1. Cut Your Wedding Guest List – Do you really need to invite your entire office, when you only talk with only a few people? Does your distant cousin or aunt who you speak with only twice a year really need a invitation, knowing that they will end up spending several hundreds of dollars to fly to your wedding, get a hotel room, pay for food and transportation? Wedding Savings of $1,000= 20 People at $50 per Person

1. Choose a Wedding Venue that will be memorable…Not Expensive – Sure it would be great to have a lavish wedding at the high end hotel or resort in Palm Beach or Santa Monica, but why when people will be more interested in the people, food, drinks, and music? Consider a religious organization or your local park with a great outdoor backdrop. You would be surprised by what you can find at your local parks and recreation locations. Wedding Savings of over $1,000 depending on your location.

1. Buy your Liquor Wholesale – There’s a reason you bought that Sam’s Club or Wal-Mart membership…to save big $$$$. Use it to buy your own alcohol for your wedding and you can save $1,000’s of dollars. Alcoholic beverages are one of the highest priced items at your wedding, why pay top shelf when you can provide the liquor ahead of time, and get a local bartender to tend for much cheaper than at the higher priced country club. Over $1,000 in Wedding Savings

1. Serve the Best Wedding Food at the Best Price for You – Contact your favorite restaurants and negotiate a catering deal. In this economy, local restaurants will work within your budget just to get the additional business, plus if you have your event early in the day, they will definitely work with you to accommodate. Wedding Savings of over $1,000

1. Do you really need a 5 Tiered Wedding Cake? – Sure it is beautiful, and will look great when you and your hubby are taking pictures, but do you really want to spend that much on a wedding cake? The best way to save on your wedding cake is to find a local baker and have them create a small cake just for you and your spouse for pictures, cutting, etc. and then have sheet cakes on stand-buy ready to be served. If you have fed your guests well, and given them unlimited alcohol, they will barely have any room for cake. Wedding Savings of up to $1,000.

1. Those Wedding Invitations Cost How Much? – Make your own! I know time is of the essence when planning your wedding, but so is saving money. Why not create your own invitations that people will actually want to put on their refrigerators. Check out your local stationary store for ideas and paper selections, and then find a local college kid studying graphic design, who would be more than happy to help you out for a few bucks an hour. Plus if they do a great job, you can refer them new business! Wedding Savings of up to $1,000.

1. Wedding Flowers are Expensive, Here’s How to Save on Yours – Choose flowers that are in season. This will cut costs considerably. Instead of buying a whole bouquet for each bridesmaid, consider a single flower with a nice chiffon or ribbon. People will not know the difference, less is more! Wedding Savings of up to $1,000

1. Wedding Decorations to Make People Talk, and Save you Money – Why buy expensive centerpieces using flowers and crystal when you can be more creative and people will not even know the difference. Fish bowls, votive candles, picture frames, and even rocks and great ways to make each wedding centerpiece unique and memorable. Wedding Savings of $1,000

1. Hey Mr. DJ – I know you have been to extravagant weddings with 5 piece bands that could play a real good Frank Sinatra, but you want something that is a little more upbeat and less expensive. Look for local talent, small bands and even DJ’s if you want a more diverse set of music. Cut the playing time down by an hour of two and you will save even more. Why not consider an hour of karaoke to make things more exciting and a big laugh for the video! Wedding Savings of up to $1,000!
