Wedding Tip of the Week – Creating a Wedding Budget

Need help sticking to your wedding budget? This week's wedding tip gives you a few ideas on cutting costs but still having your dream wedding.

1. Keep it realistic: A venue can be a big chunk of your budget, so think about gardens, beaches, parks of even your own backyard. Even get creative with your venue by having it at your college campus or where your proposal took place.
2. Guest List – Keep the guest list simple. Don't invite every single person you know. Instead, invite the people you are closest with. The fewer guests you have at your wedding means fewer expenses on invitations, seating, food and postage.
3. Wedding Decor – Your wedding doesn't have to have elaborate decorations. You can easily keep it simple by using items you, friends or family members already have within your home. You can also shop at thrift stores for unique vases, candles and unique antique pieces.

There are other numerous ways you can easily cut costs. Also, don't forget to talk with your vendors. They may have budget friendly packages or know of ways to cut costs as well.
