  • Only VIP’s. When hosting a wedding, most of your costs will come from catering to your guest list. If you want to cut the costs of your big day, don’t be afraid to cut the guest list. Only the most important people need to be present. You don’t have to feel obligated to send an invitation to your distant cousins or friends from high school if you don’t want to. With a smaller guest list, you will certainly save a great deal of money.
  • Consider Your Stationery. Your invitations are also another large expense! You can cut costs from the start when you choose to do DIY wedding invitations. These showcase your unique touch and present a more personal invite to your guests. If you want to save even more money, you can choose to do a creative wedding website with all of the important information. It can even help you get your guests more involved and hyped for your big day.
    • Electronic invitations are a wonderful way to save money by not having to purchase paper or postage, and it will allow you to present an eco-friendly option.
  • Making It Yours. The perfect bridal gown is a must for any bride! But, if such a large price tag is too much for your budget, you can visit a consignment shop. This gives you the opportunity to save money and up-cycle a gown to make it exclusive just for you.
