Your wedding is no exception to the Cyber Week shopping - and discounts! Just because most people are shopping for the holidays during this time, don't forget that you can get some amazing deals on your wedding too. From wedding dresses, bridal accessories and even deals on services like photography or wedding planning, many businesses are offering cyber week deals to engaged couples.
I wanted to give you a little bit of information on how we are handling Cyber Week at The Garter Girl, plus a few tips for how to take advantage of these seasonal deals when it comes to your wedding. (You know I can't do a blog post without giving you lots of wedding planning tips and advice.)
Here at The Garter Girl we decided to switch things up a bit this year for Black Friday and Cyber Week, and give our brides - and those who love them - some amazing deals all month of November long.
First, from November 1 to November 30, 2024, we're hosting an epic $50 Garter Sale. That's right, the same hand crafted quality that you've come to know and love from us here at The Garter Girl, but just with an incredible, never before offered discount for brides.
Wedding garters with lace, bridal garters with tulle, and something blue ideas for every bride theme and style will be on sale for our early Black Friday $50 garter sale.
Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming, so we wanted to give you the savings all month long. Now brides have time to think about it and take their time picking out the garter and wedding keepsake that they'll love forever.
However, there is only one of each garter style in the $50 garter sale and we will not be restocking. So, while you have all month of November to make your garter decision, don't wait too long because if the one that you want is gone or sold out, we will not be restocking.

If you are planning a wedding, you are shopping small! You don't have to work to hard to shop small when it comes to your wedding, so you can rest easy during Small Business Saturday.
For me, the best part of working in the wedding industry is that virtually all businesses are small and/or local businesses, just like The Garter Girl. Bridal dress shops are a small businesses and so are many of the wedding dress and accessory designers that they carry.

Wedding photographers, planners and videographers are all small businesses. Most rental companies and caterers are small, local businesses who employ lots of folks in the area where you are having your wedding. Most invitation designers are small business owners. Wedding blogs and influences are small business owners.

The wedding world is an industry, but it's mostly comprised of small and local businesses. If shopping small is important to you, then planning your wedding will feel really good!
So get out there and support the wedding industry by booking your wedding vendors and wedding pros for your big day!
There are so many amazing charities out there. It is really incredible and heartwarming. There are two charities that we actively support here at The Garter Girl: Wish Upon A Wedding and The Confetti Foundation.
Wish Upon A Wedding grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or a life-altering circumstance. I hand make a wedding garter for all of the Wish Upon A Wedding brides.
I also sit on the board of The Confetti Foundation who donates birthdays in a box and throws parties for children who are hospitalized. You can help kids who are stuck in the hospital by donating a birthday party right here.
So that's what I'm doing with my business to support the charities and causes that I care about. If you're getting married and planning a wedding there are lots o ways that you can support charities and causes that you care about with your wedding too. You can consider a donation to a nonprofit in lieu of wedding favors or even wedding gifts.
if you're looking to donate your wedding there are many things that you can do. The first thing to do is decide what causes or groups that are important to you that you'd be willing to consider supporting with your wedding dollars.
There are many levels to donating your wedding including donating money to charity in the name of loved ones or giving the money that would have otherwise been spent on favors or thank you gifts to charity all the way up to asking your guests to donate to charity the instead of giving you wedding gifts.
Some engaged couples, especially those who are older and don't need the money or have been married before and don't want to register for their wedding, will match their guests' donations to a designated charity of their choice in lieu of wedding gifts.
There is a wedding related non-profit called VOW for Girls that is dedicated to ending childhood marriage around the world. Yes, it is sad but true that there are girls who are forced into marriages that they do not want. Thousands of girls each year are forced into marriages and are unable to choose their own future.
VOW for Girls works with groups and non profits all over the world to end this practice of childhood marriage and give girls the hope and support they need to choose their own future.
If you are interested in learning more, you can check out VOW for Girls and consider donating your wedding to this worthwhile cause.
Options for couples planning a wedding include donating to VOW for Girls - or any other charity or cause you care about - instead of accepting wedding gifts, where you ask your wedding guests to donate to the charity.
You can also include a charitable donation option on your wedding registry, so your guests can choose if they want to donate to a charity that you choose or give you a wedding gift.
Another idea to donate your wedding is to donate the money that you would have otherwise spent on wedding favors to a charity or non profit that you care about. Many couples will put a note in their wedding ceremony program or on their wedding menu or put up a sign at the reception to let their guests know that a donation was made to a charity in lieu of traditional favors.
If donating your wedding or supporting a charity with your wedding is appealing to you, there are so many options and just like your wedding, it is entirely up to you and what you are comfortable with for your big day.
