What to do with all the left over wedding items after my big Day?

I kept all of our candles and things I could use around the house. I put our Mr. and Mrs. Sign in our bedroom. I put candles all over the house or when people come over. I kept a few table cloths and linen napkins for holidays and parties. I also kept all of the extra disposible stuff like plates/cups/cutlery and used those for parties or if I just don't feel like doing dishes!

I knew a lot of people getting married so I asked around there first to see if anyone was interested. I ended up selling the rest of my linens to my moms coworkers daughter for cheap. I also had about 20 sets of salt and pepper shakers, those were not hard to get rid of. I had about 10 vases but they were $1 at the dollar store so I sold those for 50 cents each. I still have a few things in my garage but they don't bother me. I saved a ton of money on the wedding because of it and if I can get rid of it I will and if not I'm not mad!

Thank you so much.

WeddingWire doesn’t allow people to sell stuff on their platform, but bravo bride, wedding-recycle, weddingbee, and offer up are all places that I’ve been looking. I know a lot of people get stuff on facebook and next door. Good luck!

I would sell it on Facebook Market Place. Everything usually gets sold pretty fast.

Local wedding Facebook groups are very popular with selling items, as well as the Facebook marketplace. One of FHs groomsmen just got engaged a couple of weeks ago and they booked their venue yesterday, so I’m going to let her look through our stuff if she wants any of it before i sell it!

I plan on re-selling just about everything from our wedding on FB Marketplace. I think the only thing we plan on keeping is the personalized guest book.

I suggest keep what you can use around your house and any customized things with your photos or engraving but you can definitely sell the rest either online or check your area if there is a wedding store or boutique who would buy it off you. We have a wedding store here that buys and sells wedding decor and accessories as a stand alone wedding shop

Thank you ladies so much. There is so much to do now and this is great information.

I'm not even gonna lie I'm already a part of multiple Facebook pages where I'll probably be selling a lot of our unwanted décor, outfits, signs, etc. If I can't use it at the house and no one from the wedding wants it, might as well sell it to someone that will make use of it when I won't anymore

I think that is my trouble i don't have social media just this site and the KNOT site which was great for planning and things but now i do need to get active.
