No, you don’t have to spend more than five figures in a
wedding. And no, it won’t be any less special than the weddings your parents or
your cousin had. An affordable wedding only requires an open mind and dedication
to the goal. Here are three things you could do to make your weddings more
affordable.
1. Choose
an Unlikely Venue
The sad thing with wedding-themed venues is that they charge
more for weddings than other functions. Choosing a park and renting a gazebo,
for example, could make for some unique and creative wedding proceedings.
Weddings don’t have to be the mainstream idea most of the time; you could
create memories in any place you choose, and you save money too.
2. Catering
A good catering service does not have to be the
snootley-type with formalities. Have you and your spouse find a non-catering
restaurant that serves the food you both love. You’ll never guess that both of
you would pay less while enjoying the food you love with people that matter.
3. People
That Matter
Regarding that last sentence, weddings are very expensive
because most couples invite every inch of their bloodline into the wedding.
Cutting back on your wedding participants also lessens the wedding costs. Not
that you’re playing favourites, but not everyone is that significant in your
wedding. Your parents, closest friends and some cousins are the ones that
really matter. We know that you know that.
