Have That Memorable Wedding on a Tight Budget!

You big day is coming! But you and your partner are on tight budget. Do not have much to spend for the big day. You will need some planning strategy in order to meet your budget. Do not over spend for your wedding. Search for some planning strategy to avoid a big hole in your pocket. Let me share with you some basic planning strategy for your budget wedding.

Cut down all the non relevant cost. Choose to have only two bridemaids instead of five bridemaids. This can help you to save on the gift and dress for bridemaids. You can choose to have elegant but non designer evening gown. The fabric of the wedding gown also affects the price. Choose to have poly satin instead of silk satin where the price differ for few hundred bucks.

Cut down the number of dish serve in the wedding. Reduce five courses serve to three courses. This can help to save on the price per head. Choose three fabulous courses instead of five simple courses and keep your wedding menu simple. Get your own alcohol. Coordinate alcohol on your own. Only use the fancy alcohol for the toast and substitute champagne for the rest of the night. Nobody will ever find the difference. Do some simple mathematic calculations this help you to save a lot.

Pick and choose everything carefully. You can choose to have a great cake but skip the dessert dish. This will help to reduce the number of dish for the dinner. So that everything will look grand but it is within your budget. Borrow or rent a wedding car instead of using limos. Decorate the wedding car on your own. Pick and choose everything that will be within your budget but still your memorable wedding

Reduce the number of guests, invite 100 people instead of 200 people. Only close relatives and friends are invited. So from cutting down your list of guests also help you to cut down the food. Design and address your own envelopes. Keep the invitation card as simple as possible. Choose only one fabulous element and keep the rest simple. Stay away from oversize or overweight postage. Try to save on everything. You will find out you save a lot of on wedding.

Casual wedding help to loosen up compare to formal wedding style. Price will become affordable if you choose to have casual wedding. Try casual lunch or barbecue instead of a formal sit-down dinner. Casual lunch, brunch or barbecue will be far cheaper than the dinner. Casual lunch or barbecue will be less formal where all the friends will feel gather around and feel more comfortable to have the opportunity to chit chat. Compare to sit-down dinner where only friends sitting at the same table can meet. Have your wedding at flower garden or public park where you can put aside the decoration of your wedding hall. Imagine exchanging vow with your love one in the beauty of nature. It is so romantic.

At this moment, sacrifices the platinum wedding bands. Go for silver or white gold and only upgrade to the platinum favourable style during your first wedding anniversary. This will be a double wedding gift and celebration for both of you.

A lot of thing can be done by you. Use the DIY style. Do not underestimate the penny-pinching power of elbow grease. Learn to do your own hair or make up. Try it before your big day. Put the best and favourable make up and hair do during your big day. If you find the difficulty doing it get help from friends.
