"Yes, we are in love, but you know how expensive a wedding can be!" Are you tired of repeating this line over and over again? If you want to get married but neither you nor your significant other has lots of money to spend, you have three choices: borrow from your parents, borrow from your future in-laws (not recommended though), or check out these great cheap wedding ideas!
Let me suggest some ways to cut expenses from your upcoming wedding. Nothing should stop you from having the most special day of your lives!
Do It Yourself
Forget about hiring a trendy wedding planner! Our mothers planned their weddings themselves, and so can you! Buy a cheap notebook and write down everything you need: a church, catering, flowers, musicians, invitations, a wedding dress, rings, etc. It certainly sounds like a lot of work, but that does not mean it can not be done.
Plan a Double Wedding
Have you noticed how many friends get married on the same year, on the same month and almost on the same day? Why do not you think about planning a double wedding and spend half the money? You could have a wonderful time deciding with your best buddy the wedding theme, picking the music and the bouquets. This is one of the best cheap wedding ideas as long as you find the right friend to do it with. The last thing you want is to have a repeat of the movie Bride wars!
Minimize the Guest List
If your parents are paying for part of the wedding, then their recommended guests must be included. However, if the wedding is paid by you and your future husband, why should you pay for people you hardly know? Explain politely that the wedding is going to be very intimate, only family and close friends. That argument can work for everyone in your office, friends you are no longer in touch with and annoying neighbors.
Do not Buy a New Wedding Gown
It is one of the most expensive items on the list. However, no bride wants to get married without the perfect white dress. Why not borrow your mom's old dress? It could have been a lovely gesture – and it can save you a few grand!
You can have your dream wedding and stay out of debt. These were just a few common sense tips. There are many places on the internet to find even better cheap wedding ideas.
