The Low Budget Wedding War

There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, let’s look at the tacky way. You could have a settle for wedding. There are plenty of nickel and dime ways that you can save on the cost of your wedding.

• Invite fewer guests
• email the invitations
• You could buy a used wedding dress and your bridesmaids, (if you have more than one), could do the same
• You could make your own table decorations and wedding favors
• Bake your own cake
• Hold your wedding reception at home or at a friends house
• Have a ‘pot luck’ reception and let your guests bring the food
• Cut out the limousines and use taxis

Be honest. This is not sounding like the wedding of your dreams, is it? Let’ look at plan B. Namely, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to get it at a price that you can afford. Can this be possible you ask. Yes it is, but you have to know what you are up against.

The wedding business is an business like any other and it is motivated by the bottom line. Everything associated with weddings has an inflated price tag. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the price soar. When you see the price tag on a wedding gown, you would be shocked at what it actually cost to make it.

And then there are all the extras that really make your wedding day. At least that’s what they’ll tell you. In reality, it is giving a huge boost to their bottom line. All the wedding professionals have their techniques to extract the last dime out of you. No wonder the average cost of a wedding is now over $26,000, largely due to this budget creep.

So do you have to miss out on some the things that you would really like for your big day? Not on your life. You just need to know what you are dealing with so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The premium prices associated with weddings leave plenty of room for discounts. Particularly now that times are hard. The wedding industry is struggling too.

Armed with the right information, you can save half or more on the cost of almost every wedding item. Your Low Budget Wedding can still be the stylish affair that you always dreamed of, without breaking the bank. And you can decide whether you tell your friends how much it really cost.
