You do not want to impress your guests and family with an expensive and exclusive wedding?
You think it is better to save money for starting your future with your partner? I attended to some weddings and all of them were less than $ 1000.
Follow up and you will find 5 tips for an inexpensive wedding:
Decide first what is most important to you? Having all your family and friends there? The food and drinks? Your outfit? The location? When you have done your decision move on from there.
1.How to get cheap wedding invitation?
Use your computer and make your own invitations cards. It is not expensive and in addition personalized. If you are not so familiar with graphic and designing, I am sure you will have a friend, who can do it professionally. Even the name cards on the tables can be made by you.
2.What to wear?
Of course you can go in straight to wedding shop, but there you will find only expensive dresses. When you want to save money on it, go in a second hand shop. There you will find wedding clothes in very good conditions. Usually they are used only once. Who care's?
Alternative you can also hire your wedding dress for less money.
3.Where to get married?
The venue might by very important to you. You have a big choose to get your location for under $100.
Search for a nice big room in your area for hire. In same cases bars and restaurants are welcoming private functions.
Additional you will find Community halls for hire, which are normally cheaper than other opportunities.
Ask your council, any club or the secretary of church. I am sure you will find your cheap wedding place very quickly. Usually all of my suggested locations have everything you need for your inexpensive wedding: chairs, tables, reception, a kitchen, a bathroom and toilets.
Be carefully, that the wedding place you booked, allows music at all time.
The best saving: Change your wedding to outdoor and use the garden of your parents, friend or relatives .When there are not enough chairs and tables available, you have only to hire those. Make sure, that the weather will be beautiful for your special day.
4.Where to get food and drinks?
You have only ask your guests, if the are willing to help you and bring some prepared food to your wedding party.
May be some of your guest are willing to help you, to prepare a nice dinner for you and your guests or your parents are organizing a catering for you.
When your mother in law (ore someone else) is a good baker, ask her to prepare a beautiful three-tier homemade cake. That can be her wedding gift.
You will get your drinks at any supermarket or liqueur shop at low costs. May be some friends or relatives will be a barman for this day and want to service your guests.
If you see the point of saving money for your wedding, hopefully these tips will help you and it is better than starting of a marriage in debt, which creates unneeded stress from the start.
Be good prepared and make your wedding plan, so that all parts work together. Enjoy your savings and get a financial better start for your life.
