Weddings Don't Have to Break the Bank
Money Saving Wedding Tips
The average wedding in the United
States, according to Cost of Wedding, is $25,200.
Couples often
spend anywhere from $18,900 to $31,500 on their big day. However,
the majority of people cannot afford to spend more than $10,000 on a wedding.

After all a wedding should be a happy start to your new life!
Hidden
Fees are very likely to cause your expenses to be high. Save money by
staying simplistic for example flat cards instead of bulky cards can lower
stamp costs by over $1.50. Also check contracts for charges for cake cutting
and trash take out etc. If a venue charges $0.50 per guest to slice the cake
and you have 300 guests that’s $150, so you may choose to have a bridal party
member cut the cake.
Write down everything! Keeping up
with the multiple expenses of a wedding can be very difficult. Sometimes, you
might mix up an expense or confuse the budget and spend more than you have. Use
an extensive budget
print out to keep up with how much the budget will allow you to spend,
the vendors estimate, and what you actually spend.
Be savvy with food options for
the rehearsal dinner and reception. My
Online Wedding Help has 23 ways to save on food. Some ways to save are
by having a food truck instead of a catered meal, using only in season produce,
and by having a potluck meal at the rehearsal dinner.
Cut down on stationery costs by
only sending a save the date and invitation. According to Brides Magazine, hundreds can be
saved by having guests RSVP through an app or website for the wedding. You can
also have them choose their menu option online too if you’re offering them.
Your wedding day will be special
and beautiful. It doesn’t have to break
the bank to be memorable.
