Even if you are on a tight budget, there are a number of ways by which you can reduce costs and still have a beautiful but inexpensive wedding.

Don’t think it’s possible? Think you’re out of options?

Let’s look at 4 ways by which you can cut costs for your wedding:

#1: Reduce the number of Wedding Guests

The more names you add to your guest list, the more your costs are when it comes to the catering, rentals and favors and so on and so forth. You don’t have to invite people who you haven’t spoken to in years or even allow single people to bring a date either. There’s no need to invite work colleagues or even let friends bring their children.

#2: Find Cheap Wedding Dresses at sample sales or over the Internet

Samples sales happen once a year, and it’s the ideal time to get a designer dress at low prices. Sites like ebay and Craigslist among others might also have deals on inexpensive wedding dresses. Make sure you check them all out.

#3: Ask for Help If You Want to Save Money

One of the best ways to save money is to get your family and friends to help you out on your special day. Think of musicians you know, friends who can help putting things together or even others who can handle the marriage ceremony.

#4: Look for inexpensive Wedding food and drink options

Ask your caterer to discuss inexpensive wedding food and drink options or whether a buffet is cheaper than a seated dinner. Ask if you can serve your own wine or beer instead of a full bar. Better still, you can schedule a cocktail hour too. However, if you and your significant other don’t drink, then you can have a dry wedding.
