Garage Sale Invitation & Sales Tags

It’s time to get your sweetie all excited about your garage sale shopping date! Simply print and cut out the invitation and Sales Tags.

The invitation reads, “You are invited to a Garage Sale Date! Here’s the deal: You get $___. I get $___. We will each buy something for the other person to wear. (Shirt, glasses, jewelry, wig — get creative!) Then, wearing our new treasures, join me for lunch and a playful photoshoot!”

That’s right! You each get to buy something for the other person to wear! Isn’t that just so fun?! Now, decide how much money you will each get to spend, then fill out the dollar amount on the invitation in the space provided. Finally, give the invitation to your honey, or leave it somewhere for them to find. You can also leave the cute Sales Tags nearby for decoration.

If you want to leave it somewhere for them to find, try these fun ideas! You can decorate the steering wheel and dash of your lover’s car by simply placing or taping on the invitation and Sales Tags. Another cute idea would be to tape the invitation and Sales Tags to the bathroom mirror. Both are sure to be places they will notice!

Cash Envelope

Since you are going to a garage sale, you will need some cash. But, even though many people use mobile payments nowadays, you shouldn’t count on that being the case. Most garage sales still operate on cash only. So, of course, you will need a cute place to store that moolah!

This darling cash envelope reads, “I like BIG SALES, and I cannot lie!” This envelope may or may not have you and your lover quoting song lyrics all day long! We promise it won’t take long for one of you to point out a garage sale and say, “OMG! Becky, look at her garage sale! It is so big!” Don’t say we didn’t warn you! 😉

Print out the envelope twice, so each of you has one to carry your money. After printing, simply cut and follow the easy instructions on the printable to fold and glue your envelopes. Then, slip your bills inside.

Lastly, open your mobile browser and search for “garage sale near me.” You are likely to stumble upon a variety of options, especially on a weekend with nice weather!

Photo Booth Props

So now that you have found a garage sale to visit, you are ready to start hunting for the best treasures for your sweetheart to wear. Be creative! Be daring! Some ideas could include a shirt, a wig, a hat, jewelry, glasses, etc. You are sure to find some absolutely wonderful things!

After discovering something for your love, pull out your cash envelope and purchase your awesome finds. If you feel the need to haggle, go for it! However, don’t feel any pressure to do so if it makes you uncomfortable.

Now, it’s time to present your treasures to each other! Remember to try to be a good sport and get ready for some laughs!

After donning your new accessories, it’s time for a photoshoot! Make sure to print and cut out the delightful photo booth props to hold for the picture. They will add the perfect touch to your garage sale date photos!

Bonus: Bedroom Bargaining Game

Finally, it’s time to wrap up your community garage sale shopping with some bargaining in the bedroom. Play a spicy game of Bedroom Bargaining This or That (instructions below!) You each get only one haggle… Use it well!
