For most couples there isn’t any reason to overspend on their wedding. You really can get more for less. Then you’ll be able to spend the most on what matters the most, like your Honeymoon!

Here are Some Ways to Cut the Fat from Your Wedding

Off-Peak Wedding Reception Date
Venues and vendors often offer discounts for weekday or off-season weddings. And you can sometimes add an afternoon or brunch wedding to reduce the cost even further.
DIY Invitations & Décor
You can make your own invitations and save $100s or even $1000s, depending on how elaborate the invitations are. So, save the environment and go digital. You can design your gorgeous wedding invitations using an online tool and print them or send them digitally. A company like Evite can also track your RSVPs and keep your wedding on track.
Rent or Buy a Pre-Owned Wedding Dress
Aside from your rings, the wedding dress is a huge expenditure. And a wedding dress is something you’ll wear only once and then you’ll keep it in storage for the rest of your life. Sure, possibly your future daughter might want to use it, but if you’re not buying a well-crafted top of the line dress, it is not likely to hold up.
There are budget options like borrowing from a wedding dress collection your church curates for brides of all ages. You will give the organization a donation. This will save you $1000s!
Or you can buy a used dress from a former bride who is selling hers – then donate it back to her after the wedding. Now it is “something borrowed”!
