Here are some money-saving tips for a busy summer full of events
The Toronto influencer known online as @torontoshay and co-founder of the Kensington Grey talent agency has two or three events scheduled every week, including some in New York and New Orleans.“Staying home during the pandemic was really great for wearing a lot of loungewear, not wearing a ton of makeup...It was great for my skin and for my pocket because I wasn’t shopping too much, but as events have had this resurgence, I am finding myself spending more.
Gayle Ramsay said the big question is: “How do you still get back to those — whether it’s baby showers or weddings — and be able to provide a gift and have the things that you haven’t done for a while and at the same time, how do you manage the costs with rising inflation?If you have money set aside in advance for a packed summer, it makes handling the costs easier, but also reveals areas you might have to cut back on, if you’re keen on making it to every event, she said.
Once one has figured out what invites to accept, there are ways to save on your outfit too, said the owner of Ottawa-based Kennedy Event Planning.Ingleton Smith agrees. Others recommend raiding a friend or family member’s closet, if you’re keen on varying your look. Some suggest turning to dress or suit rental services, though consumers must watch out for membership fees and rental prices that can sometimes cost as much as a new dress.
Ingleton Smith similarly recommended booking ahead, looking for deals and preparing for there to be more competition than there was in the last two years for flights, rental cars and accommodations.
