5 Ways to Save on Wedding Budget

The Wedding Budget..

• Once finished basking in the glow of engagement, its very hard to get anything accomplished without a detailed wedding budget.

• There are a lot of hidden costs in the weddings.

• Here, we have explained a few ways to reduce the costs of the wedding which can be put to use somewhere else

1. Picking Dates

• Getting married in off season or a weekday has its advantages.

• You can save up to 30% on venue, decor and catering costs.

• The same venue slashes up to 30-40% of their costs in April-June than what they charge for December.

2. Venue Cost Savers

• Indoor banquets cost much lesser to decorate and hence can turn out much cheaper as well than outdoor venues.

• Ask your venue if outside alcohol is allowed, and if it is then this could be a cost saver too.

• However remember to ask them how much they would charge for corkage.

3. Catering Cost Savers

• Swap out main course dishes for live counters.

• Guests tend to eat a lot of starters and live station items which are paid for by a fixed fee anyway . Hence lesser plates are picked up.

• Also include a generous amount of items like chaat which are cost effective

4. Decor Cost Savers

• Flowers are expensive, but floral printed table linen can make the banquet look just as full without need of extra flowers.

• Also using candles and other beautiful props can cut down on your decor cost.

• Swapping flowers with beautiful green shrubs for example is another great idea.

5. Invitation Cost Savers

• Instead of sending out traditional invites one can use the technology to create a wedding website which will be cost effective.

• If going for traditional invites then matte papers cost lesser than glossy effect papers and standard printing is half the cost of the raised, engraved lettering. Rounded corners also cost more than standard rectangular corners.
