Get smarter by planning a budgeted wedding

Planning a budgeted wedding is no more a weird idea as lots of people are adopting it these days so that they can save some finance and use it in a more fruitful way. You may plan a budgeted wedding and use the saved money for making a better honeymoon plan, buying a new house, a new car or save it for future rather than spend it by organizing an extravagant wedding just to show your spouse that you love him or her.

So if you are smart enough to go for a budgeted wedding, here are some tips to assist you in your wedding preparations –

• Organize the wedding in your home backyard to save the expenses of booking a banquet hall.

• Use your own car for the wedding transport rather than spending a huge amount of money on booking a Rolls Royce or a Bentley for a few hours.

• Do the venue decorations yourself with the help of your family and friends. You can contact a company where wedding chair covers for hire are available at affordable prices.

• Use your home music system in place of hiring a DJ.

• Offer homemade wedding favors to your guests rather than purchasing expensive favors from a commercial firm. You can offer homemade scented candles, personalized bookmarks with your names and wedding date or inspirational quotes, homemade chocolates, cookies, etc.

• A rented wedding gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses will certainly be cheaper than purchasing a wedding dress or getting it designed.

• To reduce your feast costs, place the order after you have received the acknowledgments from your guests and have an idea about how many guests you can expect to have on the eve. Buy the drinks in bulk so that you can get discount on the purchase.
