Yes You Can Have A Cheap Wedding!
Getting married shouldn't be so expensive that it risks bankrupting a newly married couple or their parents. There are so many ways to cut wedding cost. Some people have the false perception that a cheap wedding means a "tacky" wedding but that simply isn't true. It is possible to plan an inexpensive wedding with all the things a bride and groom desires without compromising the outcome of a beautiful and memorable wedding.
Half or more of wedding expenses can be reduced if only you know how. For example you (or someone you know) can make the bouquets and flower arrangements for the ceremony and reception. A family member or friend can bake the wedding cake. You'd be surprised how many people have taken cake-decorating classes. Ask around. You may also know someone who is good at photography with professional grade equipment. While all of these ideas are great cost saving measures you will want to discuss their ability in detail to be confident they are sufficiently skilled in their experience or else your memorable day could turn into a disastrous one.
If you can secure someone with the necessary talents willing to help you could have the same exact wedding for much less regardless of the size of your budget. Now doesn't it make sense to spend a little time learning how to have a Cheap Wedding? Spending a little time now educating yourself can save you many hours in managing all the things you have to do in planning guests list, your budget, gifts and more.
Do you work full time and think you don't have the time? That's no problem. That's all the more reason to carefully plan your wedding in the shortest time possible. You could hire a wedding planner but they are expensive and won't fit into the budget if you're trying to have a cheap wedding. If you know how to Do-it-Yourself for less then it just makes sense to do so. If you're having doubts, don't. Others have successfully planned inexpensive weddings and you can too.
The biggest obstacle you may have is staying organized. A good wedding budget planner or software program can help you do that efficiently. From the start knowing how much you WANT to spend and how much you ARE spending. If you are planning a wedding now don't waste any more time (or money). Get the knowledge you need and let the savings begin.
