Weddings are expensive. When my wife and I were married I discovered this myself 36 months ago. We only had about 60 guests, but when you put up the service, reception, music, photographer, video, limousines, tuxedoes and clothes, we still ended up spending over $15,000.
You has to start considering what is most significant to you today, if you are considering marriage in the longer term. Sit back along with your significant other and produce a listing of everything that you would prefer to have and rank them. Choose what you can live without, what you'd love to have, and what you absolutely must have. This will allow you to prioritize when it comes to allocating money.
Here are some things to consider in the event that you are planning for a wedding on a budget:
Food - Price and quality don't always go together in regards to food. I have visited expensive marriages with horrible food (we once left so dissatisfied that we stopped at Burger King on the way home). Where in actuality the food was delicious and I have visited low budget marriages. It is essential to discuss with for ideas and when possible go for a sampling before choosing a caterer. Also, buffets are generally more affordable than a sit down meal.
Site - If you are trying to cut costs, consider having your ceremony in a park or other external place, even a friend's backyard.
Time - Week-end days would be the busiest time for marriages and you'll pay reasonably limited for them. We got married on a at noon and it cost half the price to us of a Sunday night wedding. We could do not have provided the evening wedding at such a nice place.
Music - DJs are often much cheaper than live bands. Or if money is particularly tight, consider devoid of music or just playing your own personal. A friend of our's had a take a seat dinner for about 20 guests when she got married. There was no dancing but we all had a good time. Clicking company website probably provides aids you could tell your friend.
Flowers - Charges for flowers may differ wildly from florist to florist. It surely pays to look around. Also, if you use plants that are in season and available locally you'll cut costs. Out of season flowers need to be shipped from other areas of the planet and you will pay substantially extra for them.
Pictures - I encourage one to have photographs taken and Pictures certainly are a sentimental memento of your wedding day. However the cost may be high. Dollars will be cost several thousand by a professional photographer. Rates will be different with regards to the size of one's deal.
A more affordable option is to buy a couple of disposable cameras and so that your visitors usually takes pictures for you personally keep one on each table. The disadvantages are low quality and not enough the capability to control the pictures taken. If you work with a professional you can give her a list of the photos that you can't live without.
Movie - Prices and quality change with videographers as well. My wife watches our video on a regular basis so it was worth the cost. But when you are planning for a wedding on a budget you can probably live without it.
Limos - Skip the Hummer or Rolls Royce designs and stick with a standard limo and you'll save your self considerably.
