Finding Discount Wedding Cake Toppers

There are many small details of a wedding that can add up to big bucks. While some brides only try to save money on the big items, such as the gown and the reception, some wise brides have learned that by trying to save on all of the little details, the savings can quickly add up. Discount wedding cake toppers are one such detail.

If you have not yet searched for your cake topper, then you will probably be surprised to learn that some brides spend hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars on this one item.

There are toppers made of crystal and others painted with pure gold, but you do not have to spend a lot of money to find a topper that is perfect for you.

One bride fell in love with an elegant porcelain cake topper that was edged with gold. The cost was nearly $500, and the budget conscious bride knew that she was not willing to spend that much. As she was shopping in a dollar store one day, she stumbled upon a cake topper that looked exactly like the $500 version.

Of course, it was not made of porcelain and had no edges of gold, but it looked just the same and cost a grand total of one dollar and ten cents, including tax.

While not all discount wedding cake toppers will offer that much of a discount, there really is no reason to pay full price. By taking a little extra time to look, you will more than likely be able to find just what you want for less than retail.

Below are just a few ideas for places that you can find discount wedding cake toppers.

Auction Sites

Auction sites, such as Ebay, have thousands of wedding items, including cake toppers, for sale at any given time. While there are certainly great deals to be found, be sure to know the retail price before you bid on any auctions. Also, do not forget to include shipping costs to be sure that the total price you pay will still be less than retail.

Online Retailers

Because they have no overhead expenses, such as floor space and a large staff, online retailers can often offer discount wedding cake toppers for a fraction of what you would pay in a brick and mortar store.

There are often the exact same toppers you would find in a bridal salon, but for a much lower price. As mentioned above, be sure to consider any shipping and handling costs.

Classified Ads

While some items for your wedding should not be used, there is nothing wrong with gently used discount wedding cake toppers. Many former brides just want to rid their storage spaces and closets of all of their wedding paraphernalia. Many accomplish this by placing their items for sale in a classified ad, such as those found on Craig’s List.

Since most listings have photos, you will not have to waste your time driving all over town to see cake toppers that do not match what you want.

Items purchased from such classified ads can often be had for a tiny fraction of the retail price.

Taking the time to find discount wedding cake toppers is just one way to trim the cost of the small details of your weddings.
