Tip On Saving Thousands

I just wanted to share with all of you some of the things that I’ve done so far that have helped me save thousands!


1. Booked with my venue for a Thursday wedding. If I had it on a Saturday it would’ve been 10,500 just to reserve the date and $14,500 minimum for catering. Having it on a Thursday is only 2500 and 4500 minimum for catering. 2. No limo service3. I’m using fifty flowers instead of a florist4. Using a videographer instead of a photographer. 5. Having Polaroids on each table for guests to take real authentic fun photos that my FH and I will add to a wedding book. 6. DIY hair n makeup. I’m a licensed cosmetologist.7. Dollar store candles! My venue charges a lot for decor so I plan on dying most of my decor. Dollar store candles help make everything look wonderful.8. Went through my DJ for up lighting Instead of my venue. 9. Having an ordained friend be our officiant10. CUTTING FOWN ON THE GUEST LIST. My FH and I made it a point to only invite the people that we truly want to attend our wedding. We initially said we were only going to have a 65 person wedding and then magically that list grew into about 110 people. We reassessed our list and we decided no obligation invites and only the people that we know will attend. We were able to get the guest list down to 85.
Hope all of these tips help and if you have any suggestions for me or comments I greatly welcome all both positive and negative
