Black Friday Deals You Need for Wedding Planning: Dress Sales, Honeymoon Discounts and More
As the turkey and stuffing settles on Thanksgiving Day, a very different holiday tradition will pick up Friday, November 23. This week, consumers are expected to spend an average amount of $803 over the course of Black Friday weekend into Cyber Monday, according to RetailMeNot, a statistic that’s up from $743 in 2017.
The brand’s shopping and trends expert Sara Skirboll provides a few suggestions on the sales that are worth pursuing–some, which are incredibly relevant to your wedding planning needs, spanning from registry items to honeymoon steals and more. “Electronics will sell out the fastest on Black Friday,” Skirboll tells The Knot. And many registry-friendly appliances will also be available at steep discounts, so guests should be on high alert. “Look for items like coffeemakers, electric skillets, slow cookers, toasters, deep fryers, blenders and rice makers,” she suggests.
If your time frame for the honeymoon is flexible—especially if it’s a latermoon or a manymoon—such openness to scheduling will work in your favor on Black Friday. According to Skirboll, hotels and car rental companies are offering complete packages at considerable discounts. Below, we round up all the best steals for your wedding planning and bachelorette activities—and beyond.
