that was probably the first purchase but the first thing we bought for the actual wedding was our card box. We went to a vintage/antiques show and fell in love with this box. It's a wine crate that had been painted and I loved the logo of the wine. I'm so glad we bought it right away because we went back to the show a few times and that vendor wasn't there! Now that the wedding is over, we use it as a keepsake box.

    A wedding planner! And I'm glad I did... there's so many things in there I hadn't even thought of. Plus it's cute and personalized, so it'll make for a great keepsake!

    It was definitely the Martha Stewart weddings issue. I was so excited to finally buy it.

    It would probably have been our venue if we weren't getting married on family property. We got giving our website by my future brother-in-law as an engagement gift. I think the first real purchase for our wedding was my dress. My FH bought my engagement ring prior to that obviously! Smiley smile

    The first thing I bought after being engaged was a printed photo and frame from the actual engagement. It happened on vacation, so when I printed off all my pics to show family and friends I casually included this one as a fun surprise way to tell everyone!
