Cashback on the wedding: save thousands of kroner on the big day

A Norwegian wedding costs on average somewhere between 150 000 and 350 000 kr, and even a scaled-down wedding easily lands at 60 000 to 80 000 kr. What makes weddings particularly suited to cashback is that the planning stretches over many months and that a large share of the buying happens online: outfits, rings, decorations, gifts and the honeymoon itself. If you click via Sparebørsen before each purchase throughout the engagement, the total reaches several thousand kroner you would otherwise never have seen again.

Outfits for the bride, the groom and the wedding party

A wedding dress or a suit, shoes, a bow tie or a tie, underwear, matching attendants: the outfits alone often come to 8 000 to 20 000 kr together. Much of this is ordered from online shops among the fashion partners. On 12 000 kr of outfits with 3% cashback that is 360 kr back, and if you buy during a sale the cashback sits on top of the discount. Remember to order in good time, with returns and alterations in mind.

Rings, decorations and the things that dress the day

Table decorations, string lights, napkins, thank-you cards, welcome signs and flowers on stands: the details quickly become an item of 5 000 to 10 000 kr. Much of it is available from the home and interiors partners. If you are buying electronics for the party, a speaker for the ceremony or a camera and printer setup for guest book photos, there is cashback to be had at the electronics partners as well.

The honeymoon: the single biggest item

The honeymoon is almost always the most expensive line on the list, and at the same time where cashback counts for most. Book hotels and experiences via the travel partners, where the rates typically sit between 1 and 4%. On a travel budget of 40 000 kr at 3% on average, that is 1 200 kr back, enough for a good dinner out at the destination.

How the sums might look

• Outfits and shoes 12 000 kr × 3% = 360 kr
• Decorations and details 7 000 kr × 3% = 210 kr
• Honeymoon 40 000 kr × 3% = 1 200 kr
• Gifts, guest hotel and other 8 000 kr × 2.5% = 200 kr

That is close to 2 000 kr back, without choosing a single cheaper option. You buy exactly what you had planned, just via us.
