Ten Ways To Save Money For Your Wedding by oluwatomisin93(m): 10:17pm On Jul 14, 2015
From my little research on events especially wedding , though its not that easy to get everything in place but still an individual can save through the following ways
1 No matter how organised you are, find a friend or
outsider to assist you during the process. This will be
particularly handy as you approach your wedding day as
you will need to hand over control and responsibility. It’s
best if that person has a clear overview of your vision.
2 Budget, budget, budget. It’s important to be honest with
yourself, your partner, your teams and your wedding
coordinator when it comes to your budget. Set it and stick
to it to avoid overspending.
3 Make a list of the décor ideas that you would like to try.
Test these out as soon as possible. Keep notes of how
long they took to complete and the costs involved. This
will help you eliminate the less practical ideas and give
you some valuable tips you can pass on to the décor
team.
4 Where it’s impossible to avoid using a traditional
supplier, don’t be afraid to ask for a discount.
5 Keep a running list of all the contact names and
numbers for the big day. Make sure you give a copy of
this to your coordinator or maid of honour so that
someone other than you has the information necessary to
solve problems in the days leading up to the wedding. At
that stage you’ll be too busy to worry about the little
details.
6 When selecting a venue, be honest about your plans.
Ensure they’re comfortable with your DIY ideas and that
they allow things such as music and self-catering. Also,
ensure they are happy for you to set up a day in advance
and clean up the day after, and if there is an extra fee for
this.
7 Don’t be afraid to be flexible. ‘If you can’t find a team of
white horses and a glass carriage, it’s ok to make use of
that Rolls Royce you’ve been offered,’ says Jo.
8 Get creative! Send e-invitations to guests, name your
tables after your favourite childhood shows, wear a purple
wedding dress, have a different theme for each table, and
so on. This is your day and you have the power to make it
uniquely yours. If it fits in with your vision of your dream
wedding, make it happen!
9 ‘Consider hiring a photographer only to take official
portraits, but then ask all the guests to take as many
pictures as possible of the rest of the day and share them
with you,’ says Jo.
10 Prioritise and invest in the important things. Take a
look at all the elements involved in realising your dream
day. Now examine your available resources and budget
and prioritise. You can’t get married without a marriage
official, rings, a venue and food, but perhaps you don’t
need a budget-breaking wedding car or a make-up artist.
