Saving money on your wedding is not only a smart idea for your budget, but it’s also practical. There are many wedding “extras” that you don’t really need or even want, so it’s helpful to know what they are without knowing the difference before you buy them. If you want or need to save money, here’s how to save money on your wedding, reception, wedding flowers, gifts, invitations, and more.
● Trim your guest list.
● Get married on any day except Saturday.
● Consider a non-traditional wedding venue.
● Have a longer engagement.
● Get married off-peak season.
● Seat more guests at larger tables.
● Fit your ceremony program on one page.
● Hire a DJ instead of a band.
● Buy your wedding dress on Etsy.
● Save money on your wedding at an outdoor park or backyard.
