Well first let me start by saying, 'Congratulations' on your up coming wedding. And I wish you the best wedding day and marriage.
Now if you're like me saving money is important and we all know that can be hard when planning a wedding. Well 'Wedding Diva' is here to help. With some tips to help save money, but still get the day you want ...
1) DIY (Do It Yourself)
Doing it yourself is always a way to save money. And it's a cool way to really be a hands on bride and groom. From doing you party favors down to making you centerpieces. Doing this can be fun and a great way to really have it your way.
2) All In One Wedding's
A lot of people think having your wedding ceremony and reception in the same place is a bad idea, but it really isn't. You could have the room flipped over from ceremony to reception ... or have the room already set for reception to save time. No matter how you do it, it can still be an amazing wedding day. And saves you money. Having a all in one wedding, mean not having to rent car's or limousines all day to take you from place to place.
3) Hand'Me Down
Yes ladies and gentleman, Hand'me Downs. Maybe someone you know has gotten married and still have left over wedding decorations, maybe favors that didn't get used anything that can be used and tie into your big day. This saves money and time. It also let's your friends really be apart of your day.
4) Gifted Us Please
Friends and family spent so much money on wedding gifts, bridal shower gifts, engagement party gifts and so on. So how about they gift you something, you could really use for your wedding. So if you have a friend that can really cook, then see if they are willing to gift catering for your wedding or rehearsal dinner. Or if you have someone that are good at making things, then see they can gift you, your centerpieces, or favors.
5) Keep It Small
We as brides, want to share our big days with everyone one we can. However bigger isn't always better. When planning your wedding, remember that this day is a step to the marriage and that's what's more important .. You really only need yourself and a few close friends and family. People who have been around for you and your relationship. And want to really see you both happy within the marriage. You don't need the girl who said you will never get married or the Guy who let you down, or the lady from next door.
You have to keep in mind when planning a wedding, that you have to go on with life when this day is over … and it's a way to have your day, your way without spending all the money you have saved.
