The key to a great wedding is knowing where to spend and where to save! He are the 10 best ways to keep the bills down without compromising the integrity of the event :)
1) Trim your guest list. Your cost per head is your biggest expense.
2) Choose a gorgeous setting, you'll save a bundle on decorations.
3) Skip the off- site location and go with a reception site that comes with tables, chairs, flatware, and staff. (rentals add up to a substantial expense)
4) start the wedding earlier in the day. breakfast, Lunch, afternoon tea, or heavy hors d' oeuvres cost less than dinner, and Ellie's in e day , people drink less, lowering your liquor costs.
5)Limit alcoholic offerings to wine, beer, and signature cocktails.
6)Move the wedding from Saturday to Sunday; some vendors lower their fees for days that are less in demand.
7)Eliminate the champagne toast. Have guests toast to whatever they're drinking at the time.
8) instead of a band, hire a Deejay or use an iPod.
9) Opt for inexpensive printing method on your invitations. Use design cleverly and you can get a great effect with offset printing, for a fraction of the price of letterpress or engraving.
