Planning A Wedding On A Budget
By Advisor. Filed in Jewish Dating |
Given the constant need to make savings, lots of people start wedding planning on a budget. Some people prefer traditional weddings, while others will try some unique form of event just for the sake of making it memorable. The problem is that even without organizing something fanciful, expenses tend to add up. Here are some guidelines to help you best define the idea of wedding planning on a budget before you actually commit to the task.
Locations get most of your money. It is preferable to have both the religious ceremony and the wedding party organized in the same place, otherwise costs will be higher. You won’t have to pay for the location if you organize the wedding in your parents or in laws’ backyard, not to mention that you have all the flexibility to set the date. Some other outdoor location such as a beach, a garden and a park can be much cheaper too.
Glamorous events and theme weddings are more expensive in a number of ways, and the outfits take lots of money out of the bank account. For planning a wedding on a budget, a nice cocktail dress will do. You can also rent the wedding dress or have a nice simple gown made especially for the event. People getting married in summertime also have the advantage of weather and they have worries when it comes to dressing. Summer weddings can be considered cheaper if judging by overall criteria too.
Save lots of money on decorations. When you have the flower arrangements custom-made you will pay more than if you made them yourself. Why not ask a few friends or family members to help with the task? You will just have to order some fresh flowers from the local market and get them the day prior to the event. When the decorations are ready, spray them with fresh water and have them placed in a cool place. On the wedding day, they will look just as great on the party tables.
More savings tips are available for the invitations, the envelopes and the thank you notes. Do not judge the emotional side of the event by the sums of money that you spend. When you have less than 100 guests, you can print the invitations at home or have them hand-made. Part of the menu can also be home-made, when organizing some traditional ethnic wedding party. And the list of suggestions can continue!
