Money Saving Wedding Ideas To Remember By: DOLA RAHEEM

It is worth remembering for anyone planning to get married that the wedding industry is huge, in fact it is worth more than 25 billion dollars annually and with the average wedding costing upwards of 25,000 dollars it is hardly surprising. Planning a cheap wedding when you are on a budget may seem an enormous task but it is possible even though you might not think so at this time. It just requires a little knowledge and imagination to reduce the huge amount that can be spent and perhaps use the savings on something more worthwhile.

Firstly, do you really need a hand-made wedding dress with beads and diamantes because this is where the big cost is and there are several options open to cutting the cost so why not opt for a second-hand wedding dress? As it has probably only been worn once anyway and you can get a once expensive dress for half the price so consider buying an evening gown/cocktail dress from a department store or look into renting your wedding dress for the day.

Of course it is planning the cheap wedding reception where the real savings can be made and with an average of just under two hundred guests attending every wedding reception it is easy to see how you can reduced the financial outlay. Try and keep your guest list to a minimum, do you really need to invite family members who you have never seen for years and instead of a three-course meal why not opt for a hot and cold buffet which you can even cater for yourself. Although it is nice to hold the wedding reception in a hotel or beautiful golf club, this too is another huge expense especially when there are many clubs that would be perfectly suitable or even the home of a good friend that is large enough.

Although many photographers stay for the whole of the wedding, it is cheaper to only hire them for just the ceremony and then place disposable cameras on the tables for the guests to use; then collect them later. Or you could go one step further and ask them to take the photographs for the whole day and not bother with the expense of a photographer at all.

It is also easy to save money on your wedding by designing and printing all your own wedding stationery with a computer program and a home printer a it is amazing how professional the results are nowadays. 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.

Providing you do not mind a little flower arranging, there is no reason why he flowers for the wedding cannot be purchased for a wholesaler just as florists do. Get a friend to make your wedding cake for you and opt for a smaller tier cake and it doesn't have to be a fruit cake, try a sponge, chocolate or carrot cake and make favors and center-pieces yourself, accessories for these can be found at little outlet stores or online. Lastly, instead of a limousine why not rent a car or borrow a luxury car from a friend or relative because if you want to keep money aside for a deposit on a house or a honeymoon to remember because there are many cost cutting ideas and all you need is a little imagination.
