If you're like many people, you want the gorgeous wedding without the staggeringly high price tag that goes with it. Although that's what most of us want, it's hard to keep a 'budget wedding' within budget. There are a lot of ways to avoid stepping on one of those financial minefields that explode the cost of your wedding. Here are just a few.
Don't Hire Unnecessary People:You can have music at your wedding without having to surrender thousands of dollars to a performer or a band. What you do is you make one of your friends or family members a disk jockey, and give them a compilation of your favorite music on CDs. It works especially well if you have a CD player with a large disk changer. This little trick and others can save you at least $1000, if not more. This is one way to pull off cheap weddings.
Keep it Smaller:No matter how tempting it is to invite everyone you ever knew, as well as all their friends and family, STOP! You should pick your very best friends, and of course your family. Anyone else should be left out. Ask everyone you do invite to please not bring extra guests. Stick with the people you invite only. This way, you don't have to worry about the expense of feeding all of these people.
Think About Food:Food costs a ton, and will be a major expense for your wedding. Don't choose some fancy food that half of your guests can't pronounce anyway. What you should consider instead is a potluck wedding. Or, you can simply enlist some friends to help you serve finger foods and hors d'oeuvres. Budget weddings can be beautiful, and you are able to keep your head above water. Who wants to enter their marriage in debt?
