Wedding experts have always believed that planning a wedding
requires more than just money. What gets
remembered is creativity and the unusual.
We can help you plan a memorable event without putting dents in your budget. Here are some tried and true budget savers
from brides we've worked with.
1. Avoid peak season
dates. Being married mid week instead of
a weekend or in less popular months can save upwards of 20% off location costs.
2. When you make
adjustments to the guest list, make cuts in groups. For instance, if you are planning round
tables that seat 8 or 10 guests, cut by that number or multiples of that
number.
3. Try to find a venue that hosts both ceremony and
reception events in one place. Look for
an all inclusive venue.
4. Have a smaller
wedding party (VIPs) - have two instead of six bridesmaids.
5. Serve four
appetizers instead of ten.
6. Stop photographer
at a specific time. Tell him when it's
over rather than expect him to stay till the last guest turns out the light.
7. Make a grand
entrance or a grand exit but don't pay a limo to stay for both.
8. Consider earning
extra cash to assist in paying for the wedding.
Get a part time job, sell some items on EBay or Craig's List. Don't use plastic!!!!
9. Save on postage by
including a post card RSVP
10. Make choices based on your personal style - choose a
cocktail party reception rather than hosting a sit down dinner.
We have helped scores of brides create memorable days when
they have more beauty than budget.
