Getting married? Ten things you can do to not bust your budget.
Budgetary constraints need not mean your wedding is less meaningful, a less beautiful or a less memorable event.
Here are some tips to lessen your costs and increase the specialness and uniqueness of your celebration.
#1 Make your own invitations, hand deliver or email them.
#2 Elope
#3 Have your ceremony at home or the property of a friend.
#4 Write your own wedding ceremony.
#5 Hire a celebrant or officiant just to do the legal part of your marriage ceremony.
Negotiate a reduced fee on that basis.
Involve friends and or family in the remainder of your ceremony.
#6 Have your guests bring a flower, a plate of food and a beverage to share.
# 7 Wear recycled or pre loved wedding celebration outfits or make your own.
#8 Fashion a bouquet from all the flowers brought along by your guests.
#9 Have a friend or relative take photos and digitally send them to guests.
#10 have a few guests or family members play music or entertain wedding ceremony guests.
