The Asian weddings are known for their spectacle and greatness. Also, it
has now become the norm for brides to contribute to their wedding fund. Putting
two together, couples today have to host a grand wedding event with 1000 odd
guests and pay for it. Here are some tips to make this work without drilling a
major hole in your pocket,
Prioritize Your Wedding List
Make a list of key wedding elements that are really important to you.
With your partner, discuss the list and eliminate items that you could do
without. The point is that, it is your wedding day, and you will be too busy
smiling for photographs and greeting guests and feeling too squiggly to be
bothered about that orchid centerpiece that turned out to be blush-pink instead
of baby-pink. Invest in a good photographer who will capture moments that make
for memories, or a great makeup artist who can make you look like a princess in
those memories. Once you have revised your list, set a budget and stick to it.
Plan Your Wedding During Off-Peak Times
Now this is a trick that will work if you don’t have important family
members living abroad as the wedding season coincides with
the holiday season .You can save a lot of money by opting to tie the knot on
a summer’s day in April, or a breezy beautiful afternoon in October.
Rethink Your Guest List
It almost hurt even thinking about it. But then, since you’re out to
save some money a smaller guest list is the best way to go. The bigger picture
here is that it’s more important to have a few people who truly care about you
on your wedding day as compared to a large crowd of strangers- as is the case
for most of the weddings. Did you know that you are charged per plate for the
reception? And did you know that there are folks who drop by just to pry,
socialize, and of course, eat? Give it a thought.
Go Tech-Savvy
Call in a web designer friend or an acquaintance who knows a Photoshop
trick or two, and create your save-the date/engagement announcement card
online. This will save you guys a lot of cash considering how much postal
services cost these days. Your guests will even appreciate the effort that went
into customizing and creating your little online space just for them.
Seek Help From Family & Friends
It can be trying to have a tonne of family to entertain at your
wedding and the days preceding it. Make the most of this situation and have
them roped in to do little tasks. Your Martha Stewart enthusiast aunt would be
flattered to bake your wedding cake, and your girl-cousins can catch up on all
the gossip while sewing flowers for garlands. Give your list of favorite
tracks to your little cousin brothers and ask them to make a mixed CD.
Personalize Your Wedding Venue & Service
Fore-go hotels as they come with plenty of hidden costs and taxes,
particularly for weddings. Instead, use your community hall, wedding hall or
the backyard of your home, and trust a decorator to deck it up into a beautiful
venue for your big day. Also, this allows you to use your own caterer- which is
by far a better option than cold hotel food that has always disappointed. Most
family run catering services have an incredible reputation and charge a
reasonable rate.
