There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, let’s look at the hard way. You could have a do it yourself style wedding. There are plenty of nickel and dime ways that you can save on the cost of your wedding.
- Invite fewer guests
- email the invitations
- You could buy a used wedding dress and your bridesmaids, (if you have more than one), could do the same
- You could make your own table decorations and wedding favors
- Bake your own cake
- Hold your wedding reception at home or at a friends house
- Have a ‘pot luck’ reception and let your guests bring the food
- Cut out the limousines and use taxis
Let’s talk turkey. This doesn’t sound like the wedding of your dreams, does it? So on to the alternative plan. Namely, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to get it at a price that you can afford. Is it really possible you ask. Yes, if you know what you are up against.
The wedding industry is an industry just like any other and it is motivated by the bottom line. Everything associated with weddings has an inflated price tag. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the price soar. When you see the price tag on a wedding gown, you would be shocked at what it actually cost to make it.
And then there are all the add ons that give the extra something your wedding day. At least, that’s their story. In reality, it is benefitting them more than you. All the wedding professionals have their little ways of extracting more cash from you. No wonder the average cost of a wedding is now over $26,000, largely due to budget creep.
So do you have to miss out on some the things that you would really like for your big day? Not on your life. You just need to know what you are dealing with so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The outrageous prices associated with weddings leave lots of of room for discounts. More so when times are tough. The wedding industry is having a hard time too.
Armed with the right information, you can save 50% or more on almost every aspect of your wedding planning. Your Low Budget Wedding can still be the stylish affair that you always dreamed of, without breaking the bank. And it will be up to you whether you tell your friends how much it really cost.
