How To Get Married Cheaply

Probably the most money you will spend for a single day will be that for your wedding; with an average day costing around 25,000 dollars it accounts for why the industry is worth an astonishing 25 billion dollars. This figure is not surprising when people hire expensive limousines, florists, caterers and stationery, not to mention the cost of outfits for the day; you can still have a wonderful day even though it might be a cheap wedding although you might not be convinced yet! However, sometimes all that is needed is some help with the planning to help lower that total; which should make for an exciting, memorable day without the financial pain.

Cheap Bridal Gown

That hand-made wedding dress is going to be the most costly individual item; Many brides spend two to three thousand dollars (often more) on a wedding dress and only wear it once; why not make use of a beautiful dress that someone else has only worn once, for a fraction of the cost?

The Wedding Reception

Catering for a large number of guests means that the reception will swallow up most of the budget; to reduce the financial outlay look at how many guests you plan to invite to your cheap wedding. There is a tendency to invite everyone you have ever known or is a member of the family but this is completely unrealistic and unnecessary; if you have a buffet instead of a four course meal, waiting staff will not be required either.

To save on a costly wedding reception venue in a hotel, consider the alternatives; some people now arrange to hold them in a club house where they can place a set amount over the bar for certain beverages like beer, wine and soft drinks for the children.

The Wedding Photographs

Photographers are expensive but there is generally no need to hire one for the whole day; why not have your friends and relatives take pictures during the reception. An alternative would be to go one step further and not bother with the expense of a photographer at all; why not ask your guests to take photographs of the occasion all day instead? I am sure they would be happy to.

Print At Home Contemporary Wedding Invitations

Cutting down on costs can also mean creating your own wedding invitations and seating cards etc; a personal computer combined with a home printer means it is quite easy to produce very professional looking results. With the correct programs, all the work can be checked fully before it is printed out; this means that often costly errors and adjustments that are often required in the early stages of the work are not made.

Floral Arrangements

Flowers can be another expensive outlay especially with the alternatives on offer; why not buy wholesale flowers, or pick flowers from your garden and buy plain gold or white gold bands as these are the least costly. Many people have friends who are very capable cooks and love to bake so why not let them bake a two or three tier wedding cake; this can be made from sponge or even a chocolate cake which tends to be favorite amongst people these days.

The Wedding Transportation

Lastly, instead of a limousine why not rent a car or borrow a luxury car from a friend or relative; most will be pleased to help.

Money saved because it was a cheap wedding can be used productively; especially if the couple is planning to buy a house in the near future!
