No one wants to talk about the wedding budget but it's always in the back of your mind. How much is this going to cost me? Will this put me over budget? Do I have room in another area? You can create the wedding of your dreams with any budget! You just have to know what to keep and what you can go without. Your wedding is about the two of you joining together for the rest of your lives, you don't have to have a dessert trio in addition to your wedding cake or and ice sculpture, in fact there are many things you can do without.
For example, many people spend a fortune on a wedding videographer, but how often ar eyou actually going to watch it. Probably on your 1st anniversary, but not more than that. Skip it all together, pictures invoke the memories you want to feel and remember.You won't be reminded that you stumbled over your vows.
Limos: They are so cliche and no longer really necessary. More and more ceremonies and receptions are being held at the same location. This is a cost you can simply do without.
RSVP Cards: Typically you would buy a rsvp card, an envelope for it and postage. Save yourself someone and have your guests RSVP on your wedding website. Many wedding websites are free and allow you to communicate with your guests and keep track of who's coming easily without costing you anything.
Wedding Programs: Your guests won't miss a wedding program and the only one who needs to know the order of ceremony is your officiant.
Menus: Another non-essential item that your guests won't miss. They'll see what your serving if it's a buffet and if you've given them a choice of meal, they already know what they're getting.
Take a closer look at your budget. Choose 3 thing you want more than anything and let your groom choose 3. Once you've established that it will be easier to eliminate things that aren't as important to you.
