Wedding Deals And Savings (Updated for July 2020)

As I've mentioned before, I usually don't post deals on the blog. Yes, it's about saving money, but I try to keep deals on Twitter or Facebook because deals expire and posts on this blog last forever. But people were really happy with the wedding deals and savings I posted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I decided to put together this monthly post of wedding deals and savings.

It is updated every month with the current deals and coupon codes. The post is separated into three sections: Wedding Stationery Deals, Wedding Deals (for anything other than stationery), and Wedding Freebies.

No matter what you are up to in the planning process, this list is sure to help you out.

BRIDAL BABBLE: What are you looking for savings on?

If you love this Homemade Pudding Cups recipe, be sure to Yum it here: Yum

I like dessert a lot. It's my favorite part of eating, really. Sometimes I'll eat lunch only so I can get to dessert. So if I'm planning a party. you can rest assured that I will have dessert covered. Dinner may be an afterthought, but there will be dessert.

If you're planning a bridal shower, you can have dessert covered too. Just make our homemade pudding cups. This homemade pudding cups recipe is so easy, and you probably have all the ingredients for it in your kitchen right now (I did).

Homemade Pudding Cups (perfect for bridal showers)

What's great about this recipe is you can make it ahead of time, then keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it at the bridal shower you're hosing.

What You'll Need:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons real vanilla
• Mini chocolate chips
• Whipped cream

What You'll Do:

Separate the eggs. Put the whites in a container to save them. You don't need them for this recipe, but you could use them for breakfast tomorrow.

Whisk the egg yolks by hand for about a minute until they start to foam up. Whisk in the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of milk.

Set aside.

Put sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and the rest of the milk in a sauce pan. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbles start to form, stirring constantly. 

Remove from heat. Slowly pour 1/4 cup into the bowl with the egg yolks. Stir quickly until completely combined. Repeat four times.

Pour the contents of the bowl back into the sauce pan and cook on high until it reaches a full boil. Turn the heat down and it will basically thicken instantly. Stir it, then remove from heat.

Stir in the vanilla.

Pour it into a cool plastic bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure to press the plastic wrap on to the surface of the pudding.

Set it in the fridge for about three hours.

Using an ice cream scoop, place three scoopfuls into a 4oz. mason jar.

Top with a layer of mini chocolate chips.

Add a generous helping of whipped cream and drop on a few extra mini chocolate chips.

Serve immediately (before the whipped cream starts to melt).

Best toppings for homemade pudding cups:

I topped our homemade pudding cups with chocolate chips and whipped cream. But you could also top them with:

• Homemade sprinkles
• Crushed nuts
• Crushed vanilla wafer cookies
• Homemade Chocolate Shell
• Homemade chocolate sauce

How long does homemade pudding last?

Homemade pudding will last in the refrigerator for up to one week. So if you're planning a bridal shower and you have other things to do, know you can make this homemade pudding ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.

Of course, if you do that, be sure to store it in an air tight container. And don't spoon it into the mason jars until you're ready to serve.

The 10 Best Father/Daughter Wedding Dance Song Ideas

One of my favorite parts of a wedding is the father/daughter dance. Just watching a dad and his little girl -- who is not so little but will always be a little girl to him -- oh. my. heart. It just gets me every time. But honestly, no one is really listening to the father/daughter wedding dance song.

I know. I know. You spend so much time picking the right song for every moment of your wedding, but no one is really listening. Everyone just gets swept up in the emotion of the moment.

And if you actually pick the right songs, they bring up those emotions. They make your wedding guests feel that moment. And that's why picking the perfect father/daughter dance song is so important. You don't need anyone to listen; you need everyone to feel.

A few months after our wedding, while at another, my dad asked me what song we even danced to. Even he wasn't listening.

But I promise you, he was in that moment.

So to help you out, I put together a list of the 10 best father/daughter wedding dance song ideas.

I added a YouTube video of each song so you could play it and listen to it, a link to where you can purchase the song (so you can practice dancing and so you can assure your band or DJ has the song), and a lyric from each song that showcases why it's the perfect father/daughter wedding dance song choice.

Except for the song I picked for me and my dad. I couldn't just put a lyric. It's, like, a third of the song. But really, that's not bad. I could have pasted the whole entire darn song there because every lyrics is absolutely perfect.

That's why I picked it. Even if no one was really listening.

The 10 Best Father/Daughter Dance Song Ideas

The top song is the one we danced to, so of course, that's number one. None of the other songs are actually in order.

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman

Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand

Just glowing and telling us all they had planned

She says,

"Dad, the wedding's still six months away

But I need to practice my dancing

Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh, I will dance with Cinderella

I don't wanna miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

I Loved Her First - Heartland

I Loved Her First - Heartland mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

From the first breath she breathed

When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep

And I prayed that she'd find you someday

But it's still hard to give her away

I loved her first

Unforgettable - Natalie Cole & Nat King Cole

Unforgettable - Natalie Cole & Nat King Cole mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way

And forever more, that's how you'll stay

Landslide -- Fleetwood Mac

Landslide -- Fleetwood Mac mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older

And I'm gettin' older, too

Dance With My Father - Celine Dion

Dance With My Father - Celine Dion mp3

So, Dance With My Father is originally done by Luther Vandross, but the Celine Dion version is so perfect for weddings since it is a woman singing about her father.

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high

And dance with my mother and me

And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

My Wish - Rascal Flatts

My Wish - Rascal Flatts mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too

My Girl - The Temptations

My Girl - The Temptations mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

Well I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker

You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker mp3

Top lyrics for a father daughter dance:

You are so beautiful

To me

Can't you see

You're everything I hoped for

My Little Girl - Tim McGraw

My Little Girl - Tim McGraw mp3

Top lyric for a father daughter dance:

Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you'll always be my little girl

Other Father/Daughter Dance Songs To Consider:

There are a bunch of other father daughter dance songs out there that are good too, but not considered to be my top ten.

So, to give you a couple more ideas, here are an additional ten songs that are really popular with brides and fathers ... just not ones that are my top ten.

• Stealing Cinderella by Chuck Wicks
• Soulshine by The Allman Brothers
• Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
• Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison
• Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder
• God Only Knows by The Beach Boys
• Daughters by John Meyer
