Plan For A Cheap Wedding By: Suta Chabok

It is incredible just how much money a wedding costs these days,the average cost of a wedding today is 20 to 25 thousand dollars with an industry estimated at 25. Just because a wedding is expensive does not mean it will be a success,you can still have a great day even if you plan to have a cheap wedding. All you need is a few cost saving ideas to point you in the right direction,this could make it a reality for less than you think.

Low Cost Brides Dress

Almost never considered are the costs associated with the hand made wedding dress; many brides sell their dress soon after they are married and this is a sensible way to reduce the cost. Many brides spend two to three thousand dollars (often more) on a wedding dress and only wear it once; why not make use of a beautiful dress that someone else has only worn once, for a fraction of the cost?

Reception Costs

The wedding reception is normally the biggest expense and where costs can get out of hand,start planning your cheap wedding by looking at the number of guests you have attending. Reducing the number of people who attend, including distant relatives or friends you haven't been in contact with for years, will help enormously; you can even carry out some of the catering yourself and have a hot and cold buffet style meal instead of a four courses.

To save on a costly wedding reception venue in a hotel, consider the alternatives; some people now arrange to hold them in a club house where they can place a set amount over the bar for certain beverages like beer, wine and soft drinks for the children.

Wedding Pictures

Photographers are expensive but there is generally no need to hire one for the whole day; why not have your friends and relatives take pictures during the reception. Some people save money by dispensing with the professional photographer entirely; using a friend or relation may sound strange at first but you can guarantee one of them is a keen amateur photographer.

Home Made Wedding Stationery

When looking at other areas where money can be saved, do not overlook wedding stationery; invitations for example, do not have to be taken to a printer when they can be produced by anyone reasonably competent with a home computer. With sophisticated customization tools you'll be able to enter your own text and preview it before you print; so as not to make any costly mistakes, all from the benefit of your probably underused PC.

Wedding Flowers

If you want to reduce the cost of flowers, then how about this for an option; why not visit the local flower wholesaler where huge savings are possible, then all that's needed is a little imagination when it comes to the display. If you have one of your friends make the wedding cake you can save some serious money; there probably won't be any need for five or six tiers either just as an alternative to the traditional fruit filling could be tried.

The Wedding Transportation

One last thing: luxury limousines, although nice, are costly so ask someone you know if you can use their car and make further savings; they may even have a luxury car of their own.

Cheap weddings are a real possibility especially when you have other plans for the savings you make; your guests will still enjoy the day and everyone will be happy!
