Does it seem like autumn is inundating you with wedding invites? There’s a reason for that.
Fall/Winter is the most popular season for weddings, with the month of September taking the top prize at number one, and October coming in third.
That’s a lot of rice throwing and champagne toasting! It can also be a real challenge to the pocketbook.
Finding yourself stuck between that fantastic gift you know they’ll love and the less-than-fantastic price tags that come with them? Do we have an article for you – our editors got wind of an amazing place to find top quality designer brands at up to 70% off. The site is called Rue La La, and if you’re not familiar, it’s a members-only (don’t stress! sign up is 100% free) online shopping site that sells everything from apparel, to jewelry, to beauty products, to…you guessed it – great wedding gifts. How great? So great that they created an entire mini-shop on their site called, appropriately enough, The Registry Shop . Here you can find literally hundreds of cool items.
