Instead of planning your wedding on a weekend night, instead have it during the day on the weekend or even on a weekday evening. Most venues and banquet halls charge exponentially higher prices on Saturday nights.

Having a sponsored wedding is a great way to save money on your wedding. A sponsored wedding is just like a regular wedding, however sponsors are used to offset some of the costs. If you limit the sponsors and keep it classy, a sponsored wedding can be virtually identical to a non-sponsored wedding.

Oftentimes, food is a major percentage of a wedding budget. However, that doesn’t always have to be the case. You can easily limit the food at your wedding. Have a buffet instead of a sit down meal. Or to save even more money, you can serve only drinks and desserts at your wedding reception. Although, be sure to indicate on your wedding invitation what will be served at the wedding.

Using silk flowers instead of fresh flowers will help reduce your wedding costs. Silk flowers are normally a little cheaper than fresh and you can re-use silk flowers for years to come. If you enjoy the fragrance of fresh flowers, you can have the bridal bouquet done in your favorite fresh flowers. Then use silk flowers for the centerpieces and other decorations.

Popular wedding reception facilities book up quickly for evening weddings. However, you can sometimes find afternoon or mid-morning hours available at a cut rate. A Saturday afternoon wedding can be a terrific option, particularly for an outdoor garden wedding.

Beautiful wedding favors don’t have to be expensive. You can make your own wedding favors by placing almonds, candies, mints and other treats in small tins and other packages. Truly Wedding Favors offers a terrific collection of wedding favor bags, boxes and tins at cheap prices.

It can be tempting to invite anyone and everyone to your wedding. That said, limiting your guest list is the easiest way to save money on your wedding. The fewer guests you invite, the more money you can save. Limiting your wedding to close friends and family can be a enormous money saver.
