Creating the perfect wedding can be stressful and expensive. These simple wedding ideas can help keep the costs low. I have found 5 tricks to help you make your big day easier and cheaper.

1. Having wedding cupcakes instead of a cake is a new hot trend. They can be as elegant as a cake without having to dig deep into your pockets.

2. Making your own wedding invitations can save a lot of money. The cost has sky rocketed and mailing each one is not the bargain it used to be. By including a few friends you can have fun creating you own unique and beautiful invitations for pennies on the dollar.

3. Design and make your own decorations and bouquets. This idea seems like a lot of hard work but once again if you have the help of friends it can be fun and inspiring. Simple is also the key. White candles with embedded pearls and ribbons on them. Even floating candles in a bowl of water with flowers can be a fast, easy and a stylish addition. And for your bouquets, silk calla lilies or any flower you like is just as beautiful as a real, and expensive, bouquet. Plus it will last a lifetime!

4. Change up the guest book idea and go with a picture of the happy bride and groom in an autograph frame. Guests will have fun leaving little notes in the margins. It is creative and looks great. If you have a guest book it will more than likely be put in a keepsake box and you will hardly ever see it. But with a picture frame it can be hung on the wall with other wedding photos and approved for years to come.

5. Consider changing your wedding date. Saturdays are the most popular and therefore the most expensive. Book your venue for a Friday or Sunday. Daytime hours are also cheaper and the lighting is better for your photos.

Implementing these creative designs will save you money. You will have the peace of mind knowing things are done right because you made sure of it yourself and you will have the extra cash to prove it.
