Cheap Weddings Tip #14 - Shop the After Christmas Sales!

Friday December 26, 2008
The sales this year are better than ever, and that can mean big savings on your wedding budget, as long as you stick to things you actually need. Here are some of the things I've found on sale that are especially useful for weddings:

- strings of white Christmas lights, which can help brighten up a reception space, or create a magical entrance, on sale for just $0.10 a box.
- votive candles, marked down 65%
- all kinds of bridesmaid gifts and groomsman gifts
- lanterns, vases, and other centerpiece items. For example, Pottery Barn has these beautiful blue glass bottles for 75% off clearance. At a beach-themed wedding, a cluster of them with a few simple flowers would look elegant and charming.
- Fun accessories for you to wear. Many of the winter wedding accessories that will help you stay warm in your wedding dress, are now on sale.

What bargains have you found for your wedding?

January sales are a GREAT time for picking up bridal shower gifts especially for theme showers like kitchen or linen showers.

There are also lots of bargains available at online wedding stores whether it be dresses, favors, shoes or invitations.
