Wedding expenses consume the lion's share of the budget, sometimes you have to take out a loan. It is difficult to save money on this celebration, but it is possible to do it. You need to foresee all expenses and calculate where you can get benefits.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a dress in salons where discounts or bonuses are provided, for example, if you buy an outfit and you are presented with a veil and shoes. Alternatively, sew to order. Contact the atelier, they will pick up the fabric for you, advise the finish. Agree with the store, where you can often rent a dress for half its cost, there are places where an item already purchased can be taken back after the celebration for 1/2 of the original price.
Step 2
Prepare invitations to the celebration. They can be made to order, bought in a store. The cheapest way is to do it yourself. There are many options for making: these are photographs framed in small frames with accompanying inscriptions, clippings from magazines, decorated as invitation cards, etc. It all depends on the imagination.
Step 3
Save money on transport. Order a bus or a minibus for guests - it will cost less than a limousine and foreign cars. The rental of such cars is small, so the benefits are obvious.
Step 4
Order a cake made using traditional technology. It will cost less than modern airy cakes with fireworks, fountains, figurines in a specialized pastry shop. Or you can take a culinary initiative and bake a dessert yourself, it will be much more profitable at cost price, and you do not have to pay for the work.
Step 5
Decorate a restaurant or cafe hall yourself. Inflate balloons 2-3 hours before the start of the celebration, not earlier. Buy flowers in ordinary kiosks or shops, in salons and to order, it will be significantly more expensive, even with preliminary registration of the application. Walking the wedding at home, you can limit yourself to vases with bouquets from guests.
Step 6
Make a bridal bouquet yourself or order it in advance, this will save at least 10% of the amount. Discard fireworks and fireworks, replace them with the launch of balloons inflated with helium. Competitive prizes such as key chains, soap, small toys, combs, magnets can be purchased from wholesalers.
Step 7
Ask, it is possible that beauty salons offer discounts if you order not only a hairstyle, but also a makeup and a bride's manicure. You can do this yourself, you just need to practice in advance.
Step 8
You do not need to resort to the services of holiday agencies, but find a toastmaster, photographer and videographer from advertisements, resorting to the advice of friends. After meeting with the candidates, find out if they have any discounts.
Step 9
When choosing a restaurant or cafe, be guided by the rule - the further from the center, the cheaper. Newly opened establishments offer discounts to their customers, while their service is high. Order not a pig, but simple but tasty dishes. Place your bet on decor and decoration. Specify what products are used in cooking: seasonal products are cheaper, and their freshness and fullness of taste will be appreciated by guests. Ask for snacks without meat, instead of salmon - trout.
Step 10
Buy jewelry instead of jewelry, give up gloves and a bride's handbag. Make the groom's boutonniere yourself or buy a ready-made one from artificial flowers, you should not order it in a flower shop.
Step 11
Conduct a bride buyout without financial contests. Refuse releasing pigeons when leaving the registry office or for a walk. The wedding procedure can be carried out without musical accompaniment and after that you can not treat guests to champagne in a separate room.
