Rethink The Wedding Budget To Cut Cost

Rethinking Your Guest List

Being inclusive of loved ones is very much a part of your coming together. There are many ways to include your family and friends in your wedding.  The first place to begin to reduce cost is to rethink the guest list and create two lists.

One list is a guest list for your wedding ceremony and the second guest list includes the guest list for your celebration.  You celebration can happen on the day of your wedding or after.

Luncheon Rather Than Dinner

Plan your wedding ceremony before noon and share a luncheon rather than a dinner with your family and friends. This will cut your cost of your celebration meal in half.

Petite Wedding

Plan a small intimate wedding that includes the ceremony, a campaign toast with a cake cutting.  This is easily done by planning a wedding ceremony near 2 pm.  People can make their own plans for the evening and so can you.

Gathering The Clan

If you would like to have your wedding ceremony be a very intimate event you can plan to have your celebration gathering after your honeymoon.  If you wait for your photos from the wedding and your honeymoon you can play them on a loop at the gathering.

The gathering can be casual or formal, whatever your budget affords. A simple home gathering with favorite family recipes can be a rich fulfilling sharing of your joy and happiness.

Focusing On Your Ceremony

Minimizing hosting is the general theme.  Using a smaller location for your wedding ceremony will cut cost considerably. Embracing a casual theme rather than a formal theme will also cut your cost.

Phases Of Coming Together

Your wedding ceremony is about joining your two hearts and the more intimate your ceremony the more you can focus on each other. To build a strong marriage you want to include the support of your loved ones. There are endless ways to do so.

On your wedding day it will become clear that sharing a meal with friends isn’t as valuable to your marriage as sharing an extended time away together.  Now you know in advance and you can plan accordingly.

Focus on your joining and including your loved ones in ways that are rich and deep. Rethink it and get it to work for the two of you.  It is the beginning of your future.
