Inexpensive Wedding Ideas - Tips to Save on Your Big Day

In reality, no one would really dare to have a ''cheap'' wedding. However, there are many smart brides who plan on spending their wedding budget wisely on essential details that matter most to them and their loved ones. You've dreamed for a perfect wedding day on your entire life, but how long have you been saving money for that special moment of your life? You might think of possible ways on how to save on your wedding day, while still having an all-time dreamed wedding celebration. Below are some helpful tips for you.

Choose to have an off date or time. You may consider having your wedding day on a Friday night or on a Sunday brunch. Or perhaps, set it on a Thursday night or Saturday afternoon. Religious obligations may steer at some point, but moving away from a Saturday evening affair will give you extra money to splurge for an amazing honeymoon.

Choose and off month. Many are wishing of becoming a June bride, but becoming a January through March bride can save a lot of your wedding budget. Take full advantage of having an off wedding month for many vendors, including caterers and musicians, usually charge cheaper rates. If you still want to have a Saturday night wedding, make sure to do it indoor. Consider a Winter Wonderland!

Consider a location that comes with almost everything. Great options include using a raw space, or using your own backyard. These options will save you a lot of dollars than renting a golf court or other playing field. Having one from the two options had already set you apart, now all you need to consider next are your tents, tables, chairs, linens, etc.

Tailor your menu. Having a buffet will not always be less expensive. There may be less staff involved, however a buffet has always a lot of food to serve, thus it will increase the the catering's price as well as the cost that you will have to pay. An elegant seated luncheon or dinner of appetizer, salad, entrée and wedding cake will be plenty. If you have a sweet tooth - skip the salad and opt for an extra dessert. You don't have to make your cocktail extravagant, instead keep it simple. You guests will not requests a meal before a meal. An hors d'ouevres filled cocktail hour will be elegant and more than enough!

Since your wedding include something borrowed, you may always ask to borrow some of your bridal accessories from a friend or a sister. Or, if you have the skill to make your own wedding veil, then it would a great advantage. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars just for a wedding gear that you, most likely, will not wear it again.

Save a buck by giving affordable wedding favors and gifts. There are many cheap wedding favors available in many online stores. Shopping online is one of the most less expensive shopping option especially for those who have tight budget. You may also consider giving inexpensive bridesmaids gifts to your bridesmaids, as well as discount groomsmen gifts to your groomsmen.
