Top 5 Cheap Wedding Ideas
That Will Save Your Wedding Budget
Cheap wedding ideas are all over the Internet. You get the idea that you could have the wedding of your dreams for hundreds of guests at less than a $1000 and there are brides out there who have managed that, with a lot of help. But their wedding might not be your idea of a perfect wedding, so instead here are the top 5 inexpensive wedding ideas to help you save your own wedding budget.
1. Numbers matter - You can not invite hundreds of guests and still expect a cheap wedding, unless you have managed to find your venue for free and have a pot luck buffet. More guests means more money spent on invitations, a bigger venue, more food and drink, a bigger wedding cake. You get the picture - more of everything.
2. Whenever you visit a wedding supplier for the first time leave your credit card at home. This way you will not be tempted to buy anything, you won't get caught up in the wedding bubble and when you get home you can seriously think about what you want rather than what the supplier says you want.
3. Take all offers of help, friends and family love to get involved with their cheap wedding ideas and they can save you a fortune in all sorts of ways but tread with caution. If the help is coming in the form of money, that is great, but don't feel you have to have all of their suggestions for your wedding. Rather a smaller wedding and have the bits that you want, than a big expensive wedding with extra guests you don't know and wedding items you just don't want.
4. When you sit down and work out your wedding budget, be realistic, can you really save that much money before your wedding? Stick with your wedding budget and write down everything that you would like at your wedding.
Allocate your budget to things that are important to you both and don't forget the must haves!
5. If you are no good at craft stuff then don't do it, don't spend hours and a ton of money on paper and embellishments to make your wedding invitations and then find that they are terrible. You will end up spending the money on the craft stuff and then again when you buy your invitations for real. It is not a saving! Play to your strengths and those of your friends!
There really aren't any bad cheap wedding ideas if they are what you want and they save you money. Just be careful not to spend money on items that are cheap, just because they are cheap. Spend your wedding budget on items that are what you want, otherwise you will end up with a whole load of wedding stuff that you won't use and that has cost you money. Lots of brides have
