Weddings are a most wonderful time in a person’s life, but if a large wedding is what is expected, the costs can rapidly mount. You can have a beautiful and inexpensive wedding if you carefully plan a budget and stick to it. Use these tips to keep your wedding within your budget, but to still have a memorable event.
Hold a dress rehearsal for all members of the party that are giving speeches at the reception. This will give them a chance to practice, and you’ll also be able to make sure no inappropriate remarks are planned. There will be many different generations at the wedding, so sometimes a joke between young people is not received well by elders.
Instead of one large, expensive wedding cake, consider serving cupcakes or several small cakes. You may be able to find a bakery willing to provide freshly-baked cupcakes that are low-calorie and available in healthier options for family with special dietary needs such as gluten or sugar-free.
Make sure to shop multiple photographers before picking the right one to shoot your wedding. You would not want to be stuck with a wedding photographer that does not meet your high standards. Ask for recommendations and read reviews online when choosing a photographer.
When choosing the location for your reception, make sure you have enough room for a dance floor. You don’t want to have dancers crashing into seated guests or knocking over the dessert table, so ensure you have adequate space available. If necessary, move some chairs and tables out of the way to make more room.
There is no reason why you cannot have a glorious wedding without cleaning out your bank account. Apply the tips from this article and you will be on your way to the wedding of your dreams, without breaking the bank.
