1. Okay, so first things first - if you are not too set about the idea of having a Saturday wedding, get yourself a Sunday wedding! They are SO much cheaper and honestly, either way, your guests will be there. It was 50% cheaper just by choosing a Sunday wedding.
2. The bars can become a pretty expensive part of the big day so instead of doing a full bar, we will be sticking to beer and wine only (sodas, waters, etc.). I don't drink and our families aren't drinkers either, so this wasn't too big of a decision to make. This will save us $5 a person! Woot, woot.
3. Use yo' talents! I would like to think that I am quite the savvy crafter, so I decided that I am going to make my own centerpieces. My sisters will be helping me make all the signs throughout the wedding. We are using inspiration from Pinterest/Instagram/Youtube/Blogs and a ton of other outlets. This will save you so much! If you are interested in a few DIY's please comment below and let me know!
4. Flowers! Aggghhhh. I did my research and watched a ton of Youtube videos on how to make my own bouquet and I feel pretty confident in my abilities! We are going to order flowers in bulk from our local grocery store and have a bouquet making party with all the girls in my bridal party! I will for sure be updating you on this process!
I hope this has given you some inspiration, and thanks so much for reading! If you have any advice on how you cut costs on your wedding day, please share in the comments below. I would love to hear them!
-Sincerely, Ken
