Weddings are one of the most expensive events in one’s life. No matter how much you try to save and keep the event restrained, you always cross your budget. After all, everyone wishes to make the event beautiful and the most memorable day of their life. However, here are a few expert tips on how you can cut the costs and save some money on your budget, while still having a great wedding. Follow them and save money for your future.

• Plan your wedding on a weekday. Compared to weekends, weekdays are much cheaper.

• Instead of ordering your wedding cake, bake your own cake and get it decorated by a professional baker. This will save you a lot of money, as wedding cakes are extremely expensive.

• Email the wedding invites to all your friends and family or, simply get a website designed for the wedding. This will be cheaper than getting wedding invites printed and posted individually

• Choose to have an off-season wedding, for instance, time between May and September.

• Save more money by having the wedding and reception at the same venue. This will save you the transportation and decoration charges.

• Instead of having expensive favors, choose to have beautiful iced cupcakes as wedding favors for all your guests.

• Choose a beautiful wedding dress design and get it stitched in an economical fabric. Satin, Chiffon or Taffeta will do just fine.

• Don’t go for a plated menu. Instead choose buffet meals that will allow your guests to enjoy more food at cheaper rates.

• Take help of your friends and family to use their talent, ideas and skills to plan a gift rather than buy something expensive from a shop.
