Weddings are becoming too commercialized, and as sad it may sound, for ecommerce businesses, it’s a significant win.
Planning a wedding in the 20th century comes with socially standards, including the portrayal of material things when it comes to planning the big day.
Expensive details not only include over the top centerpieces but personalized gear and/or gifts for all the stages of the wedding journey.
Engagement mugs to honeymoon swag. I can assure you there is a want for personalized apparel for every moment.
For an ecommerce seller, this is good news. You can design wedding apparel for those couples who desire to add a touch of the personalized items to their wedding journey.

Wedding journey events (stages)

If you don’t know much about weddings, let me give you a load down on how things in North America work.
North America  

1. Engagement Party – Not everyone has an engagement party. Still, many couples do, it’s a perfect time to announce the upcoming union of two people to family and friends. Some couples like to keep the budget low, and they opt for an unofficial, no fancy clothes, come as you are a type of party. Perfect time to rep ‘Just Engaged’ T-shirts.

2. Bridal / Couple’s Shower – Depending on what the couple decides, it is either an all-female celebration or close family and friends of both sides. Whoever hosts the party is likely to hand out party favors as a kind gesture and thank you from the bride. Usually, it can be anything from small treats to mugs.

3. Bachelor / Bachelorette Party – This is your most significant opportunity in terms of swag. According to Wedding Wire, the average cost of a bachelorette party is $350 or more.  According to a study, more than a third of bachelorette parties include favors and/or customized gear, such as t-shirts, ball caps, temporary tats, and more.

4. Rehearsal Dinner – A relaxed rehearsal dinner before the event might just as been a thing some couples need.

5. The Wedding – The day of comes and go in the blink of an eye, pre-wedding jitters, and preparations can take a toll on the bride/groom itself. You can design products like mugs and beer stains to keep the wedding party hydrated.

5. Honeymoon – The bliss of newly married status is in full swing. The majority of couples opt-in for romantic destinations with beautiful beaches and exotic foods. Honeymooners that seek out destinations near water don’t usually need a ton of clothes. Generally, they opt-in for a few fancy dinner species, and everything else is an open book. Think about adding tank tops, ball caps, coolers, tote bags, stainless steel water bottles, and travel luggage tags.
