Low Budget Wedding Planning
Weddings have become costly nowadays. It takes $15K to $20K to
have a wedding. Hence it is essential for a good wedding
planning. If you can plan properly you could save a lot and you
may wonder that you have done you wedding at only 25% of the
cost that it takes. There are wedding planners available who
would guide you to cut down the unnecessary expenses incurred on
a wedding.
If you plan carefully you can even cut down the costs
drastically. A little careful wedding planning will keep you
amazed at the amount that you have saved. Have a budget set for
your wedding and list down the items that you need to be present
at your wedding.
Then revise the list to have the most important thing in it and
try to remove the items that are not necessary. Only if you put
it down on paper you would find what and all to cut down from
the list. If you have a PC there are websites that give out free
wedding planners that you can use. Or you can download them and
take a printout of those planners and use it for your wedding
planning.
There are many items that you can reduce the cost. Instead of a
big wedding cake you can order a small one and have a sheet cake
to be cut and served. The cake can serve as the dessert instead
of other sweets being ordered.
Even while shopping for your dresses you can look for discounts
or even ask your good old grandma to make your gown for you!
They would be pleased to do it for your wedding. You have to
keep your dear ones engaged by asking them to contribute some
service for your wedding. In this type of wedding planning you
could cut down a lot of unnecessary expenses.
You would have come across any person who is much interested in
photography from your relatives. You can ask their service for
the photography sessions for your wedding instead of hiring a
professional photographer. They would be happy to do it if you
can give them such responsibilities.
One of your uncles might be interested in recording videos.
Having a reception on Friday night instead of Saturday would cut
down a lot of money spent. For the dinner you should choose a
buffet system instead of a sit-down dinner. A buffet would
actually cut down cost of the dinner.
Instead of a limousine you might choose a Cadillac or other
luxury vehicle and cut down quite a sum. You can also cut down
cost on the invitations if you choose invitations that require
minimum stamping.
Instead of having a separate invitation for the reception you
can print down the reception information on the wedding
invitation itself. This would cut down a considerable cost on
invitations. A little wedding planning and a little effort would
help you to save a lot of money unnecessarily spent on your
wedding. You can plan your wedding on any budget! Happy wedding!
