Managing Your Wedding Planning on a Budget
You have a budget for your wedding and maybe it is quite tight overall.
But you can still have a dream wedding with some careful wedding planning.
Begin by understanding exactly what budget you have available and consider whether you want a traditional style wedding or one that is more non traditional.
With the latter you have many ways that you can cut down on costs and it can be fun to plan too.
Alternatively, you could decide on a smaller wedding, just with really close family and friends and this would certainly cut down on some of the costs associated with a big wedding.
Some people decide during their wedding planning to do something like a beach wedding, this will certainly cut the costs down and you just need to find someone to marry you on the beach and set up a restaurant, buffet or barbeque nearby.
This can be a much more casual way to get married and be a very personal experience for yourselves and your guests.
One thing to remember is that your wedding day should not just be about the money but about celebrating your special day with those close to you.
If you decide you want a more traditional style wedding, you could choose a smaller more intimate event as part of the wedding planning.
There is no need to feel that you have to invite everyone you know from your best friends through to someone you have just met.
Think of ways to achieve the wedding of your dreams by choosing people to attend your wedding ceremony and then perhaps inviting a smaller core group to your reception.
Maybe invite all the people for a glass of wine before you head off to the reception.
This can be a great way to celebrate with a wide group of friends and not burst your budget by inviting everyone to the reception.
Making your own wedding decorations is another fun way you can reduce wedding costs.
Instead of paying for expensive made up items, you can go to your local craft shop and engage your creativity or that of some of your close friends and make some great personalized decorations for the big day.
Simply by using ribbons and balloons you can add a splash of colour to any rooms or table.
The more flexible you are with your wedding planning, the more you can achieve with your budget and achieve a wonderful wedding day to remember always.
