Keeping your wedding low-cost seems almost impossible when you have bridal magazines, $4,000 dresses, and expensive photography packages being shoved at you from the time you get engaged. If you keep your wits about you and plan wisely, you can keep a low-budget wedding cost.
If you are flexible in when you want to get married, you can save a lot of money--peak wedding months are May--September, so if you are open to a late fall or winter wedding, banquet halls will not only work with you on cost, but probably toss in some freebies with your package. They want to get those banquet rooms and hotel rooms booked, and they are willing to work with you to do that.
Another great idea is a shorter guest list. Yes, it may sound impossible, but it is surprisingly easy to do. My original guest list was 200 people! When we cut it down to immediate family, their spouses, and their children, we were able to drop it to forty people. People are usually more understanding than one would expect.
A side benefit of having a smaller guest list is that many more tasks are easier to do yourself. For instance, it's much easier to make forty invitations than 200. You'll end up saving money on more than just the reception by having a small guest list. Additionally, it can completely change the mood of the event. Instead of feeling rushed and trying to get around to talk to everyone all night, you'll just be with your closest friends and new spouse. With these tips, you can shave thousands off your wedding bill--and the memories of your wedding will be represented in photographs, not high credit card bills!
A low-budget wedding cost is possible even when it seems like everyone's spending tens of thousands of dollars. http://www.YourBudgetWedding.info has tips and secrets that will help you save money on your big day.
