Five Ways to Save Money on your Wedding

    1. Change the Day, Time or Month of your Wedding.



    Saturdays at anytime are one of the biggest wedding days. If you want to save money on reception costs, getting married on a Sunday during brunch or lunch instead could save you a few extra bucks. Also, keep in mind, you have more negotiating power when your getting married in an off peak wedding season.



    2. Why pay for Postage.



    Instead of asking your guests to RSVP by Mail, ask them to RSVP by e-mail or a quick phone call. Saves everyone the effort and saves you money on postage.



    3. Small to Medium Guest List.



    Yes we all have friends that hear we are getting married and decide to call us after 10 years. Hey, we should not feel obligated to invite the world or our long lost friends. Your wedding should be a place of joy and happiness with your closest friends and family that love you dearly. If you don't speak to someone regularly, 2-3 years, then leave them off your guest list. This reduces your invitation, favors and reception costs.



    4. Bridal Gowns.



    I refer Brides to immediately put their name on the mailing lists of Bridal Salons or sign up on Designer websites. This will provide you updates on Sales and allow you a chance to print out coupons as well. You can also look on EBay for Gowns. I know, but you will be surprised to see the wedding gowns of women who may have changed their minds on their dresses without one wear of it. This is guaranteed to save you hundreds instead of walking in a Bridal Store and picking up your dream wedding dress.



    5. Stick to your Budget.



    You know your income and you know what you can afford. Remember, you have to live after your big day and it's only going to be you and your spouse when the lights go off. When making a budget, be fair with your estimate and be fair to yourself. Always be prepared to negotiate below your actual budget for each venue to make sure you are placing yourself with enough room to have extras.
