Agree that if you have a desire to play a good wedding, then you need to be prepared to spend a fairly large amount. Moreover, such a financial burden is in many ways simply unnecessary, because with a competent approach, it is quite possible to save a lot. Most importantly, use the tips below.
The right place
If you live in a big city, then arranging a wedding in it will be incredibly expensive. A restaurant, photographers, flowers and a dress will cost almost twice as much as in small towns. So carefully look at the map of your region and see what small cities are available near your place of residence. Even if you have to go to him a couple of hours, then this move will definitely be worth all the finances not spent.
Help friends and family
Often, families and friends can be generous enough, so they can offer you their help with several aspects of the wedding. For example, it may turn out that your cousin is a great wedding photographer who can take good pictures for you at a discount on his services. Friends can also help with music and other wedding expenses.
The guest list should be small
It is logical that small weddings are much cheaper than large ones. Of course, very often I do not want to offend relatives or friends, bypassing them with an invitation, but in this case, decide between the two extremes to "invite everyone" or "do not invite anyone." If you want to save, choose the latter.
So order a smaller restaurant and invite only the closest relatives and friends.
Try to save on food
Never be afraid to ask if it is possible to bring your own dishes with alcohol to the restaurant. You can also ask the owner for a discount on dishes from the menu.
Send invitations online
If your guest list is small, it would be foolish to send paper invitations to the people you regularly talk on the phone with. So you can save on postcards and invest this money in other needs. So just create an original postcard on your computer and send them in emails.
Choose a dress from the collection of last season
One of the biggest sources of expenses is buying a wedding dress. Going to the store, choose not from the latest novelties, but from hangers that offer discounted outfits. Understand the fact that few of your loved ones will appreciate the fashionability of your outfit and its relevance to the latest trends.
And then after the wedding, don't be afraid to sell your outfit. You will not need it anyway.
Make cupcakes instead of cake
Wedding cakes are very difficult to make, so they are quite expensive. However, cupcakes are much simpler. In addition, you will not need to then cut your cake, because everyone can easily get their portion.
Buy engagement rings in the online store
Now in online stores often offer prices that are significantly lower than usual in the store. You can buy rings for yourself at a much lower price and save money with ease.
