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.

Even if you aren’t of Asian heritage, it doesn’t mean you can’t have an Asian wedding theme. Many couples enjoy the culture and colors so they are incorporating them into their wedding day.
If you are planning your wedding with an Asian theme, you have a lot of beautiful options for Asian wedding favors, decorations, and more. And don’t forget about the food, everyone loves delicious Chinese, Japanese and other Asian food.
For a Chinese wedding, red and gold colors are used. These colors are bold and lively, but also add a touch of sophistication. Some of my favorite Asian wedding favors are these beautiful Chinese Tapestry votive candles. Each stunning red candle is packaged in a black and red Chinese tapestry bag. The red drawstring braid draws the bag shut and features two gold-trimmed tassels. The tag on each favor has the Chinese symbol for Double Happiness.
You can get these unique wedding favors here at Truly for under $2 each, depending on how many you order. For more tips on Asian weddings, read our article about how to plan an Asian theme wedding.

If you are trying to cut costs at your wedding, you need to find items that can do double-duty. For example, instead of an expensive floral centerpiece on each table at the reception, you can have a basket of fresh fruit. The fruit makes a colorful centerpiece, while also offering your guests something to snack on.
This also goes for wedding favors. If you can find unique wedding favors that also do double-duty, you can get more bang for your buck. One of the best ways is with place card holders.
Many place card holders can be take away favors for your guests to bring home. For example, picture frame wedding favors can hold a place card during the reception and then used as a picture frame in your guests’ homes.
One of my favorites is the Calla Lily Photo/Place Card Holder pictured here. It’s great for a spring wedding or any wedding featuring a floral motif. Each elegant frame can hold the place card for seating assignments at your reception.
You can also slip in a photo of bride and groom under the place card. Then when your guests take them home they will have a cute photo of the happy couple in the frame. At under $2 each, these practical wedding favors and a great bargain.

A friend of mine told me about a very formal wedding that she atteneded recently where the couple gave store-bought cookies as wedding favors … and just two cookies to each guest. I’m not talking about any elaborate, expensive, beautiful cookies, but rather just generic cookies that cost a few cents each.

The wine and champagne are a big part of your wedding reception. If you have decided to serve wine, offer two choices – red and white if you are serving a wide array of foods. 
If your wedding is in the daytime with light fare, stick with a white wine, a zinfandel or even spritzers instead. If you are serving pastas and beef, then obviously reds are a better choice. Get more tips on choosing wine for your wedding.
You can also incorporate the wine theme into your wedding decorations and favors. Truly Wedding Favors offers a wide variety of wine wedding favors that include everything from bottle stoppers and wine charms to wine glass candles and personalized champagne flutes.
The Petite Merlot wine gel candle favor pictured here is a fantastic choice. Each favor consists of a single wine shaped candle holder that contains a wine colored gel candle. When lit, the beautiful candle lets off a harvest grape scent. Your guests will really adore these unique wedding favors!
