Weddings are wonderful. Many people think a
lot of money is the best way to make a classy, memorable occasion, but that is
false. You can have a great wedding and you don't need to go broke. There are
tips in this article to teach you how to have a great wedding on a budget.
Pick
your wedding date
To be at a memorable time in your life. For
example, Valentine's Day is a romantic time to get married and is also an easy
date to remember. A birthday or other anniversary is also an excellent choice.
This will make remembering the date easier if either of you are very forgetful!
It can also give you a theme to work with like hearts or birthday candles.
Including
pets in a wedding
Can be a fun, original way to celebrate your
union! Dress your doggy up as a groomsman or bridesmaid and take them up the
aisle with you. But do have someone take the dog away during the actual
ceremony so it doesn't end up barking or doing something it shouldn't!
When
taking photos at a wedding
Things can get hectic. Have a family member
help the photographer out by getting all the family together when it's time to
have group shots. It's a lot easier to call people by name in the case that
they're not doing what they're supposed to be.
A beach
wedding can be awesome
But ensure you have the proper footwear to
make it through uninjured. You can find beautiful bedazzled bridal flip flops
which will be far more comfortable for you on the sand while being inexpensive
and attractive, too. You can keep them and reuse them to remember your special
day!
Put a
lot of thought into the seating
Chart that you create for your wedding. Make
sure that the elderly do not have to travel a long way to get to their seat and
that your family is close to you. Also, try to have the members of each family
sit with each other.
Make
sure that you never plan
Your bachelor or bachelorette parties the day
before the wedding. There may be a lot of drinking at these parties, and the
last thing that you will want to do is ruin the day of your wedding because you
are not fully functional. Have a calm day right before your wedding.
You
should avoid smoking or drinking beer
From the bottle while at your own wedding
reception. It's just gauche and tacky to be seen doing something so pedestrian,
so try to live up to the classy theme of your wedding. After the reception you
can go home, light up a stogie and get wasted, if you so desire.
Having
a family member photograph
Your wedding can save you a lot of money, but
you have to remember that you'll get what you pay for. They probably won't have
expensive lighting rigs or the latest camera equipment, so your shots will end
up looking less than professional. That said, they can still be beautiful, so
don't worry! Just don't have high expectations that could make your family
member feel guilty.
It is
okay to let loose at your wedding reception
Many people take their wedding day too
serious and do not remember it is supposed to be a joyous occasion. When this
happens, they look back at their special day with unpleasant memories. Laugh
with your guests, and dance to upbeat music.
Bridal
fashion changes
Drastically from year to year. Unless you are
set on spending the money and storage space necessary to preserve and keep your
wedding dress, consider renting a gown instead. Most formal wear rental
companies are very reasonable in price and policies, and you can wear the
expensive designer dress of your dreams for pennies compared to buying it for a
one-time wearing.
Make
sure you book
A professional
wedding photographer. Your wedding day is probably a day you will want to
remember for the rest of your life. By hiring a professional photographer for
the day, you can make sure that you get some tangible evidence of the day that
you can keep for the rest of your life.
When
you are planning
Your wedding reception, and money is tight,
you should choose buffet style to serve your guests. The bottom line is, buffet
service is much cheaper than having your guests served dinner individually. If
money is tight, conserve the resources for something you really need, like a
place to live or furniture.
If you
want a destination wedding
You should probably visit the location before
or have someone do it for you. You can find agencies that offer this kind of
services. You should do as much research as possible in advance so that you are
not disappointed when you get there.
When it
comes to a wedding
Be sure to consider the date of your wedding
in accordance to everybody that you would like to have attend. This is
important because while it is meant to be your special day, you want to be sure
that you are not causing logistic problems for people that you would like to
have attend but cannot due to other schedule conflicts.
To be
certain of having a happy
Bride on the wedding day, be sure that all
arrangements are of a type and quality she will appreciate. Planning a wedding
and dealing with problems will make a bride stressed and anxious. To avoid
this, run everything you're planning through her first.
When
someone gives
You a gift for your wedding, even if you say
"thank you" to them personally, always send a card in the mail
thanking them for the gift. In this modern world of technology we often think
that social media sites or text messages suffice for a thank you from a
wedding. This simply is not true and it is tacky to not send thank you cards
for wedding presents.
It may take time, but you don't have to spend
lots of money. Put the above tips to use to have a great, memorable wedding.
