Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding If you don't have a huge money to blow up, don't worry. You can still have a stylish, fun, memorable wedding, while saving money at the same time.
Here are 15 ways to do just that Wedding Planning If you give yourself at least a year to book things like your venue and photographer, you have that much more time to shop around for the best price.
Reception Food and Drink Menu The best way to save on food, drink, and desserts for your wedding is to provide your own. Enlist your friends and family to help, and make sure that you don’t overextend yourself with complicated fare. Wedding Venue The only two things that are usually decided on before the wedding venue are whether or not to get married and the date. The wedding venue can be costly, but you can save a lot of money by getting married on a day other than Saturday and by finding a place outside the city limits.
Wedding Photographer and Videographer When your wedding is all said and done, you want to make sure that you have a keepsake that will remind you of every moment and every emotion of that day, which unfortunately can be very expensive. Wedding Ceremony and Reception Music It can be expensive to hire a professional musician, a band, or a DJ, but luckily there are many ways to save in this category. You can hire a student musician, or consider a friend or family member to perform.
Wedding Decoration It’s easy to go overboard and let the budget get out of control when decorating your venue, but luckily there are many ways to save.
Wedding Flowers Wedding flowers can cost thousands of dollars, but if you are frugal you can easily cut your flower bill down to only a couple hundred dollars and still have beautiful arrangements. Be smart about what types of flowers you choose, and think about how you can repurpose them throughout the wedding.
Ceremony Decorations Sometimes less is more, and this will help you keep the price of decorating your wedding ceremony venue reasonable. Keep in mind that depending on your venue, the setting itself may be all you need.
Reception Decorations The best way to save money on wedding reception decorations is to have a little fun with it. Get creative and pick a good, solid theme. Once you do that, everything else will fall into place.
Reception Table Center pieces Similar to the other reception decorations, this is another area where you can have a lot of fun but not have to spend much money, especially if you make all the center pieces yourself.
Wedding Attire Menswear Even though most people will be looking at the bride, it’s also important that the groom looks good. Bride’s Makeup Alternatively, you can buy your own makeup and do it yourself, but that also can be costly. Bride’s Hair Having a stylist come to you on your big day may be convenient, but the big bill may cause unwanted stress. Wedding Jewelry Wedding Dress Not only will there be an exchanging of rings during the wedding ceremony, but the bride will most likely want to wear a few pieces of jewelry to complement her wedding gown. It’s easy to get out of control when it comes to spending money on what is usually the bride’s favorite element of the wedding – her wedding dress.
Other Wedding Costs Wedding Favors Wedding Invitations It is traditional to give wedding favors to your guests as an appreciation for their loving support of your marriage. When you have a large wedding, the cost of favors can be fairly expensive, so consider making them yourself, by doing something as simple as bagging up some candy or burning a CD. The wedding invitations are another category where you can save a ton of money by doing part of it or all of it yourself. Consider providing your own cardstock to the printer or go electronic by sending out email invitations.
You will hopefully save a lot of money on your wedding using the above tips, but regardless, you will be spending some money on each and every one of your guests.
