Your Holiday Season Savings Guide
The holidays aren’t just about cozy sweaters and peppermint mochas – they’re also the perfect time to snag incredible deals that can make your wedding or event planning journey smoother (and more budget-friendly!). At Divas with the Details, we love helping our clients save time, stress, and money. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best seasonal steals you’ll definitely want to bookmark.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday…and Beyond
Let’s be real – these shopping days are basically the Super Bowl of sales. But here’s the secret: many stores start their Black Friday sales early (sometimes weeks ahead of Thanksgiving), so don’t wait until the actual day to start browsing. For couples preparing to tie the knot, this is the perfect chance to grab wedding essentials without blowing the budget.
- Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Gifts: Stocking up on jewelry sets, getting-ready robes, or personalized tumblers ensures you’ll have incredibly thoughtful gifts ready for your squad without paying full price.
- Frames & Keepsakes: Discounted photo frames, shadow boxes, or albums aren’t just for displaying engagement photos – they can double as décor. Use them for table numbers, seating charts, or even on a memory table honoring loved ones. After the wedding, they transition beautifully into keepsakes for your home.
- Travel Essentials: Snagging luggage, carry‑ons, packing cubes, and noise‑canceling headphones now means you’ll be ready to go when it comes time for your honeymoon or next adventure.
- Décor & DIY Finds: Amazon and craft stores slash prices on fairy lights, signage, table runners, and centerpiece supplies. This is ideal for couples who love a hands-on approach.
- Tech & Tools: Tablets, laptops, and projectors can make your planning process easier, or even enhance your reception setup (think slideshow of engagement photos, or even a fun montage of your love story).
- Self-Care Splurges: Spa gift sets or beauty tools (like hair dryers or curling irons) can double as pampering gifts for yourself or your bridal party.
- Gift Card Promos: Many retailers run holiday specials like “buy $100, get $120”. These can be a smart way to stretch your budget for rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, or even honeymoon splurges.
Divas Tip: Don’t forget about Small Business Saturday – it’s the perfect chance to support local shops and vendors who may offer unique event décor, favors, or gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
Travel Tuesday: Honeymoon & Vacation Planning
Did you know that holiday deal week isn’t just about shopping – it’s also one of the best times to book travel? Travel Tuesday is when airlines, resorts, and travel companies roll out some of their biggest discounts of the year.
- Why it matters: Booking early can lock in lower rates for flights, hotels, or excursions that might otherwise skyrocket closer to your trip.
- Smart uses: Couples often use Travel Tuesday to secure their honeymoon, but it’s also a great time for anniversary trips, family vacations, or even a quick weekend getaway.
- What to look for: Pay attention to package deals that bundle flights + hotels, or limited‑time offers on popular destinations. These can save you hundreds compared to booking separately.
How Divas can help: One of our very own, Erica Tidman, specializes in travel planning. She can:
- Tailor honeymoons to your style, whether that’s a beach escape, European adventure, or something unique.
- Plan vacations for couples, families, or solo travelers who want to take advantage of Travel Tuesday deals.
- Spot the real deals so you don’t waste time on offers that look good but aren’t truly valuable.
- Handle logistics like flights, hotels, and excursions so you can focus on the fun.

Registry Completion Discounts + Holiday Sales = Double Savings
If you’ve recently tied the knot, don’t forget about your registry perks! Wedding registry websites like Zola and Amazon offer registry completion discounts – special deals for couples to purchase items they didn’t receive as gifts.
- Zola: Often around 20% off remaining registry items.
- Amazon: Typically 10–20% off for up to six months after your wedding date.
Divas Tip: Stack these discounts with Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, and you could save twice the amount on big-ticket items like kitchen appliances, furniture, or honeymoon essentials.
Spotlight Deal: After the Tone (Audio Guest Book)
We’re thrilled to announce our exclusive partnership with After the Tone – the modern twist on the traditional guest book. Instead of signing a page, your guests leave heartfelt (and often hilarious) audio messages that you’ll cherish forever.
- Holiday Deal: Use our custom promo code DWTD10 at checkout for 10% off your After the Tone booking.
- Booking Link: Click here to book with DWTD10.
- Why it’s fabulous: It’s personal, unique, and a keepsake that captures the voices and emotions of your big day.
