Remember these simple tips to help you save big on your wedding expenses, which will be one of the biggest events in your financial life.
- The location is also a big expense, if you want to fly everyone out to a destination wedding on an island. Instead choose a local place, like a national park, or a friend’s garden, which are low-cost wedding locations. They are also more unique and meaningful.
- Cut back, if not eliminate all together, deserts. After people eat and drink, they often don’t have room for desert anyway.
- Since 12% of your overall wedding budget will account for photo and video documentation of your wedding, you will want to save where you can but not sacrifice the memories you want saved. A creative alternative to an expensive professional is to offer disposable cameras on tables so the guests could take pictures. Collect the cameras and now you have wedding pictures from all the angles possible at no cost.
- Since music alone will account for 8% of your total wedding costs, a smart idea is to hire a DJ instead of a live band to save money.
