Hey friends, Kate here. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to take advantage of Black Friday deals to save money on your wedding without falling into the trap of buying things you don’t actually need.

Whether you’re newly engaged or halfway through planning, Black Friday can be an amazing time to save on wedding items, décor, gifts, and even honeymoon essentials. The key is knowing what’s worth grabbing and what’s better to skip.

We’ll also cover how to avoid the most common impulse-buy mistakes that cost couples money instead of saving it.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear strategy for shopping smarter and stretching your wedding budget further—without sacrificing style.
