Places to get wedding stuff for free
Do you feel better yet? If not, keep reading on to find the amazing places to get free stuff for your D-day!
1.Minted
From graduation card ideas to wedding monograms, Minted boasts of a splendid collection of cards, artworks, frames, and yes, even wedding paper designs.
On logging onto the website, you sense a “welcome” vibe that encourages you to explore the various categories.
Once you check out the website and you’ll be pleased that they let you try their monogram maker for free!
The designs aren’t so bad either. I tried it out with my name and that of someone I… um, you know… and the calligraphy was quite elegant.
That’s not even all! Since you don’t want to end up with wedding stationery that wouldn’t match the color scheme of your wedding, you can always order a free sample kit.
Minted has 3 sample kit options but only option 1 is free. Still, Minted demonstrates that “free” doesn’t always mean “low quality” by the assorted color swatches, letter invitations, and envelope colors.
The free sample kit aside, you want to check out their free address collection forms.
The designs would melt your heart completely!
Right now, I’m thinking of selecting the one titled “beloved” because of the simplicity of golden leaves.
How about you? Why don’t you choose a design as well?
2.The President Tuxedo catalog
917 people cannot be wrong for choosing The President Tuxedo.
I know that the “What do I wear?” part of planning your wedding can drain your happiness battery from 90% to an all time low 2%.
You have to consider the quality of the fabric, the sizing, the wear of your bridesmaids, the color scheme of your wedding, the cost, and oh, yes, ring sizing.
Luckily, the President Tuxedo catalog of carefully categorized wears can go a long way in helping your wedding turn out just right.
The best part? You can order free samples of fabric color swatches!
3.Budget-Savvy Wedding Planning
One question that drives a lot of almost-newly-weds crazy is “where do I start?”
And if you’re reading this, it’s most likely you’re feeling overwhelmed with the seemingly endless wedding preparations.
Here’s some advice on starting somewhere: “If you keep looking at a tangled ball of yarn, it won’t untangle itself. You must take one end and start pulling it apart for you to get a nice, straight line”
Budget-Savvy Wedding planning helps you take one step at a time by giving you free printable wedding planning sheets.
What if you find out you’ve messed up something and you’re the biggest disorganized human being on the planet?
Budget Savvy wedding planning’s Facebook group shows you that that’s not true and that sometimes we take our self-criticism to an extreme level.
With a supportive community like that, you can’t go wrong: even the Bible says “without counsel, plans go wrong but with many advisers, they succeed.”(Proverbs 15.22 RSV)
4.Freebie Depot
One thing that stands out on this website is the number of free stuff they’ve got.
Scanning the page, I spotted a search box, so I just typed “weddings”.
Now that’s when it got interesting. Curious to know what I saw?
Alright, alright I’ll tell you: they’ve got a free but limited subscription to Martha Stewart’s wedding magazine, a free Hawaii visitors guide for your honeymoon, recipe books, and a whole bunch of invitation samples.
They do not call the website “freebie depot” for nothing!
5.JCPenney’s
Engagement photos should be enlarged and framed. You’re asking why?
Oh, it’s simple: it’s so that the first time you guys argue, the photo of you both beaming like children in love will remind you that your love is worth fighting for.
But wait, can’t you just use a wedding album? No, you can’t, and I’ll tell you why. Follow me.
For a wedding album, you’ll have to walk to the shelf with dainty steps and a normal heartbeat, then finger the big brown leather back lovingly before hefting it off and sitting cross-legged by the fire.
That is not something you do when you’re mad.
But a hanging engagement photo intrudes into your thoughts when you least expect it, reviving feelings you think your anger has overwhelmed.
That’s why you should get JCPENNEY’S free wedding engagement photos, plus a $25 gift, and a 40% discount off your next purchase.
Your wedding budget is not meant to break your bank: so, take advantage of some of these offers to cut costs.
