  • What associations do you have with the word «wedding»? A chic banquet with a huge number of guests, a magnificent (read, expensive) dress of the bride, an equally respectable suit of the groom, a fabulous crew and other pleasant but expensive joys? Some newlyweds go into debt to organize everything «top notch»; others ask parents «to sponsor» event, forcing them to borrow money from someone. But the question can be resolved easily and simply by making cheaper individual cost items for a wedding.

How to play a wedding inexpensively but beautifully?

Has this situation ever happened to you: a solemn event to which you are invited is organized in an expensive restaurant; the budget is clearly unlimited, and boredom does not leave most of the guests, counting the minutes until the moment when it decently will take off and leave the holiday? In the understanding of many, a cheap wedding is a dining room on the outskirts of the city, simple dresses «a la local market», minimum invited, not the best banquet menu. Let's try to dispel such misconceptions.

The soul invested in organizing a wedding, the imagination of newly-married organizers, the desire of relatives and friends to provide all possible assistance in preparation are the main conditions for a memorable ceremony. Analyze the estimated costs of the wedding. Make a business plan for a cheaper and more expensive option. Organizing a celebration by contacting the specialists of the event agency will be much more expensive than preparing a wedding yourself.

Another savings item will be choosing the right wedding theme: rustic style «rustic» - on top of popularity. Cheap celebration organization will force «to work», but the effort is worth it. A buffet reception outdoors - a fascinating event; choose outfits for the bride and groom in the theme of the wedding; DIY wedding bouquets and decorations; think over the scenario of the holiday.

For active newlyweds, going outdoors instead of a traditional banquet will help at the same time «keep up appearances» in the registry office and give freedom, the opportunity to fool around and spend time the way you want after that. The cost of renting a minibus for those invited will be less than booking a restaurant or contacting a kiting company. With dishes for the wedding, offer to help mothers, sisters, friends. Men will adequately manage meat. Capture photos, video equipment to capture the unforgettable moments of a romantic holiday.

Choosing a venue for the celebration

To make a cheap wedding, determine the location of the ceremony:

  • Restaurant or cafe. Pay attention to such moments:
  1. Location. As a rule, popular establishments are located in the city center. Prices for banquets, weddings, and the cost of dishes in them are not small. The remoteness of the cafe from the central part of the city plays into the hands of newlyweds who prefer to make an inexpensive but high-quality banquet.?
  2. «Name» restaurant for a wedding. Promoted, famous cafes do not mind part «popularity» include in the cost of service. To save money, do not be lazy to find a new, recently opened institution. To attract customers, they can often make discounts..
  3. Pre order. Having decided on the venue for a cheap wedding, order a banquet in advance. Make a contract indicating the prices of the wedding menu.
  4. Wedding conditions. Most modern cafes, restaurants offer live music, animators. If desired, discuss the amount of the cost of musicians' services with the administrator by including an item in the contract. Such a service will cost less than hiring third-party artists for a wedding.
  5. The period of the holiday. The end of autumn, winter and the beginning of spring are traditionally «low season» for the restaurant business. If you are planning a wedding during this period, bonuses, promotions and discounts await you.

  • Country house, cottage. Ask friends, acquaintances, whether they would agree to provide suburban housing for newlyweds to make a cheap wedding. If there is such an opportunity, feel free to grab onto the offer: fresh air, inexpensive products, alcohol, saving on decor, renting and other joys outweighs any concerns.

  • Banquet hall of the registry office. Did you decide to go on a honeymoon after the festive painting? Order a mini-buffet at the registry office of the registry office - make a treat for family and friends by organizing an inexpensive wedding.

Invite a small number of guests

A large number of invitees to the wedding entail additional costs. But often some people are invited «because it’s so customary»: superiors, distant relatives, «necessary» acquaintances. If you want to make the wedding cheaper, discuss with a future spouse a narrow circle of guests, inviting the closest, dearest people, whom you are always welcome.

Reduce costs on newlywed outfits

Choose a dress for the bride for rent - this will make it possible to make this part of the wedding business plan cheaper. Another economical, but risky option is to order a newlywed outfit through online stores: both foreign and domestic. In this case, opt for the model that you previously tried on in the wedding salon.

The savings will be so significant that some waiting time for the order will fly by. When choosing a suit for the groom, choose one in which your beloved spouse will continue to appear on holidays or go to work. The wealth of offers of high-quality, but cheaper shoes provides the opportunity to choose shoes that will be useful to you in the future.

Decorate the car and the ballroom yourself

When ordering a wedding car, be prepared to invest in renting it: decorations, rental and downtime are not cheap. Would you like to organize a cheaper version of the bridal tuple? Ask family, friends, or acquaintances for a request «provide» cars at your disposal on your wedding day. Pre-think the decor, make or purchase jewelry.

Call your girlfriends, relatives to decorate the banquet hall. To match the decor of the room for the ceremony with the theme of the wedding, think in advance of the general style, what accessories, materials you will need. Use inexpensive tinsel, balloons, garlands of flowers to decorate the hall. This will make an ordinary wedding venue delightful..
