Hey friends,
For those of you in the process of planning your wedding - or helping someone plan their wedding - here's a great article about budgeting and how to save money on the big idea and the details.
Tips from the article that I am already implementing:
1.) I am choosing to save money on my flowers and my cake. I found a picture of a simple bouquet through a google search, and I decided I would collect the parts for the bouquet and have a friend assemble them the day off the wedding. As for the cake, I will probably have several small round cakes designed and may add my own details after they are delivered.
2.) A friend will be designing the wedding programs. I am designing my own invitations and using materials from Michaels and JoAnn's; a friend is helping with the printing and assembly process.
3.) I am not serving favors at our wedding reception, since most guests do not remember to take a favor or even want one! And I've been to a lot of weddings, so I'm pretty sure it's an accurate assessment. I doubt any guest is going to complain or miss-out if I don't offer favors. It's a simple, easy thing to pick out of the wedding list that isn't necessary and will save money.
That sounds great! I definitely agree about the favors - I think companIes just enjoy coming up with new things you have to spend money on! We didnt give any and no one complained.
