3 Dummy Proof Steps To Planning A Wedding – Keep It Cheap!

There's no shame in being stupid, some people just can't help it. However, being stupid is no excuse to not being able to plan a wedding on a budget. In fact, as long as a person follows these idiot proof steps to planning a wedding, they won't have any trouble coming in under the budget.

Steps to Planning a Cheap Wedding...

1. Decorate the Wedding, Not Ego. You don't have to have a hand carved ice sculpture of an angel to ensure your wedding is classy and sophisticated. Such decorations may look nice, but they really just show guests how pompous you are.

Simply buy simple wedding decor items in bulk, find an online wedding decoration guide (very easy to do), and then get started. By doing things on your own and avoiding the costs of a professional, you'll save quite a bit of money.

2. Feed the Party, Not the Individual. This simply means to take a step back from serving people individually and instead serve the wedding party as a whole by offering a buffet.

A buffet typically has more food choices as well as far fewer servers, if any at all. Your guests will enjoy an abundance of food choices while the budget will avoid being ripped apart by server expenses and highly priced, professionally prepared dinners.

3. Put a Lock on That Guest List. More people means more food, more drinks, more space (more decorations as a result), more cake, more tables, more chairs, more servers, and more of EVERYTHING. Invite only who you need to invite; not the entire list of people the two of you have ever come into contact with.

Remember, a larger wedding does NOT translate to a more enjoyable experience. Following this step alone will significantly help with the other steps to planning a wedding.

Follow these idiot proof steps to planning a wedding and you'll save an enormous amount of money, guaranteed!
