Wedding Ideas

                                                  Hello My Family Happy Sunday To You!

                                    Frugal /Cheap Wedding Ideas

1.Borrow framed wedding photos from both side of the family to display at the wedding reception. Print labels that say " Bride's Aunt Polly and Uncle Bob" So that  everyone knows who they are.

2. Consider ordering fresh flowers from your grocery store and making  your own bouquets and table arraignments. Buy a few flowers get  some ribbons and see what you end up with.

3. Make your own food for your reception. Enlist your family help, but it wouldn't take much to make your own. You can make a salad , lasagna and bread, mixed veggie bowls, meatballs will feed 250 people. You can also get a  sheet cake from the big warehouse stores.

4. Look for your wedding dress and your brides maid's dresses in thrift store or off the internet for a better discount. I have seen my local thrift store with a large selection of wedding dresses at $50-100 dollars depending upon the details and the size of the dress.

5. For church decorations be creative and shop at craft stores to see what you can get and do to decorate  the church and reception.  You can get your ribbons, flowers, lace, table cloths designs  at craft stores.  You can ask the people working there what your looking for they might have some great ideas for you.

6. Don't forget your local dollar store for your wine glasses, decorations, plates and dishes, lighting. They have a ton of stuff in their inventory that you can use for your wedding day.

7 Wedding invitation you can search for some nice ones off the internet or make they yourself and go to staples to have them print it up for you. What I am seeing now is that people who are getting married are using  the internet to send the invitations. there by  skipping on the postage fees.

8 You could get married at the courthouse and have a small dinner for just the immediate family at a local all you can eat place. If you just want the basic's for your wedding.

9. For music for your wedding pick a local band or DJ and barter with them for their services. Or get a friend to make you some mixed music  cds and get a cd player  and have one of your guest play DJ for the day. changing the cds when necessary.

10. Look on Craig's list or offer up for items from someone else's wedding that are being sold for cheap.

11. For the reception for your drinks have wines, beers and juice. cut's down on the cost of expensive liquor.

12. If your doing party favors, go simple. Most people do not do much with the party favors from a wedding.  Why not put  candy in a little cute container or small vase with a ribbon around it  by each plate with  a printed paper on them saying date/name of the bride  and groom.

13. Doing your make up and hair for the bride and bridesmaids can be done by doing it yourself or have a friend who's really great with makeup and hair see if they can do it. if you must use a professional see if you can get a group discount. Same with getting your nails done think group discounts.

14.  Taking wedding photos use a professional and try and get a discount if he does the photos  and videos. You can also try and get a photographer that is just starting out I bet his prices would be better then the more seasoned one. 

15. Car services to the wedding. Forget the limos and fancy cars. Have  friends with a nice classic car drive you to the church.  who care what the bride rides up in as long as she get's there on time.
