Set a budget
Decide on a realistic budget and stick to it. Prioritize what's most important to you and allocate funds accordingly.
Choose an off-peak date
Consider getting married during the off-peak season or on a weekday to save on venue and vendor costs.
Opt for a non-traditional venue
Look for unique and affordable venues such as parks, community centers, or even a friend's backyard.
Simplify the guest list
Limit the number of guests to close family and friends to reduce catering and venue expenses.
DIY decorations and favors
Get creative and make your own decorations and wedding favors to save on costs.
Consider a weekday wedding
Weekday weddings are often more affordable than weekend ones, and vendors may offer discounts for off-peak days.
Use digital invitations
Send out digital invitations instead of traditional paper ones to save on printing and postage expenses.
