With the struggling economy and the rising costs of planning a wedding, you are probably looking for simple ways to save money. Here are a few easy ways to cut back on your wedding costs without sacrificing style.
Have a dessert only reception.
Instead of a traditional sit down dinner, have a dessert only reception. This is the perfect alternative for an evening wedding. You can offer an array of luscious desserts, dessert wines, coffee and other specialty drinks.
Skip the fresh flowers.
Silk flowers are often cheaper than their fresh counterparts, and you can use them over again for many other occasions. If you love the aroma and look of fresh flowers, be sure to select blooms that are in season and locally grown to reduce costs.
Cut back the guest list.
No one says that you have to invite every acquaintance and distant relative to your wedding. Instead, keep the guest list small with just your close family and friends.
Serve cupcakes.
Instead of a traditional wedding cake, serve cupcakes. Everyone loves cupcakes and they can be presented in tiers to resemble a wedding cake. You can still have a small cake on top for the cake cutting ceremony.
Save on wedding favors.
Beautiful, unique wedding favors don’t have to be expensive. Truly Wedding Favors offers a variety of cheap wedding favors in beautiful designs and styles. You can also purchase wedding favor boxes or bags to package almonds, mints, cookies or other goodies at a very low cost. Other low cost favors include key chain wedding favors, bookmark wedding favors and candle wedding favors.
