Getting married AND saving money. Sound impossible? It’s not; you can do it using our wedding money saving tips.
Let’s start with one of the biggest expenses, the Reception! Everyone wants the reception to be the time of their life, beautifully decorated, good food, and fabulous entertainment.
Food – You can save money on your wedding by having it catered.
The cost of catering compared to having your reception at a traditional reception venue will save you a considerable amount of your budget. You may even be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the catered products. I’ve found over the years most private catering services offer better products then traditional venues. By the way, you can get more then you expect for less money.
My all time favorite in my local area is Munleys Grove and Catering. www.munleysgrove.com
Always a good time with great food and service.
Renting a hall or using an existing family member’s yard with tents and having a caterer bring prepared foods can save you a bundle. Price around for local caterers.
Providing your own beverages, alcohol and non alcoholic drinks, and hiring a friend to bartend, again will be an extraordinary wedding money saving tip to use.
Decorations –
Whether you decide to stay indoors or outdoors, tablecloths, napkins, party favors, and centerpieces are all items that you can find at reduced prices in stores like ACMoore, TJ Max, Marshalls, Dollar General (yes the $1 Store).
Once you start shopping you’ll be amazed at how many wedding money saving tips you can use.
A Wedding is one of the most important events in one’s life but the fact remains that your wedding will be the one which will give you a maximum amount of stress and a whole lot of sleepless nights.
The reason being that generally a wedding is such a grand affair and there are so many aspects to a wedding that it will be impossible to find responsibilities that you can leave to others. Yes, without a doubt you will need the help of others, but then again, since it is your wedding you will have to make the maximum effort and try not to get stressed out.
Use our wedding money saving tips so that you can enjoy the wedding planning process.
Timing is of the essence. So make sure that you start planning the wedding very early. Start planning your wedding a year in advance or more if you have the time. This tip is even more important if you are having a destination wedding.
Finding your perfect wedding dress is another thing that will take more time then you could imagine.
So start searching for your perfect wedding dress as soon as you are engaged. Shop online and at local shops to get ideas, shop e-bay if you’re looking to save on your wedding dress.
Getting your alterations done is going to take longer then you may think.
You may even end up going back a couple of times.
Next make sure that you send out your save the date cards to all the guests early.
This tip will help you finalize the guest list earlier.
If you’re planning on hiring the help of a wedding planner then make sure the wedding planner is available. Make contacting perspective candidates one of the first things you do. Almost all the good wedding planners have bookings well in advance of two years, so make sure that you finalize the date of the wedding based on what’s important to you.
If you’re planning on having a wedding in another state or country, search the internet and check into local venues and hotels.
Do your homework on the area you’re going to. You may even want to fly or drive to the destination at least once to see hotel availability as well as look into local venues.
Check into the different wedding packages available. Get them to give you something extra in your package for the same cost.
This tip is a must as destination weddings may cost you a lot more.
Arrive at the venue a few days early so that you’ll able to take care of any last minute wedding arrangements.
