Cheap Wedding and Reception Tips
If you are
getting married and need to do so on a tight budget, there are
many tips that you can follow to make sure that you r wedding and reception
doesn’t break the banks. Here are some tips that will save you money when you
are planning your wedding ceremony and reception.
- Trim the guest list
to include only friends and family that are close to you. This is
difficult to do but sometimes it is necessary if the cost per guest is
going to break your budget. Think about it like this; you can simply cross
off the names on the list of guests who might feel obligated to come to
the wedding if they are invited, but would not be upset in the least if
they are not asked to attend. Invite only the people who are important to
you and your parents, rather than everyone you know.
- Have your wedding ceremony
and/or reception held at a hotel area, and ask for discounts when your
family and friends are staying at same hotel which they will likely give.
Reserve a block of rooms for your guests several months beforehand just to
be sure that all goes smoothly on the day. Speak with the appropriate
manager when asking for discounts and reserving rooms.
- Stick to the
schedule that you set beforehand for your ceremony and reception.
Musicians will charge you a lot more if they are asked asked to perform
beyond the time stated in their contract.
- Have your ceremony
and reception in the same location which will make things a great deal
simpler.
- Ask friends to lend
their talents instead of buying a gift such as DJ’s, flowers, centerpieces
etc.
- Have your wedding on
a non-weekend day. Choose a weekday evening for your wedding. Schedule the
wedding to allow guests time to arrive at the ceremony after the work day
has ended. Many guests enjoy weekday weddings more because this frees up
their weekends other things. Choose a date between November and April to
avoid higher seasonal rates.
- Supply disposable
cameras all over the place for people to take pictures at your wedding. It
will save a lot on fancy photographers. You can also ask a friend who you
know is good at taking pictures to help. You can also get your friends
with digital cameras to email you all the photos they take.
- Get someone from
college to help out with making a video of the ceremony. It will save you
piles of money and still giving you the professional look that you may be
hoping for.
- Offer a buffet
instead of fancy dinners. Get your family members to each cook and bring
something to add to the festivities.
- Serve beer and wine
instead of expensive champagnes. Let people know that they can bring their
own liquor if they prefer something else.
