How to Use Online Coupons for Rings, Flowers, Invitations and More...
By Christian Gordun, CEO and founder of Coupon Craze
There are TONS of ways to save on wedding expenses, but one of the most obvious ways tends to be one of the most forgotten – COUPONS! That’s because people generally associate coupons with grocery markets or drug stores. To help brides-to-be think outside the grocery cart, I put together a list of 5 ways they can use online coupons when getting wedding ready. These tips can help you save no matter what stage you’re at in the planning process.
- Hide Your Budget, Shop Online: Take advantage of online coupons when purchasing wedding favors and invitations because when buying in bulk, a percentage off coupon can go a long way. Try online retailer American Bridal which is offering some fantastic deals this summer. You can get chic, affordable, and even personalized invitations and favors without anyone knowing you’re on a budget.
- Plan All Year Round: To avoid racking up a credit card bill and paying interest fees, all you have to do is space out your purchases! This approach works great because coupons and deals from wedding retailers remain steady all year round (often not the case with other types of specialty stores). Take advantage of these deals and don’t make any impulse buys that will leave you with a credit card bill that you can’t pay off at the end of the month. Slow and steady wins the race!
- Something Borrowed: A bride’s wedding day is likely one of the most glamorous days of her life so no detail is too small – especially her jewelry. But what if the budget just isn’t there to purchase pieces that can stand up to the rest of her look? That’s where the notion of “something borrowed” comes into play. Adorn Brides offers an innovative approach by renting out exquisite diamond bridal jewelry that will have you looking like a million bucks – regardless of what your budget is.
- Give the Guy a Hint: When your guy starts dropping hints about tying the knot, be sure to point out all the fabulous online jewelry stores that offer coupons. Zales, Blue Nile, MyJewelryBox.com, Diamond.com and Ice.com all offer coupon codes at Coupon Craze which can help your finance-to-be save some serious dough – think how far a 20% off coupon would go on such a big purchase. Teach him to be a smart shopper early since what’s yours will be his and vice versa! You can find additional Jewelry coupons here.
- Get Fresh Flowers for Less: Online flower shops offer some of the best coupons out there (see some examples here), which means that there’s absolutely no reason to pay full price for your flowers – whether it’s for the wedding, the bridal shower or the rehearsal dinner. You can shop in the stores, figure out what you’re looking for and then purchase your order online using coupons codes from retailers like 1-800-Flowers, FTD, Teleflora, and more. Shoppers save an average of 15% on flowers at Coupon Craze which can really add up!
Coupon Craze has an entire coupon category devoted to weddings, so don’t order anything online without checking for a coupon code first!
