How to save money at your wedding

How to save money at your wedding is mainly about reducing your numbers, the more guests you have the bigger the bill! With half your wedding budget going on the wedding reception it is possible to keep your original numbers but you will need to reduce the buffet or meal to save money. How many people will know that you chose the cheaper menu, or chose to have a buffet rather than a sit down meal because of the cost? Experience says not many!

When you are looking to save money on your wedding dress, stationery, favors your best bet is to shop around and look out for the sales.

Everyone knows someone who has grabbed a bargain on eBay!

Always worth having a look at even if it is to get ideas. I bought a great medieval wedding dress for a friend a couple of months ago for £7.00!

Have a look at the very cheap wedding dresses that are up for sale on ebay at the moment.

To save money on things like favors, invitations and decor you need to either go down the craft bride route or find a great sale.

Oriental Trading has helped thousands of brides save money on their wedding and it's great for inspiration.

As always have a shop around to get the best price and think about the look of your wedding before you go out and spend a fortune on items that you will never use. Bridal forums are full of adverts of unused wedding stuff, so have a look in those too!

Other great sites have been listed on my wedding suppliers page so have a look there for some bargains!
