Money-saving tips for your wedding

Your wedding day is one of the most amazing ones in your entire life – so it’s more than natural that you want everything about it to be really beautiful. Does this mean you have to spend a fortune on everything – ranging from the dress and down to the Thank You Notes?

We have some tips to help you save money the easy way – read on and find out more.

·       It’s very important to choose the right ceremony site. If you want to maximize your savings and spend your money on something that has a special significance for you, try to find an unconventional place for your big moment. If you want a religious wedding, a chapel, church, or a place of worship will both be an excellent choice. If you want something different, try to find a garden or simply have a city hall wedding.

·       As for the wedding reception venue, avoid large ballrooms and luxurious locations. Instead, opt for something simpler and more naturally beautiful (this will help you save big money on flowers and décor as well). A garden, a museum, an old library – they can all play the part for your wedding reception venue and they are absolutely amazing and unique as well.

·       Looking to save money on the wedding itself? Focus on the basics: good music and delicious foods. Skip the champagne toast and invite guests to toast with whatever drinks they have on hand. Play great music and make sure everyone’s having the time of their lives on the dance floor. Serve comfort foods and mouthwatering sweets. Guests don’t need more than that, really.
