heidi-go-seek: online coupons

heidzilla — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:30:20 +0000

do you groupon yet? well you should. what’s groupon? it’s daily deals that you have to buy into in order for the rest of the city to be able to get too. once they have enough people who are “in” then everyone gets the deal. kind of – click here for their information.

what does this have to do with wedding planning? well since i’ve joined a few months ago, there have been recent deals for:

salon services (pre-wedding massages, day-of hair dos?)
dancing lessons (prepare for that “first dance” or go as a group with your bridesmaids?)
restaurants (nights out or maybe for your rehearsal dinner… or what about thank you gifts to your family or bridal party members?)

i know of a myriad of great online resources, online coupons and enewsletters to get the inside scoop of deals but i haven’t seen as great of deals as i’ve seen recently on groupon. are you on twitter? you can follow groupon (and don’t forget to follow me too!)

what are your favorite online deal-getting resources?

heidi-go-seek: it’s that time again!

last year at this time i reminded you that easter is just around the corner (sunday, april 4, 2010.) i’m not telling you this for any religious purposes but because it’s the best time of the year to find extremely cute and affordable dresses for your flower girl!!! department stores have every color, style and price point: there are tons of sales currently so you can make your shopping a little easier for you and the bill a little easier for your flower girl’s benefactor .

here’s some favorites i’ve seen around town… based on the popular colors of the year:

$31.20 from $52 from macy’s

this one is not on sale (yet?) but it’s so darn cute, i want it in MY size!

from dillards.

don’t forget to try your other favorite clothing retails like target, baby/kids gap, jcpenney, sears/sears grand, or your local tjmaxx, burlington’s or big lots!

with all these past rainy saturdays, i keep thinking about the cute post-ceremony bridal party photos *avec les parapluies* that should be going on! i just saw these umbrellas at old navy last night (steelyard commons location, $9.50 each.) with these bright fun patterns, you can say bring on the rain!

don’t forget to check the weather, whether you’re hoping for sunshine or some good luck rain drops!
