Saving money on Weddings

A wedding is one of the biggest occasions in a person's life but it's soooo expensive! Good news is, there are great ways of cutting down costs without sacrificing the quality of the wedding.


1. Cut down on the invitations

Having a bunch of people that you or your partner hardly know come to the wedding is a waste of good food and space. Stick to your immediate family and your closest friends.

2. Call on your friends

They are coming to your wedding right? Well then get them together and save on time and money with the labour. Ask your friends to help you shop and look for ways that you can save even more money. Female friends work the best here as they are more commonly found in fashion places and boutiques.

 3. Plan the wedding on another day

Scheduling your wedding on a different day of the week can save you money as for certain days you pay more due to a higher demand of weddings. If this is not possible, move on to the next money saving tip.

4. Talk to your caterer

Keeping in contact with your caterer could be a very good idea. Tell him what your budgeting and ask him to help you in your decision. You can get the best bottle of champagne for a 30 dollars but you might find another for 5 dollars that taste the same.

5. Get creative

Throw a pitch-in party where you invite some friends for a party and they make a donation to make your wedding extra special.

6. Cut down on the decorations

Having a church full of rose petals is not a necessity. Cut down on some streamers etc and you will still have a beautiful wedding.

7. Rent a dress

Its a quite common fact that the bride usually wants to keep the wedding dress so why not rent dresses for the brides-maid instead of buying it. You can also look for sample wedding dresses for cheaper or you could ask one of your divorced friend to sell their dress to you.

8. Plan far ahead

Make sure that your ready for your special day so that you don't need to go buy the most expensive stuff just because you are in a hurry to get things done. Effective budgeting can save you lots of money.

9. Don't hire a wedding planner

Of course its a huge luxury! If you have one you certainly aren't in need of money.
