Create an account to join the exchange. As a member, you’ll be able to able to ask for items you need, or give items away. You’ll coordinate a pick-up or drop off that works best for you, or simply ask for advice and read through the forums for guidance. It’s completely free to join, and all items listed are given or borrowed- no bartering, renting, or selling. We want people to choose to use pre-loved items before buying new, and if things are free, people will be more drawn to do that. Plus, there’s plenty of wedding supplies to go around- why not share?

I’M A WEDDING VENDOR/PROFESSIONAL – IS IT OKAY FOR ME TO JOIN?
Yes, absolutely! Our only ask of wedding professionals is that you don’t ask for items that you later intend to sell or rent. If you are getting an item that you can use in your business or use for a client’s wedding, that’s allowed, but we hope you will consider offering up items any time you’re done using them or have an excess of items left over after a wedding.
I HAVE ITEMS TO GIVE THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR A WEDDING, BUT I’M NOT MARRIED/RECENTLY MARRIED – IS IT OKAY FOR ME TO JOIN?
Yes, absolutely! Anyone with items to gift that might be useful for a wedding is welcome to join. This can mean a wide range of items, but some examples might include: decor, DIY/crafting materials, bar or catering related items, floral supplies, etc.
