So you and hubby have set the date, now what? If you are like
most couples these days the financial burden of planning a
wedding is rested upon your shoulders and you find yourself
worrying about how you will ever be able to afford this major
life event. Believe it or not if done properly your big day can
pack a powerful punch without spending thousands of dollars. As
long as you are willing to put the thought of an overpriced
wedding planner aside and do some of the grunt work yourself,
your special day will be one to remember forever.
First of all think about who you know. Do you have a friend who
has really great decorating sense? A cousin who is taking
photography classes? If you sit down and think about who you
know and what types of things they excel at you will be
surprised at how quickly your wedding bill will shrink. Forget
hiring expensive caterers and photographers. All it takes is a
simple phone call and I would bet money that the person on the
other end would be more than happy to help in any way they can.
While planning my wedding I knew a friend of a friend who bakes
cakes out of her home for a little extra cash. I got in touch
with her and I was able to get a very beautiful cake made
exactly how I wanted it for under $150.00.

Consider having a small intimate reception at your home or
someone elses home. The days of having a huge stuffy reception
at a hall or overpriced ballroom are over. People like to be
comfortable and cozy and surrounded by people that they love.
The fact is, the less people you invite the less expensive the
affair is going to be. When making your guest list consider
crossing off the second cousin you havent seen in 5 years or
the Aunt that lives on the other side of the country. Your
wedding day isnt about how many people you can cram into a
room. It is about being with the people you love and care about
the most. You can shave thousands of dollars off of your bill by
checking your guest list twice.
Once you have decided on a theme for your big event it is time
to go invitation shopping. Resist the urge to order all of those
thick wedding catalogs that sell invitations and accessories and
head on over to E-Bay. There are some very talented people out
there that earn a living on E-Bay creating custom made wedding
invitations at a fraction of the cost. For my wedding I was able
to get my invitations, response cards, reception cards and all
envelopes for just over $50.00 with shipping and handling. They
were made to my specifications and turned out beautiful. Now if
you are feeling creative and you have the time you can also try
making them yourself. There are invitation kits at craft stores

doing it this way.
Serve appetizers and Champaign instead of a 5 course meal and an
open bar and save thousands. Your guests will be just as happy
with some shrimp cocktails and crab cakes as they would the
traditional chicken & pasta with a salad on the side. And you
and your fianc will save a ton of money! Better yet do you know
someone who loves to cook?
Flowers are a very important part of any wedding and whether you
want real or artificial you want them to look nice. I found a
lady on the internet that makes artificial wedding bouquets at a
very reasonable price. What was great about her arrangements was
the flowers she used were not the fake looking silk flowers you
find in a craft store. They were made with latex and looked,
felt and even moved like they were real. So instead of paying
over $100 dollars on a real call-lily bridal bouquet I paid
approx $45. And the best part is that I get to keep them
forever. If you have your heart set on real flowers then buy
wholesale and make them yourself. You do not have to be a
florist to make a beautiful arrangement. Check online to find
instructions on how to make bouquets or keep it simple and just
carry a bunch of lilys or roses.
I mentioned E-Bay earlier and I am going to mention it again
because you can save big time by purchasing your favors,
supplies, matchbooks, napkins and any other accessories you may
need from reputable sellers there. Most of my items including my
bridesmaids jewelry, my tiara, veil etc were bought there and I
saved a mint! Bridal boutiques and specialty shops are so
overpriced. Think about it, would you rather pay $50 for
personalized beverage napkins or $10?

Dont be afraid to ask for help either, your friends and
families are probably just as excited as you are about your
upcoming wedding. You would be surprised at how much you can
save by investing some time and research into planning your
wedding day and delegating small tasks to others.
