No one will argue that weddings aren't expensive. But local entrepreneurs Amanda Sudimack and Tina Thomure found a way to help couples save money before they share nuptials. They created Wed•OBO (that's "Or Best Offer" for you non-shoppers) to be a sort of Groupon-like site to help people planning weddings connect with smaller business owners. The current offer is an amazing deal for wedding invitations from Girl Metro.
