Valpak® Partners with the 'Bridesmaid for Hire' to Provide Bridal Budget Tips

March 20, 2015 // Franchising.com // ST. PETERSBURG, FL - According to The Knot and a study that polled 16,000 brides, wedding costs are at an all-time high, with the average bride spending more than $31,000 on her big day. This bridal season, Valpak is excited to announce it has partnered with professional bridesmaid and well-known blogger, Jen Glantz, to help spread the word about savings tips for brides who are on a budget or looking for unique ways to cut costs for the big day.

Best known for her business, BridesmaidForHire.com, which started after an ad she posted on Craiglist went viral, Jen Glantz is a bridal expert offering professional bridesmaid services to brides across the country. Valpak has teamed up with Glantz to provide five top savings tips for brides looking for a budget break. Glantz and Valpak will host a Twitter Party on March 31 at 1 p.m. EST; follow @valpakcoupons and @TThingsILearned to participate.

  1. Think about getting married in the off-season. This will vary depending on where you’re getting married, as sometimes the summer may be too hot or the winter may be too cold. But if there’s a venue you’re dying to get married at, call them to see what their slow months are – then choose your date.
  2. Opt out of a Saturday wedding. Saturdays are the biggest days for weddings and events at any venue. Many times you can work out a discount if you choose a Friday, Sunday or date in the middle of the week – but make sure that you choose a date that works for your guests.
  3. Check Valpak.com for coupons. You can order bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres and anything else you need with Valpak.com coupon codes from partners at FTD and ProFlower. Both have an entire wedding collection for brides and grooms. Also look for local florists, local restaurants for rehearsal dinners, as well as pampering spots for your wedding party such as hair salons, nail salons and spas.
  4. Rent The Runway. If your bridesmaids are concerned about the cost of their dress, the great news is that they don’t have to buy an expensive dress they may not wear again. Instead, recommend they rent from Rent The Runway.
  5. Honeymoon Advance Planning. Brides on a budget will also want to maximize their honeymoon dollars by getting a great deal on travel. This is best accomplished by booking in advance and using coupon codes from Valpak partners that can save money on travel plans through Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Apple Vacations, and Southwest Vacations.

“Every bride deserves the wedding day she has always dreamed of and with a little planning and smart shopping, that dream can become a reality at any budget,” said Jen Glantz, founder of bridesmaid for hire. “During this bridal season, we encourage brides across the country to look for the best deals and coupons that fit their wedding budget.”

Valpak’s blue envelope to support the wedding planning season begins mailing this month to more than 40 million homes. On Valpak.com, brides and grooms can find a number of coupons for the big day. Additionally, Valpak is hosting a sweepstakes through April 24 where one lucky winner will win a vacation for two. The savings brand also encourages brides to share their dream registry board for a chance to win $1,000 during the “Register for Love Giveaway” on Pinterest.
