Bridal Bailout I of IV: Your Time Equals Money

With everything going on with the economy, I understand your reservation about spending money on what you may consider a luxury. That makes sense. But I am here to tell you that now more than ever, things are on SALE. We are inundated with signs saying "everything must go", "buy one and get the other 50% off", just to name a few. It seems like everyone, from brick and mortar stores to online retailers, have a sale this season...and wedding vendors do as well. So take advantage of it.

It may require a little more time on your part but as the saying goes, "time equals (more) money"...in your pocket. Most wedding vendors offer discounts to individuals who:

1. attended an Expo or bridal showcase where the vendor had a table
2. signed up to for the vendor's newsletter to receive special offers, or
3. noticed the vendor's ad in a bridal publication or on a website

The key to remember is most vendors invest money in attending shows and/or advertising. When you mention how or where you saw them and book an event with them, they know that investment was a good one for them...and for you as well.

So take advantage of these "sales". Yes, it will take some time (attending an expo, sorting through emails you receive after subscribing on a vendor's website, or going online to find local vendors) but it is worth it...and it's FREE.
