How to spend less on your Wedding
Weddings are usually very high priced events, and quite a few couples carry the financial burden of their wedding for a lot of years after the event. You don’t need to shell out a lot of cash on your wedding to make it a fabulous day. Don’t start married life buried under a mountain of debt, when it’s so easy to conserve cash on your wedding.
Here’s a few methods to conserve cash:
* Rather than hiring a costly professional wedding band, contact your local university and find some music students to perform at your wedding – you will still get a great band, but for a small fraction of the price.
* Your selection of Wedding Venue will make a big impact on the total cost of the day – so it’s very important to make the right decision. Shop around using a site like http://www.clickweddingvenues.co.uk/ and you’re sure to find a fantastic venue and cut costs as well.
* Alternatively you could get married at home – or at a friend’s place. Research hiring a marquee if you will need some extra space.
* A Wedding Cake can be very pricy, so do your research before you buy, or buy from a nearby bakery instead.
* Alternatively, ask a friend who’s good at baking to make your cake as a present
* Instead of expensive custom-printed invitations, obtain wedding invitations in a store, and write them yourself.
* Hire a photographer for a flat fee for so many hours
* Make your own personal wedding favors.
* Try looking in consignment shops for your wedding gown, bridesmaids gowns etc.
* Make your own hors d’ouvres and finger sandwiches for your reception (also veggie and cheese trays).
* Purchase flowers from the supermarket instead of from the florist.
* Instead of hiring a wedding car, use your own car, or borrow a nice vehicle from a relative. If you do want to hire a car, then make sure you shop around to make sure you find a good deal.
* Buy silk flowers from Wal-Mart and make your own bouquets.
* Always ask for their best price on everything you buy.
There are many more ways to save money on all aspects of your wedding – and this list is just a beginning. Hopefully it will spark some ideas on how you can conserve cash on your wedding.
