There's no doubt about it, weddings can be expensive. Organizing an intense event like this on a tight budget may seem an awesome task but it is possible; carried out properly, planning a cheap wedding is quite easy to achieve. Look for savings in almost every area by being open minded and looking for deals and ideas you will end up having fun planning a cheap wedding.
So let us look at the places we might achieve the biggest savings:
The wedding dress is one area where huge amounts of money are spent; but you can hire the dress or look for many discounted deals in the bridal shops. Many bridal shops have reduced prices for wedding dress models that were meant for the previous season. So shop around in the shops and online for good deals.
The wedding reception is another area where you can save. Planning a cheap wedding may require you reduce the number of guests or get a caterer who is flexible in his menu preparations and who can offer hot and cold buffet style meal instead of the usual four courses meals. You can also hold it in a private home of a good friend or relative that is large enough. Choosing some cheap and or free location like a park or a beach will save the costs of rental.
Wedding photographs are very important as they are the memories of the wedding day that the couple will cherish in the future. One can save money by checking out a friend or relation who is a keen amateur photographer. Sometimes guests are more than happy to take photos on behalf of the couple, and they will be 'natural' shots as well!
Cheap wedding invitation cards is another item you might want to look into if you are on a tight budget.
Consider print-at-home stationery by looking into the many online stationers that offer this service free of charge and all you pay for the paper and envelopes.
Wedding flowers and their arrangement is another cost cutting area. Buy the flowers in bulk from wholesalers and get your friends or relatives to make the arrangements.
If you have one of your friends make the traditional fruit filled wedding cake you can save some serious money.
The wedding limousine can put a dent on you budget too. Asking someone you know if you can use their car can bring further savings.
As you can see from this advice planning a cheap wedding is possible; even if you gather at a picnic spot or at a beach all that matters is that you and your guests enjoy the wonderful day!
