A Low Budget Wedding That Will Impress Your Guests

There are two ways to plan a Low Budget Wedding. First, let's look at the tacky way. You could have a settle for wedding. There are many penny pinching ways that you can use to cut the cost of your wedding.

• Invite fewer guests
• email the invitations
• You could buy a used wedding dress and your bridesmaids, (if you have more than one), could do the same
• You could make your own table decorations and wedding favors
• Bake your own cake
• Hold your wedding reception at home or at a friends house
• Have a 'pot luck' reception and let your guests bring the food
• Cut out the limousines and use taxis

Let's face it. This is not the wedding you dreamed of, is it? And now, plan B. Namely, to have the wedding that you always wanted but to get it at a price that you can afford. Is it really possible you ask. Yes it is, but you will need to know your opponent.

The wedding industry is an industry just like any other and it is motivated by profit. Everything associated with weddings has an inflated price tag. Turn ordinary flowers into wedding flowers and watch the cash register spin. When you see the price tag on a wedding dress, you wouldn't believe what it actually cost to make it.

And then there are all the add ons that give the extra something your wedding day. At least that's what they'll tell you. In reality, it is benefitting them more than you. All the wedding vendors have their ploys to extract more money out of you. No wonder the average cost of a wedding is now over $26,000, largely due to this budget creep.

So do you have to miss out on some the things that you would really like for your big day? Not on your life. You just need some foreknowledge so that you can turn the situation to your advantage. The outrageous prices associated with weddings leave lots of of room for discounts. Especially in these hard economic times. The wedding industry is feeling the pinch too.

Armed with the right information, you can save half or more on the cost of almost every wedding item. Your Low Budget Wedding can still be the stylish affair that you always dreamed of, without breaking the bank. And you can decide whether you tell your friends how much it really cost.
