Black Friday

Following this thread.

It's funny, I was JUST thinking about this... not even 5 minutes ago.

My personal list if the sellers have a sale:

--Hair comb and sash from Etsy: I've been eyeing them but haven't pulled the trigger because I was waiting for a sale.

--White dress: I tried it on in the store and loved it, but at the time, I didn't need it for anything. They still have it and I've been eyeing it to see if it went on sale! Hoping it will for Black Friday.

--Bridal party gifts: I have a few items that I was thinking about getting them, I was going to check for some sales.

I remember a lot of brides got stuff from Vistaprint and The Knot shop last year. Also check out deals on wedding bands. Etsy rarely has sales, since that is up to the seller. Some bridal shops will have deals on BM dresses.

Brilliant, never thought of this. Following.

I'm watching for the cricuts and silhouette machines to go on sale so I can start some DIYs

I got the best deals on linens and such at smartyhadaparty.com and my wedding jewelry at golden threads.com. David's Bridal also had awesome non-dress wedding stuff/accessories.

Ohh following! We read a while back that the Knot has sales on things like custom napkins that day, so definitely keeping my eye on those. Since I'll be out of town, might be good to make a list of things to try to get.

Michaels and Joanns normally have Black Friday deals. I'll probably be looking for bridal party gifts.

I got groomsmen gifts and other little things from The Knot shop last year for a super great deal (but it does take a while to personalize the gifts because a gazillion people also order those at the same time so it may take a few weeks to get). Napkins tend to go on sale multiple times throughout the year from the Knot but I'm not sure if Black Friday is one of those sales. I also got some jewelry from David's Bridal.

I can't believe Black Friday is already upon us So excited! lol

We are hoping to find a deal on wedding bands. Would also like to check out oriental trading for glow sticks for the reception.

Don't forget the check the web sites on Cyber Monday also

The only thing I ever get around that time is henley's and cable sweaters from Old Navy for the man. If I can find a new pea coat I will.

I genuinely hate black friday- I won't go anywhere near a store unless it's like 10 PM at night 30 minutes before clothing.

On my mental "keep tabs for anything good"... If I can score some new make up from Make up Geek/Morphe or Mac I will.

Every stationary item from Vistaprint (STDs, invites, return address labels, thank you cards). Bridesmaid gifts from The Knot (personalized totes, makeup bags with their initials, personalized robes).

Hoping to get invites. I know there's a lot more I need to look for, but can't think of anything! Will probably go to the craft stores that day.

eta: My boss asked me to work that day and I said yes (honestly, I had little to no option) as long as I could close that day specifically so I could spend the morning buying wedding stuff and now other than invites which I'd get online anyway, I can't really think of anything specific.

I'm waiting to get my BM's dresses on Black Friday as they have sales every year. Going to watch for gifts as well. Amazon we shall see, although last year I was not thrilled about their Black Friday "deals"

I'm hoping to get my shoes/any accessories that I can find plus my bridesmaids gifts. I might just check out what sales are happening at craft stores and see what might be useful there too.

Last year I got personalized napkins and fans for the ceremony at The Knot Shop. I wasn't planning to buy them, but they were so cheap. This year I plan to buy our invitations, and I'll look for bridal jewelry and a hairpiece. We thought about buying our rings but we both haaaate shopping with crowds and need to try them in person, so I think we will not brave the stores for that.

Last year The Knot Shop started their BF sale on Monday. I placed my order that morning and got everything except one small jewelry box for my flower girl. Embroidered totes were $4, engraved flasks for $2, engraved mirrors for $2, engraved yoyos for the ring bearers were $2. We got our napkins for I think 25% off? I ordered a ton of paper lanterns (we strung a bunch together and hung from the point in the ceiling at the reception as a chandelier) that were 20-50 cents each depending on size. I think I paid a dollar or two for paper straws?

But the site got hit hard and most people had large parts (or the entirety) of their orders cancelled because things went out of stock. The sale hit the deal and bargain forums so totes and things sold out fast. So this year make sure you're ready to jump when the same goes live to get your order in the first wave.

Not BF but I got most of our linens on a Veterans Day sale at efavormart. They always have 35-40% off running but they had an extra percent on top of it which pushed the discount over 50%. I got floor length tablecloths for $7. Runners for $2. I think a similar extra discount ran BF but I already had my order in so I couldn't tell you for sure. They run them constantly--every holiday it seems.
