Marriage is the Beginning, Not the End

Maybe you feel that marriage is the final destination of your journey to find a partner. But in fact, marriage is just the beginning of your life with your partner.

Therefore, you should be wise in calculating the wedding budget and saving on wedding costs so that you can start your wedding well.

Don't always think that weddings have to be luxurious and expensive.

Many couples make this mistake: lavish parties that cost millions of dollars but don't have a house, a car, an investment, or even an emergency fund.

Do you want to be one of them? Of course not, right?

Smart wedding budget tips

When planning a wedding, couples often face stress due to being required to make careful planning with limited funds.

But actually, you can hold a wedding cheaply and still memorable.

There are still many alternative wedding vendors who offer offers that are not too expensive with memorable results.

If you also want a luxurious and beautiful wedding without the need to spend a lot of money, here are some tips for planning a budget wedding fund for you. We see below:

1. Use digital invitations

As technology advances, you no longer need to use paper or card invitations that are worth thousands of dollars.

Now you can use digital wedding invitations, especially for your friends, so the cost of wedding invitations can be minimized.

You can save a lot of money because you can get digital invitations very cheaply, even for free.

But usually, you still need a physical invitation to a close relative that must be respected.

If you keep printing the invitations, ask for a softcopy of the invitation to be used as a digital invitation.

But if you decide to go completely digital, you can look for affordable invitation design services.

2. Reduce the number of invitations

Have you ever seen your friend's wedding which was filled with work relatives and distant relatives of their parents?

a stranger on your own wedding day, why invite a lot of people who are not close to you?

Weddings are intimate events. Therefore, you do not need to invite too many people.

Invite family and close relatives who will make the wedding moment even more memorable.

3. Take advantage of the skills of friends and relatives

If you have relatives or friends with certain skills, for example, photography or make-up artist, there is nothing wrong with using the services of friends to save costs.

Besides being able to get a friend's price which is certainly cheaper, of course you will feel more comfortable because your wedding vendor is a close friend.

4. Minimize the cost of souvenirs

Nowadays wedding favors are getting more creative. For example ornamental plants or leather passport covers.

However, these souvenirs certainly require a lot of money.

But don't worry, you can make your own wedding favors that are more useful at affordable prices.

Now there are many DIY (do it yourself) souvenir ideas on the internet.

5. Minimize the cost of family uniforms

Buying materials and sewing uniforms for the family is a waste.

It's true, wedding photos will look neater when the colors and materials are the same.

However, there is an easy trick to outsmart it and get similar results, namely by asking the family to find their own clothes but with a uniform theme color.

Even though the materials are different, the photos will look neat and uniform without the need for additional costs.

6. Choose an affordable venue

It is true that one of the biggest costs in a wedding is the rent of the building.

Then what are the tips?

You can still enjoy a memorable wedding by choosing a cheaper venue, for example:

• Pine forest
• Flower garden
• Poolside
• Museum, etc.

Most importantly, the wedding location is safe and easy to access.
