Wedding Ceremony Under A Budget
Tags: Wedding Planning, Weddings, Ceremony, Events

Getting married is one of the biggest joys in life and despite many people rolling their eyes when they hear of such an event, this step has an incredible symbolic and emotional meaning for all the people involved, not just the couple.

Love celebration hits a spot in the hearts of even the most rational and cerebral type of people. It is about the sacred bond between two people that decide to share their lives until death will separate them. But let’s be honest here for a moment: organizing a wedding is surely not an easy task and it sure doesn’t come cheap either.

If are running under a tight budget and you want to tie the knot with all your loved ones joining your, here’s how to organize a wedding ceremony under a budget:

1. Make your own wedding favors

Make Pinterest boards and crafting videos your best friends. There are so many DIY solutions for almost any decor or wedding memorabilia that you will definitely find something to suit your tastes. You can create amazing handmade favors for your guests with such a small investment that it will seem useless to go buy some mass-market souvenirs instead. You can plant some small decorative trees ( it is a very relaxing hobby as well), if you want and offer them as a token of appreciation, or buy some liquor and bottle it yourself.

Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes if you have time to do the research and steal some great ideas from other weddings. Or you can mention that there will not be a wedding gift list where the attendees should register and that you want things to be as laid back as possible, without any treats for your guests at the end of the party.

It’s all about how you feel most comfortable celebrating your union with your significant other. You can also outsource this task by looking for people with a talent for drawing in your extended circle of friends, who would be happy to help you with offering a sketch to your wedding guests after the party is over. People are very modest when it comes to their talents and so, you shouldn’t feel ashamed of asking them for help, they will probably have a great time as well.

2. Postpone if possible!

If you don’t have any other ways of saving money by cutting the extra-expenses, try and postpone the date of your wedding as much as possible. As counter-intuitive as it sounds, if there is no emergency or pressure from your in-laws, you can take your time and search for a date in the far future that is usually cheaper to rent for venues and bands.

Also, don’t forget to ask for alternatives for some of the services you are requesting and keep a clear situation of all the offers you receive so you pick the most convenient one.

3. Call a Dj instead of a live band

Music is mandatory at any type of ceremony or reception that you have in mind. Make sure to bring an energetic DJ that will compensate for the lack of a live band that is usually responsible with jazzing up the atmosphere. Not only will you have more room for your guests, less menus to pay and less phone calls to make, but you will also be able to change the music styles quickly to offer an eclectic experience.

Final Thought

It always seems impossible until it’s done! When it comes to formal events, there is nothing you can’t achieve! Bring your negotiations skills to the table and be ready to have a hands-on approach for your wedding preparations. You will be amazed to discover how much money you can save if you decide to have homemade cookies and handmade bouquets instead of asking professionals to manage the organizational tasks for you. It will surely be tiring as well, but, hey, the more effort you invest, the more satisfied you will be with the final result.
