I have almost come to the conclusion that Costco offers just about anything for your wedding. Now they are offering a $1 Million Dollar flawless diamond ring, go figure. Now you better hurry up because they only have one available! 
If you are one of the .05% of Americans that could afford this then it might be a good investment because the International Gemological Institute (IGI) values it at $1,496,255. Anyway, it is an absolutely gorgeous ring, but I would be a nervous wreck wearing it anywhere.
Here’s some other wedding related items I’ve seen so far:
Wedding Dresses
Well know Disney wedding dress designer, Kirstie Kelly, is having her Costco exclusive Signature collection dresses on sale starting at 40% during several bridal events at select Costco’s around the country. Here are a few upcoming dates that you can make an appointment for: Columbia, MD 8/18-8/21/11, Norwalk, CT 8/25-8/28/11, E. Jackssonville, FL 9/1-/4/11, and Brentwood, TN 9/8-9/11/11. If you have seen Kirstie Kelly’s dresses, you know that they are very classic and elegant, as a princess would want. You can see some pictures on the Costco website of the gowns here.
Invitations
Costco has team up with Wedding Paper Divas to offer Costso members wedding invitations, save-the-date cards, and accessories that are “high quality recycled cardstock” with decent prices (and %100 satisfaction quarantee). What’s nice is you can go and order 5 free samples to see if you like.
Flowers
For most weddings you need to buy in bulk for many guests, and what a better match than Costco for buying in bulk. Costco online offers flowers and center pieces at bulk prices. From the many five star reviews from brides I’ve read on the Costco website, you can feel confident and at ease that the money you spend will turn into a beautiful floral display at your wedding or reception. Also, what is great is that they have overnight delivery.
And let’s not forget the food and drink! Costco can whip up all kinds of party trays for your special day, and they have a spectacular selection of champagne and wine.
I guess if you are more of a DIY type of person and want to save money, Costco would be a good place to help you in making the wedding of your dreams come true. And I didn’t even mention the travel deals which would help on your honeymoon!

There’s no two ways about it: weddings are expensive. Paying for every detail is enough to drain any family’s financial coffers and – even worse – leave them wrestling with debt. Especially for new couples paying their own way during the wedding, the expenses quickly add up. The following is a traditional guide to dividing expenses equally and fairly among the four major participants in planning the four main parts of the wedding celebration: rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and honeymoon. These are guidelines more than rules, and are intended to show tradition more than carved-in-stone etiquette.
The Bride’s Family
There’s a popular misconception among the unmarried of the world that the bride’s family foots the entire bill. That’s not entirely true, though unfortunately it may feel that way for the father of the bride! Traditionally, the bride’s family finances the reception dinner with all its facets: the food, drink, venue, service staff (including tips), flower arrangements, wedding favors, and any other miscellany. The bride’s family also pays for many of the necessities leading up to the ceremony: these usually include the bridal gown, the wedding invitations and save-the-date reminders, as well as the engagement and wedding photographs. Finally (!) the wedding ceremony costs, the photographer and videographer fees, the cost of the ring bearer and flower girl accessories, the transportation costs and bridesmaids bouquets are all picked up by the bride’s family. Honestly… if you’re the parent of a young girl, start saving right now.
The Bride
Compared to her family, the bride gets off relatively easy. Brides traditionally pay for the groom’s wedding band, gifts for her bridesmaids, the bridesmaids’ luncheon, her blood test fees, and the wedding day lingerie. In the strictest traditional sense, the bride should also pay for her out-of-town bridesmaids accommodations.
The Groom
Okay, guys. Time to pony up. Following the engagement ring (that two-month’s salary guideline is passé, by the way) you’ve still got a few things left to buy. You’ll pay for the honeymoon, the marriage license, and gifts for your groomsmen. The gentleman groom, however, also pays for the bridal bouquet and corsages for your mother and your new mother-in-law. You’ll also pick up the boutonnieres, ties, and accessories for the groomsmen, and finally the bride’s wedding ring. Gifts for the ushers and for your parents go the extra distance to showing your class. You should also pay the honorarium for the judge, justice of the peace, or clergyman who officiates the ceremony, too.
The Groom’s Family
Besides their own attire, the groom’s family is responsible for the rehearsal dinner and all its details.
The Maid of Honor
Bachelorette parties and wedding showers are the responsibility of the maid of honor. This includes all the details, top to bottom.
The Best Man
The best man is master of ceremonies and godfather of the bachelor party, from the planning to the execution to pouring all the guests into cabs at the end of the night. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it.
The Groomsmen and Bridesmaids
Most of the attire – for example, the tuxedo rental and costs of the gown – are the responsibility of the individual wedding party member. They also give a gift to the newlyweds. Groomsmen arriving from out-of-town are also expected to pay for their accommodations. My Wedding Favors has a complete selection of elegant yet inexpensive wedding favors to fit any taste and style. We also carry a complete selection of groomsmen and bridesmaids gifts. Visit us online at www.myweddingfavors.com to browse our complete catalog.
