Black Friday Deals You Need for Wedding Planning: Dress Sales, Honeymoon Discounts and More

As the turkey and stuffing settles in Thanksgiving Day, a very different holiday tradition will pick right back up on Friday, November 23. Next weekend, consumers are expected to spend an average amount of $803 over the course of Black Friday weekend into Cyber Monday, according to RetailMeNot. That statistic is up from $743 in 2017.

The brand’s shopping and trends expert, Sara Skirboll, offers up a few suggestions on the sales that are worth pursuing–some, which are incredibly relevant to your wedding planning purposes–spanning from registry items to honeymoon steals and more. “Electronics will sell out the fastest on Black Friday,” Skirboll tells The Knot. Your registry-friendly appliances, meanwhile, will also be available at steep discounts, so guests should be on high alert. “Look for items like coffeemakers, electric skillets, slow cookers, toasters, deep fryers, blenders and rice makers,” she suggests.

If your time frame for your honeymoon is flexible—especially if it’s a latermoon or a manymoon—that openness to scheduling is in couples’s favors on Black Friday. According to Skirboll, hotels and car rental companies will offer up packages at discounts. Below, we round up all the best steals for your wedding planning needs—and beyond.
