When a wedding, house-warming, baby shower, ọmọ bí, or náí shader invite arrives in your DM, the pàrìrì of “how I wan take do am” begins!
Consider the following scenario: Dami has just proposed to Salamatu, and the most notable owambe of the year is just around the corner. You know the drill: the invites have already been distributed, you’ve been added to the wedding Whatsapp group, and you must submit your ówó donation as soon as possible. With the áśọ ìgbàsókè, présẹńtì, and kólẹ́sàn for the spraying competition to consider, you’ll need to start some money calculations immediately!
Fear not. Here are 4 hacks that can help you slay every Owambe while keeping your wallet happy:
1) The Owambe Squad Shuffle: Get together with your friends and colleagues to make group aso-ebi purchases. Negotiate bulk discounts with merchants, then alternate who receives the “new” clothing/material each time.
2) Affordable Aso-Ebi Fabrics: Not all aso-ebi materials are made equally. Instead of going for the costliest brocade, consider some economical options such as Ankara or lace that still have that exquisite vibe to them
3) DIY: Bring out your inner designer! Revamp an existing outfit by tailoring it again, complementing it with fashionable accessories, personalising it with embellishments, or a combination of these.
4) Save up for future celebrations: With just a few taps in the app, you can set up an automated savings plan fitted to your budget and timeline. Whether you need to stack 50k or 500k for the big day, Lint has you covered. Transfers go straight from your account to your dedicated owambe purse. So anytime that invite comes around in the year, you already have some money stashed to finesse through.
You can celebrate Owambe with loved ones while staying on top of payments and duties. Plan ahead with these tips and you can focus on having fun while leaving financial stress behind.
