Probably the most money you will spend for a single day will be that for your wedding; over 25 billion dollars is spent each year on weddings, with an average 20-25,000 spent on each. This figure is not surprising when people hire expensive limousines, florists, caterers and stationery, not to mention the cost of outfits for the day; carried out properly, the majority of guests will not even realize they have attended a ‘cheap wedding’. A little guidance and cost saving ideas could make it all possible; which should promise a fantastic day for less!
A Used Bespoke Wedding Dresses
Almost never considered are the costs associated with the hand made wedding dress; many brides sell their dress soon after they are married and this is a sensible way to reduce the cost. The huge cost of a new wedding dress cannot always be justified these days; many bridal shops carry a large number of previously owned dresses that can be hired or bought for considerably less than new.
The Reception
The biggest savings can be made with the reception; when you start to arrange your cheap wedding, pay careful attention to the number of guests you want to invite. You can reduce the number of people attending by not inviting those who are only at the periphery of your life which can include distant relatives; when it comes to the meal, instead a four course silver service, why not arrange a hot or cold buffet.
Although it is nice to hold the wedding reception in a beautiful hotel, this can be another huge expense but alternatives exist; there are many clubs that would be perfectly suitable or even the home of a good friend or relative that is large enough.
Wedding Pictures
Photographers are expensive but there is generally no need to hire one for the whole day; why not have your friends and relatives take pictures during the reception. An alternative would be to go one step further and not bother with the expense of a photographer at all; why not ask your guests to take photographs of the occasion all day?
Online Contemporary Wedding Invitations
Other areas where you can be assured of saving money is wedding invitations and other stationery; today’s home computers and printers are able to provide near professional results. Many people are now competent enough to produce near professional quality work; problems and errors can be corrected quickly without regular visits to the printers.With sophisticated customization tools you’ll be able to enter your own text and preview it before you print; so as not to make any costly mistakes, all from the benefit of your probably underused PC.
Floral Arrangements
If you want to reduce the cost of flowers, then how about this for an option; why not visit the local flower wholesaler where huge savings are possible, then all that’s needed is a little imagination when it comes to the display. There is no reason why a friend or relative can’t bake the wedding cake; this will save more money plus the traditional fruit cake does not have to be used as there are many other fillings that people enjoy.
The Transportation
Although it is nice to have a luxury limousine to transport you to the wedding, a friend’s car can be just as special but at less cost; they will probably jump at the chance.
If you use this advice your cheap wedding is possible; providing your guests enjoy it, that is all that matters!
