Tips For Wedding Planning On Etsy

Before we get into it, we wanted to give you these five tips for planning your wedding on Etsy. 

1. Use The Favorites Button

If you see something you love or a shop that you don't want to forget about, simply use the favorites button. It's a little heart and it will add it to your list of favorites on Etsy. This way, you can save something if you aren't quite ready. 

2. Register For An Account

Once you do make a purchase, you'll have an account on Etsy. This will help with shipping and so that you won't have to entire your details each time. It's so much better and faster this way!

3. Start At The Beginning

It can be easy to get overwhelmed and super excited about the wrong things at the wrong times. Be sure to pace yourself and start at the beginning. Don't get the ceremony welcome sign before you even have a wedding planning binder

4. Custom Is Your Friend

The best part of Etsy is the customization options. If you see something that you love, but it isn't quite right, just ask. Most artists on Etsy love custom designs and would love to work with you to make you something amazing.

5. Etsy Has Everything You Need

Etsy truly has everything you need for your wedding from dresses to gifts for your parent to favors for your guests.
