In our daily perusing of the internet, we came across an article titled ‘How to Save Money at Your Wedding’ from the Citizen Times. The article offered many great tips and suggestions for trimming costs as you plan for your big day. To read the full article, please click here.

The following are excerpts from the article:

- ‘Set a budget and stick to it.’

- ‘Schedule the wedding on a Friday or Sunday.’

- ‘Ask wedding vendors you’re dealing with for discounts.’

- ‘If there is another wedding at your location that weekend, ask the couple if they’d share costs for the ceremony flowers. Or use your ceremony flowers at the reception.’

- ‘Use disposable dinnerware instead of china and glass.’

- ‘Have a mid-afternoon wedding and serve cake and punch or champagne, instead of having a meal.’

- ‘Check resale shops for gowns and tuxes that have never been worn, or with minimal wear.’

- ‘Borrow items like the cake knife or toast goblets, the ring bearer pillow or flower girl basket, if you’re interested in having these traditional components.’

- ‘Instead of spending money on individual favors for guests, make a donation to your favorite charity and place a nicely written note on each table telling them ‘In your honor, a donation has been made to…’

- ‘Make use of talented friends who might be musicians, photographers, chefs, or dress designers.’
