…to buy wedding bands? Am I crazy to buy bands now even though I’m not getting married till October?

If you can afford it and have found the band already, why not buy it? I’ll be buying mine around June, and I’m not getting married until next February!

I agree! If you find one and have the money for it, you might as well buy it! We bought our bands about 4 months before the wedding. Had we had the $$ sooner, we might have bought it sooner.

We’re already looking and shopping around for a year from now. 🙂 I think we’ll probably buy it sometime before or during this summer. So no, I don’t see why it would be too early?

If it’s the bands you both want, and you can afford them, I see no logical reason not to buy them.

Buy now before the price of gold goes up!

We’re getting married in October, but we bought my band before Christmas. Found it on clearance at Osterman’s and I am in lust with it. So if you find a good deal, go for it!

Thanks everyone! I have the money saved up now and have found what I think are the best prices for the rings. It seems really early for some reason, so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t acting prematurely. It took me a while to find them at the prices I like, and I don’t want to lose those deals (of course, it could go the other way, but I’m pretty happy with this price point!)

 

@BanditGirl: Sage advice, LOL!

I think as long as you know what you want and you’re not one to change your mind constantly, it’s fine to buy early. We bought ours pretty early, but we both knew we were just going to go with simple, white gold rings from the beginning.

@artbee:This is a good point. I’m buying his because he is sold on them and is not one to change his mind easily about something like this. Mine will likely take a little longer to decide on, so we’re holding off for now.

WEll what I did was buy gift certificates for the store I knew I’d buy the band at. I was going to just hold onto them but I found out Birks had a great sale on and I bought my band a year and a half early.

Bought the band last month, getting married May 2012. So no, not too early.

I don’t think it’s too early at all!  If you’re ready and have the money-go for it.

@MsCotton: Not crazy at ALL if you’ve found one you love! I’m getting married in November & am about to purchase mine… just something else to take off your list 🙂

@MsCotton: Hell-to-the-no, I say! We’ve already been looking, and most likely I’ll have to have something custom made. You are so not early! I think you can get them anytime. Plus our local jeweler is letting us put ours on “lay-away” so to speak… So we can pay on them as long as we need. Which is great. (Ballin’ on a budget over here)
