    I'm super excited - FI & I are going to have a wedding garage sale to help pay for the wedding!  It'll be a great way for our families to collaborate on something before the wedding, get some stuff outta their closets, and to increase the wedding budget.

    Just wanted to share my lightbulb moment in case it might be useful to others Laughing

    This definitely wasn't what I was expecting when I saw this post! I think it's an awesome idea! We're planning on doing the same to help fund a project we want to do with our house...have a yard sale and get rid of a lot of stuff we just don't use anymore, and use whatever we make towards our new bathroom! I know it won't be a ton of money, but every little bit helps!

    We're having one afterwards ... I can't wait to clean out a lot of my old crapola stuff to make room for new registry items in the house.  Garage sale proceeds will go towards the hineymoon fund and/or completing the registries.

    That wasnt what I expected when I saw the title either :)  Good for you for being proactive about figuring out ways to come up with money for your wedding!
