Don't feel like you have to spend thousands to have a beautiful wedding! Learning the tricks of cheap wedding planning saved me almost $1400 on my wedding....Click Here for more free tips.
With the average wedding in the United States costing approximately $20,000, it's easy to see why many people have to take out loans or borrow money from family when planning their special day. Of course, it doesn't have to cost this much. Cheap wedding planning is easily attainable, if you know the ways to save money and still have the wedding of your dreams. Below, this article will discuss tips to lower your wedding budget, and still have a beautiful ceremony!
- Go with a Second Hand Dress - Yes, it is possible to find gorgeous wedding gowns at a fraction of the cost. You may have a married family member or friend who has a wedding dress that's your size, or one that can be altered for you. You can pay a seamstress to add a bit of flair to the dress so it's not obvious you are wearing your cousin's wedding attire. Also, there are many bridal shops that rent their dresses out. Hey, your hubby-to-be is renting his outfit, why not do the same and save some cash??
- Print your Own Wedding Invitations - Wedding invitation kits can be purchased for less than half the price of getting them done by a printing company. They don't take that long to make, plus you will have more control over the wording and design. You can do the same with thank you cards and table place settings for the reception. Printers have come a long way, so you can rest assured that yours will provide professional looking invites at a fraction of the price.
- Opt for Silk Flowers - Live arrangements may smell better and be more vibrant in color, but they are also more costly and can only be purchased a couple of days before the wedding. For more flexibility and less cost, visit a floral wholesaler and get your flowers in bulk. These can also be saved after the wedding and used to decorate your home, an added bonus that is impossible if you are using live flowers.
Cheap wedding planning should be practiced for those who are having a wedding on a budget. Don't ever feel like you are having to settle or "make do" with mediocre wedding accessories. Just learn how to bargain shop for your special day, and you will save tons of money in the long run!
