You Can have An elegant wedding on a small budget
If you have a smaller budget, you're probably afraid that all of
your guests will realize it. But honestly, a twenty thousand
dollar wedding isn't necessary. Many couples have done it for a
lot less, and no one could tell.
What's important
Like coming up with the original budget, you need to determine
what the most important things of the day are. Do you want the
designer dress? Must you have the reception at a fancy hotel?
Some things that you may want to spend money on: photography and
rings. These are two things that you will keep long after the
wedding day, so these are the things that should be number one
on the planning list. Don't skimp.
A cheaper ceremony
If you're able to have your ceremony outside, then that can be
the least expensive way to go. Not only are you able to take
advantage of nature, but many of the times, it will be free for
you to use. Places that may work are parks and botanical
gardens, friend's backyards, and beaches. Of course, these are
rather weather dependent, so you'll have to have a backup plan
as well.
Find someone that you know who is a minister to do the vows, and
ask that their marriage gift be the fee. This is a perfect way
to include your friend and save them the trouble of giving
a
gift.
Skimping on the reception
The best way to keep your costs low for the wedding is to have
the ceremony and reception in the same area. Even if you do have
to pay a fee, then it's only once. Another way to cut down on
reception costs is to have a light afternoon cocktail hour in
lieu of dinner. You can serve appetizers and drinks instead of a
pricey meal.
You don't necessarily need a band to keep the fun going either.
A lot of couples have found that a friend with a multiple CD
player and a good variety of CDs is just as good as a deejay.
And most friends are willing to help out at the wedding if they
can anyways.
Be creative when you go out and look for all of the things you
need for your wedding. You'd be surprised at how many things you
can save on. One couple made their own programs, decorations,
and had it at a friend's house for about three thousand dollars.
The guests exclaimed that they'd been to more expensive weddings
that weren't half as beautiful.
Something to think about.
