Your Wedding Day:
Budget Friendly Tips


Regardless of your profession,
everyone took some kind of punch
when the economy went sour over the
past few years. It has made people
save more money and cut their spending
in big ways. If you have suffered during the
recession or just want to keep a tighter budget
for your big day, don't feel like your wedding can't
be beautiful and special. Here is a list of a few
tips that can help cut costs in big ways:

*Cut the guest list. Keep it close friends and family.
If you want to invite your mailman and your sisters
best friends cousins friend, except to pay more money.

*Have bigger tables. The bigger the tables are, the
more people you can fit which means less linens
and less flowers & centerpieces.

*Celebrate in the off season. If you plan your
wedding for fall & winter, you can save thousands.

*Stick to two-three types of flowers and
use more greenery than flowers.

*Serve comfort food. Comfort foods are often
a lot cheaper than entrees that half of the guests
can't even pronounce.

*Offer beer, wine and a signature cocktail
for the night. Skip the full open bar.

*Make your own menu and seating cards.

*Opt for a smaller band.
