Planning can often be very stressful and, more to the point, expensive. This doesn’t need to happen though. We have a great list of wedding hacks to save you time and money when planning your special day.
Our first tip is to ask for wedding help instead of gifts. If you have some talent amongst your friends and family you can save a lot of money instead of hiring people. If you have musicians in your family saving on a band or DJ by using family or friends can save a lot of money.
Another great skill you can utilise is photography. If someone you know has a good eye you can save save save by using them.
Other ways friends and family can help is by buying the flowers you need for the wedding. Asking for flowers instead of gifts will save money on one of the usual large expenses in the wedding and does not cost everyone individually very much.
Building on this you can also recruit friends and family to make decorations for you. Things such as table decorations and confetti are both great ideas for involving others in the wedding planning process.
The next money saving tip is to do as much as you can yourself. Things such as invitations,decorations, table plans, wedding favours… and if you have any specialist skills you can do almost any part of your wedding.
Our last tip for today is a new fashion in budget weddings is to stock the bar yourself. Stock your bar up in bulk and only charge your guests a cost price for the drink. You will receive the money back you spent and your guests won’t need to pay the average bar prices for a drink.
