Getting married? Black Friday can be the perfect opportunity to find great deals on wedding items. Here are 12 wedding items to be on the lookout for.There is never a shortage of good deals offered on Black Friday. Electronics, clothing, gifts items, and even cars are offered at steep discounts. But aside from finding holiday gifts for your friends and family, Black Friday is also the perfect time to find deals for wedding supplies.

While most stores have not yet announced their Black Friday deals for the year, historically, there have been a multitude of opportunities to find substantial deals on wedding supplies. You can use Black Friday to your advantage by looking for these 12 items on sale.

 

1) Centerpieces

 
Centerpieces are never cheap, and depending on how many tables you have at your reception, it can be downright costly. Whether you are looking to purchase ready-made centerpieces or to buy the supplies to make your own, craft stores and hardware stores often hold Black Friday sales on these items.

Not surprisingly, Amazon has a great selection of nearly anything you could think of wedding related. If you are a Prime member, you can save even more money.

 

2) Wedding Attire

 
Who would have thought that even bridal shops participate in Black Friday sales? While not every store does, you can call in advance to make an appointment. Many bridal stores will offer steep discounts on wedding and bridesmaid dresses from the rack.

Black Friday can also be a good time to shop for the men in the bridal party, especially if you are considering buying a tux or suit instead of renting. Even department stores deeply discount suits and other clothing on Black Friday.

 

3) Wedding Guest Attire

 
If you have plans to attend a wedding as a guest, you are likely to find significant deals on dresses, shoes, and other attire on Black Friday. You can find many deals at your local bridal shop, mall, or even online. Most retailers still offer deals online during Black Friday. Many times, these Black Friday deals will extend online through Cyber Monday, but be sure to check in advance so you don’t miss your opportunity.

 

4) Luggage

 
Luggage might be one of the last things on your list, but if you’re jetting off on a honeymoon immediately after the wedding, you won’t have time to scramble to find it. If you’re not deliberately looking for a deal, luggage can be very expensive.

Luckily, luggage seems to be an item that is typically marked down drastically for Black Friday. If you don’t have a quality luggage set, Black Friday is the perfect time to look.

 

5) Jewelry

 
Depending on what the rest of your attire looks like, you may be wanting to purchase some jewelry to go with your outfit. While you can always borrow jewelry from someone you love, you may still decide to purchase your own. If so, Black Friday can save you hundreds, if not more.

Local jewelers often host Black Friday deals, but you are also sure to find discounts at nationwide jewelers. Department stores also offer steep discounts on jewelry.

 

6) Shoes

 
You might be tempted to purchase shoes from the bridal store, but those are often significantly more expensive than you could purchase on your own. Nowadays, you can find quality dress shoes in department stores and even on Amazon. And if you want your bridal party to wear matching shoes, Black Friday can be the perfect time to look. Your bridal party will thank you for keeping their budget in mind.

 

7) Day-Of Kit Items

 
Even if your wedding is months away, you can never start thinking of what you might need that day in case of emergency. Items such as extra hair supplies, a first aid kit, snacks, stain remover, a sewing kit, scissors, static guard are all good to have on hand in case something should happen during your wedding.

Though they might seem like small, inexpensive items, it can add up quickly, and no one wants another expense right before their wedding. When you are doing your Black Friday shopping, keep an eye out for these small items.

 

8) Invitations and Programs

 
Personalized invitations, wedding programs, and thank you cards are all a major cost of a wedding. Minted is one website that offers a wide selection of wedding stationery to fit any couples’ style.

Though they haven’t announced Black Friday deals yet, it is worth putting on your watch list. They hold specials year-round as well, so even if you miss Black Friday, you can still score a great deal on wedding stationery.

 

9) Gift Items

 
Many couples choose to give a small gift to their friends and family who constitute the bridal party. It might be some jewelry to wear during the wedding that they can keep, or a tie for the men. It could also be something personalized or monogrammed, such as a wine glass, bag, or other. Whatever you choose to give, it’s no secret that buying a gift for everyone in your bridal party can add up quickly, especially if you are trying to give something personal to everyone in your bridal party.

Again, many Etsy shop owners choose to hold Black Friday deals of their own. Depending on what you are purchasing, retailers such as Amazon, department stores, and craft stores could have Black Friday deals as well. The best way to ensure you’re getting the most for your money is to create a gift list in advance, search for the items online and continue to check it to see if there will be a Black Friday sale on that item.

 

10) Party Favors

 
What’s a party without a small favor to give at the end? But even a small favor can add up quickly in costs when you have to buy enough to give to every single wedding guest.

When thinking about affordable party favors, the two vendors that come to mind are Etsy and Amazon. Since there are multiple sellers on each site, not everything is discounted for Black Friday. But you can take the time to scour these sites during Black Friday to find deals from the comfort of your own home.

 

11) Craft Items

 
You are bound to need some items from a craft store, even if you aren’t doing most of the decorating yourself. Stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels have historically offered heavy discounts during Black Friday – but go quickly. The stores are often packed with people picking up holiday decor.

 

12) Florals

 
On Etsy, you’ll find scores of shops that create artificial floral arrangements. Many of these shops offer steep discounts on Black Friday. You will even find that many of the shop owners will take custom floral orders, so your floral arrangements can look realistic and meet your needs.

You can also look at websites such as afloral.com. They have frequent sales throughout the year, making their floral arrangements much more affordable than buying real flowers.

    All great ideas Rachel. My wife & I got married in May, so nowhere near Black Friday but it does make sense to take advantage of it if you can. That said, we really don’t do much in terms of Black Friday shopping other than watch for a deal or two on Amazon – when we do it’s typically for something around the house.

    • Rachel says

      Thanks, John. I don’t usually participate in Black Friday either, but when I got married last year I really took advantage. I was able to save 40-50% on most items I knew I needed for the wedding, so that was a big win.

  2. Damn Millennial says

    All good ideas, I think most people aren’t savvy enough to be focused on these items on black Friday! Great idea for those planning a wedding coming up next year.

    • Rachel says

      Thank you! I’m not a huge Black Friday shopper, but it really can save you money if you have a couple of items in mind that you need.
