It can be hard to make personalized invitations in time for the wedding. Next, choose the wedding party and attire. Keeping the number of wedding party participants down to two or three can eliminate problems in finding matching dresses or suits, Freeman said. To limit travel problems, couples should choose people who live close by. The wedding party's attire should look similar, but does not have to be identical.
Men can wear black suits, white shirts and complimenting ties.
Women can choose dresses that they might wear at other times during the year, but follow a common color or style. Barbara Johnson, a Forrest County Extension home economist, said renting dresses and tuxedos can save time and money. Artificial floral arrangements and other plants are also available for rent in many areas. If all the attire is rented from the same place, they may offer a lower price. Johnson said minimal decorations are another way to save time and money for a wedding.
