But, now that most of it is all said, done and spent, you may be having a little buyer\u2019s remorse. If this is the case, why not make back some of your spending by selling on some of your wedding items? Here are some money saving ideas for after the wedding.<\/p>\n<h2>The Wedding dress<\/h2>\n<p>Probably the most resold item from a wedding, gone is the tradition of holding on to your dress for your future daughter. Although, vintage style and retro dresses are fairly on trend right now, the chances are a typical bodice strapless piece won\u2019t be what your daughter will want. If you\u2019re sentimental about the gown, keep it. But if your dress wasn\u2019t your most cherished memory, you could stand to make half of the money you spent back (considering how well kept or on trend it is).<\/p>\n<h2>Bulk D\u00e9cor<\/h2>\n<p>Runners, bunting, napkins, chalkboard signs, unused favours, table numbers\u2026 Stunning, but where are you going to keep them all? The answer\u2026 SELL! And fast too, <a title=\"wedding decor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/easy-wedding-diy-decor\/\">wedding d\u00e9cor<\/a> trends definitely come and go quickly so get it on eBay before it\u2019s too late! Keep a few little bits for home d\u00e9cor and scrap books, but everything else can go up for sale.<\/p>\n<h2>Unwanted Gifts<\/h2>\n<p>It may sound terrible, but what will you do with five vases? Most store&#8217;s gift receipts only offer an exchange on the item. Our verdict? Sell it on! Plenty of other people may love the idea of your unwanted gift and you shouldn\u2019t feel guilty about not using it (not that the person has to know). If you feel a little to mean selling it, why not re-gift it to someone who you know will love it? Everyone is happy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any big after wedding money saving ideas?
