Your wedding doesn??t have to cost a fortune when you shop around. Inexpensive weddings can be very elegant and give the guests the impression that you have spent a lot of money. Start by making a budget of how much you can afford to spend on all facets of the wedding the clothing, the venue, the meal, the decorations, the flowers and the photos and video. Then you can start shopping for reasonable and inexpensive prices in those areas. The venue presents a significant portion of the cost of the wedding. If you book a private room in a hotel or club, this is likely to run you into many dollars. You can save money by choosing a public venue, such as a park for example. You can even have the reception in the backyard of your parents` home or a friends` home. All you need to do is have enough chairs for the guests and a canopy for protection just in case it rains. It is very inexpensive to rent chairs and the canopy so you won??t have to buy these items.
Even when you have the reception outdoors, you may still want to have the wedding catered. This is also costly. You can buy all the food prepared and have it set up on tables so that the guests serve themselves. Serving a cold meal is less expensive than a hot meal and can be set out in advance on the tables. Instead of having servers for the tea and coffee, you can have self-serve canisters of hot water available which will allow the guests to have tea or coffee whenever they want.
The cost of the music is also one that you have to take into consideration. It is less expensive to hire a DJ for the music than a band. In fact, you could even rent a sound system, record your own music and have one of your friends look after the music for you. In this way you can make sure you have a selection of music that you like and that which will suit the tastes of your guests at all ages.
You can obtain the alcoholic beverages from a wholesaler at a lower cost than by buying them from the liquor store. Make your own wines and offer a selection of drinks. You will also need wine for the table as well as for drinks for the guests during the dance. Buying kegs of wine will also lower your costs if you don??t want the chore of making the wine yourself.
Consider buying silk floral arrangements as centrepieces for the tables rather than buying real flowers. These are much cheaper and you can pick them up at department and dollar stores. Make your own wedding favors by wrapping Hershey kisses in tulle and attaching a little Thank you note for the guests. Refrigerator magnets are also inexpensive ideas for favours that you can order in any amount when you shop online. Use balloons and paper streamers for the decorations and have a decorating party in which you can enlist the help of all your friends. Ebay is one such online location where you can find deals like this.
