Wedding Planning Site of the Week: Ebay

Alright, I know it’s not a wedding planning site, but I end up spending so much time there looking for great deals for my brides!  I’m all about supporting local businesses, but if there is a specific item that I am going to purchase online, I check out the prices on Ebay first.  I know this might sound obvious, but make sure you check the price with shipping.  I was looking for something the other day and found it for $4.99 – by far the best price for that item – but the shipping would have been $30!  What???  Needless to say I didn’t buy that item.  I found it from another seller for $13 with $5 shipping.

I also use ebay to get ideas.  Sometimes I just search weddings and see what comes up.  I look through and think about how I would use those items in a design or how it could add something special to a wedding.

In any case, Ebay is a great resource for brides and planners alike.  You can find almost any item under the sun for a great price, and you can often buy in bulk.   Happy Planning!
