He's popped the question. The ring is on your finger. Now comes the stressful part. You'd like to throw the wedding of your dreams, but you're not Donald Trump's kid. What will you do?
Statistics say the average wedding costs $20,000. Most young girls dream of the fairy tale wedding: long white gown, 8 bridesmaids, a sit-down dinner, the band everybody dances to.
Many brides have been dreaming about their wedding day since childhood. These dreams come with an expensive price tag and the realization of their fairytale day may be distant. Yet weddings are very costly nowadays, your dream day can happen. I am going to share some tips to cut corners and save money without making huge sacrifices.
By taking the time to plan and investigate, you will be surprised in the amount of money that you save. Would you arrive at an interview for your dream job without prior preparation? No, you would not and that is why preparation and study will make your wedding a success without re-mortgaging the house!
It's only natural to want the Cinderella fantasy wedding, complete with ice sculptures, a heavenly cake, and thousands of guests who've flown in from around the world to be fond of the accompanying dinner. It's only human to cry at the bill that this dream can rack up.
Costs can add up fast. Factor in the meal, the liquor, the music, the dress, the flowers, the photographer, the decorations and the perfect wedding can seem way out of your league. But it doesn't have to be.
How can the average person have a beautiful wedding with all the bells and whistles on a working person's salary? Perhaps the 3 letters/words that say it best are - DIY (do it yourself!)
Spending your life savings on your big day is crazy. You can have elegant, beautiful weddings without breaking the bank.
Having a cheap wedding doesn't mean giving up style or sentimentality. It means using your imagination, using your own hands or the assistance of friends and family. Ask anyone you know to help out. Almost everyone will be happy to oblige. They'll be part of your special day which makes them special as well!
We'll explore ways to save on all aspects of your wedding. Don't think you have to give up anything because it can all be covered. All it takes is the cooperation of your family and friends coupled with a little positive self-talk and perseverance.
I have been married twice (don't worry, I got it right the second time!) For both of my weddings, I had amazing ceremonies and receptions for around $2,000. They were the talk of the town both now and then. Throughout this book, I will tell you what we did to savemoney and still have an amazing wedding/reception. Hopefully, you can gain some insight into a dream event for not a lot of money - just like we had!
Let us show you how to throw a perfect wedding on a shoestring budget!
