Reduce Wedding Cost

Before I’m too far talking about wedding ideas and all the inspiration, I have this information for you. I hope this information can help you summarize where all your money goes when held a wedding, and also some suggestion, here they are:

1. Ceremony Venue and reception : rent a church and venue that appropriate to your budget. If you have a wide yard in your home, maybe an outdoor wedding can reduce your cost for venue. And if you don’t have it, a wedding that held in off season can be a solution to reduce the cost.
Don’t forget for the venue, you still have to think about the decoration, refers to your wedding theme. Host the ceremony and the reception in the same location also can reduce the budget.

2. Guess list : you need invitation and also guess books to record all the guess that attend your wedding. Invitation usually comes from the bride and the bride and the groom. In order to reduce the cost of printable invitation and also the price for send the invitation, I suggest you to invite people your love most, and for the rest why not invite them via online. Nowadays, it’s a common things using facebook, email or website to invite people to the wedding reception. 

3. Dress: this is the most valuable and exciting part especially for the bride. Yes the Wedding Dress. Honestly for myself, I am not suggesting for low cost, since we are married only once in a lifetime, but the trigger is we can’t use it anymore after the wedding. Instead of give it the best for your wedding dress, or adjust it with your budget. I think instead of buying dream dress with the highest cost I think you should try to go to seamstress and choose one of your favorite designs and ask her to make it for you.

4.   Entertainment: you can hire the professional wedding singer and MC, with different budget adjusted with your entertainment budget.


5.   Photo and videography:  don’t forget to capture your important moment, start from the engagement, pre-wedding until the wedding ceremony and reception. You can ask your friends to take your picture and editing it with the low cost or do some DIY photo and videography for your wedding. Nowadays, they are lots of low cost photo and videographer outside, asked their Porto and choose which one the best adjust with your budget.

6.    Food and Beverages: this is the biggest cost in the wedding I guess. Since we are going to serve the entire guest with food and beverages and all the cost depends on how much guest list that comes to the wedding. Just pick 3 appetizers, 3 main course, 3 beverages, and 1 ice cream. Make it ala buffet and make sure that the food already serve in plate, in order to prevent overload taking from the guest.

.The cake: not to big but quite cute. Since the cake is only a symbolic.

8.    Flowers and decoration: pick the simple and the easiest flower to find. To reduce the cost.

9. Favors: in Indonesia, the favors often such as CD ( the compilation love song), hand towel, pouch etc.

I think that’s all. If there is any things that you think I should compile for you well, let me know
