Mrs. Cinnamon Bun, Calgary, Alberta
Age and Occupation: 26, Stage Manager
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Theatre Technician
Engagement Date: June 22, 2010
Wedding Date: June 2011
Venue: Calgary Opera Centre
About Me: I'm a life-long crafter and bookworm living in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Some of my loves include Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, knitting, opera, musicals, Etsy, baking, and of course, Mr. Cinnamon Buns. We're keeping our wedding close to home---the venue isn't very far from our house, and we live within walking distance of 6 bridal salons. I'm using the wedding as an excuse to try out every craft project I possibly can, with the endless help and support of my fiance.
Even if you don’t define yourself as a “budget bride,” and even if you’re not putting together the best party you can get for $1000, I’m sure you’re looking for bargains. I’ve finally hopped on to one of the latest shopping trends, and I’ve been getting some great wedding deals!
The trend is social buying. Basically, the website advertises great deals on just about anything, but a certain number of people have to sign up to buy it before the deal goes live. Once they’ve reached their tipping point, the deal is for realsies and people can keep on buying the coupon until the deal expires. All that technical stuff (how many people is the tipping point, what the deal is, how long it is available) is agreed on by the vendor and the website. There are lots of different sites, most are divided up by city, because there is no point me buying a discounted yoga membership to a place in NYC if I live in Calgary, now is there?
I imagine they’re great for the businesses involved because they get that money up front, it gets their business out to tonnes of people, and I’m sure they are hoping that some people will forget about the coupon until after the expiration date. I’m certain there is some percentage of that going on!
There’s a really great graphic here that I don’t want to steal, but think you should look at! It shows all the various social buying sites that have popped up over the years in a really cool way.
So anyway, how have these sites helped me with the wedding?

Mrs. Brooch, Arlington, VA
Age and Occupation: 25, Writer/Editor
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Front Desk Manager
Engagement Date: October 3, 2009
Wedding Date: April 2011
Venue: Oxon Hill Manor
About Me: I’m an indecisive girlie-girl with a motor mouth, can-do attitude, and knack for making others laugh. I dream of becoming a best selling novelist like Elizabeth Gilbert or Julie Powell (a girl can dream, right?), and love long road trips, a beautiful countryside, music, blogs, books, and all things vintage/thrift/antique/or homemade. I’m a Virgo, i.e. overly sensitive, emotional, and critical, and there’s no such thing as short and sweet in my world. I want to say and do it all. Mr. Brooch grounds me. I point where to go and he figures out the way. He’s a pragmatic fancy-pants who enjoys video games and movies. We both adore our mutt, Rocky, and spending time with our amazingly supportive family and friends. We’re planning a garden wedding with a formal reception with lots of whimsy and unique, Southern-inspired details.
…is after Christmas, when Victoria’s Secret celebrates their Semi-Annual Sale…
I’m not sure about you guys, but I want a fresh wardrobe of bras and panties when I cross over from Miss to Mrs.! I know it seems silly since he’s seen it all before (*ahem*), but there’s something about wearing a new set that makes me feel new, special, and sexy, which is EXACTLY how I want to feel on our honeymoon.
