Tips on planning your wedding without Breaking the bank




8. Borrow stereo equipment 

Rather than hiring a live Band or Dj, you can hire a stereo equipment,speakers ,Put the speakers around the dance floor area – there’s no need to spread them around the entire reception. Create a playlist on your iPod that features a few hours’ worth of your favorite songs – or see if you have a friend who might want to make a playlist for you. Choosing your own songs is a great way to personalize your entire experience.

9. Sought the Drinks yourself

Alcohol is a big expense when it comes to a lot of weddings, and it’s also a big variable you can play around with to cut costs. Instead of opting for a full open bar, for instance, you can save money offering just soft Drinks, juice ,wine(Non alcohol) Look for a discount liquor store in your area, and stock up at the very least Keep in mind that you don’t want to run out of drinks halfway through the reception.

10. Display ‘vendor cards’ in exchange for reduced rates.

If you’re hiring people to provide services for your reception (musician DJ, Decorator, caterers, photographers, etc.), offer to advertise for them in exchange for reduced rates.
At the reception, put a small card by each person’s place setting that lists the businesses responsible for each service at the wedding, along with their contact information. Since this tends to be very effective advertising, many businesses will happily provide services at reduced rates in exchange for this opportunity.

11. Price shop for decorations 

We have different class of decoration, but considering you are on a low budget wedding won't make your demand for a sophisticated Decor, rather search for a Decor company on a promo package that suit your budget.

12.Check Bridal stores for Dresses on sales or Hire a Dress

To save your self from going out of budget ,try check some bridal stores for wedding gown/bridesmaid dresses
see if you can all find something “off the rack This works best if your colors are chosen ahead of time and if the store you’re shopping at carries plenty of sizes. To minimize spats within your wedding party, you can also shop ahead of time and only have them try on dresses you already approve of.
Another cheap wedding idea: Instead of buying new dresses,rent your wedding gown and have every bridesmaid wear a particular color dress they already own.

13. Rent tuxedos as a group, or simply wear matching suits.

Unless you have a specific reason for owning a tuxedo (and few people do), you should rent one. It’s often useful to rent the tuxedos as a group through as you’ll often get a group rate If you don’t want to go the tuxedo route, you can also have all of your groomsmen wear a black suit from home or other matching formal wear.

14. Choose affordable wedding rings.

Wedding bands are traditionally an important part of the marriage ceremony, symbolic of your commitment to each other. That doesn’t mean they have to cost you a fortune. If you’re trying to pull off your wedding on a budget, this is an area where you can trim costs pretty easily. Unlike the wedding itself, which is over all too quickly, you’ll (hopefully) be wearing this ring every day for the rest of your life – so it’s important you like the way it looks and feels. But again, that doesn’t mean it has to be too expensive Titanium, sterling silver, and other materials are less expensive, durable, and can be personalized for even deeper meaning.

15. Plan a simple honeymoon, not an ostentatiou

Instead of planning an expensive trip, focus on what matters: Unwinding after those hectic weeks leading up to your wedding, a time alone with your new spouse.
You could even just hop in the car and spend a week seeing all of the local sights you’ve never had time to see until now. Whatever you do, just enjoy this time together.
