Answer 1

Here is something that i did so save on money. Instead of center pieces (they are so expensive) i purchased white votive candles at a craft store (in bulk they are really cheap) and red rose peddles from a florist. We had the peddles scattered along the middle of the tables with several candles to go along. It was beautiful. Also, instead of buying or renting table clothes, i purchased queen sized flat sheets (they are about $9 a sheet) no one knew the difference. We didn't worry about the table seating cards, no one would end up staying in that seat anyway and why not let everyone sit where they want (makes it easier when you have some tension in the family). Also, a good money saver is to use fake flowers at the reception. If you get them from the right craft store, they look VERY REAL and so much more cheaper...and, you'll have them later.

Answer 2

Well probably the cheapest wedding I can think of is why not have all your relatives help in making everything for the wedding. Have an aunt who sews make the dresses. Have an uncle who knows how to Bar-be-que do the catering with someone to help him. Sorta like have someone make potatoe salad, someone for making the cake, and so on. MAke sure that the only money you really have to pay is for the material, food and of course the wedding dress. ANd make sure that when someone volunteers to do sopmething make a contract so they won't back down at the last minute. AND on the flowers have all the women and men who can make flower arrangement go out in teh neighborhoods and collect flowers. SOme people who know that the flowers are for a wedding will gladly donate them so they just won't just wilter away in their garden. But if you do that make sure you invite them to the wedding. ALso make the bride and groom together and make a rough draft of the wedding invitions and make them in a computer,it's cheaper taht way. Also it looks nice if you find someplace like a park with a gazebo or a nice back yard you can use for free. Some people would love to have awedding in their back yards, just make sure you clean up after. But almost everything is practically free and it will look nice too, as long as everybody helps.

First of all I would refrain from using the word "cheap"...no one wants to have a "cheap" wedding, but they would not mind having a "Inexpensive" Wedding. Then you give them idea's such as....
#1 plan and save ahead of time (avoiding big payments)
#2 shop local craft stores and check out there bulk buying
(silk flowers, candles, holders, decorations)
#3 make there own arch to stnd under
#4check out dollar stores for invitations, envelopes ect..
#5 make a menu ahead of time and ask friends and
relatives if they would not mind making a large dish to
pass that would be considered there gift to you.
#6 Find Relative or Friend that can make your dress/outfit, you
pay for the material and their labor is considered your gift.
#7 Check local stores for sales on pop ect.. stock up on it.
#8 Can also purchase throw away, plates, utensils, cups, table
cloths.
ect..... hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck to you.

The topic for my wedding ceremony replaced into easy and stylish. the full ingredient fee me $4,seven-hundred.00 The day would be memorable because of the fact it rather is the day you and your husband grew to develop into one. you are able to truly paintings with a church hall. I have no thought the way it replaced into adorned. I have been given my centerpieces on the dollar tree. They consisted of a silver tray with a fishbowl on best. A floating white candle interior and a single white calla lily beside the bowl. They have been beautiful, and no person cared how plenty I payed for them because of the fact they appeared great! another great the thank you to shrink fee: a million. Have a photos scholar do your photos. they are extra no longer expensive, extra versatile, and merely as good. 2. Cater your very own experience. Have a buffet type dinner with trays out of your close by deli and bring shop. 3. Use fake flora anyplace a hazard. people won't observe. Plus, they are extra no longer expensive than actual flora, and actual flora, observing the type, tend to dry out or wilt in the process the day. 4. Use your ipod and the sound device rather than a dj. returned, it works the comparable and it rather is extra no longer expensive. 5. Print your very own invites and classes. you are able to desire to purchase beautiful programs at Michael's for extra or less $20.-$40. in line with container of 50. they are fairly plenty fool evidence! a great thank you to decorate the hall is to apply a lighted archway on the front, use flowy fabric to furnish it a romantic experience, and don't underestimate the potential of candles! so some distance as telling your cousin is going, merely tell her which you and your husband-to-be desperate to pass with a diverse venue. you do no longer owe her an explaination and it won't be a contest between you. the two certainly one of your days will make certain and excellent for you as persons! Congratulations and robust success!

Answer 5

Perhaps this isn't the best idea. If you don't know that it's "ideas", not "Ideal's", their and not there, and that "cheap" isnt a great word to use, then writing may not be the best bet for you.

Your best bet would be to scour the answers already given and read over wedding etiquette books.

Answer 6

I got married in Vegas, was able to use a wedding package, and found a place that had some good deals on hotel rooms.

Was able to borrow my dress (got lucky there), and kept the guest list small....

Answer 7

I would change the title.
Make sure you have a budget guideline in it. I would offer a few in expensive table center pieces that can easily be made by yourself.
Spring-rose bowls with single gerber daisy surronded by tealights (approx 4.00) deppending on flower cost in your area)
Summer- sand candles with nice flat stones in wedding colours surrounding(approx 7.00 a table if you make candles yourself) or betta fish in mini bowls (approx 6.00 a table depending on cost of fish in your area)
fall -mini pumpkin tea lights surrounded by leaves(cost under 4.00 a table)
winter- candles made from wine glasses surronded by wreathes made from garland with flowers on them(I did this one for mine total cost was under $5.00 a table)
I also recommend ebay for wedding dresses I got mine from giannabridal and it is gorgeous and total cost was 320.00 with my flowergirl dress included and alterations the dresses are made to your size.
Weddings near big Holidays like Christmas are cheaper as most halls are already decorated Christmas decorations can be reused every Christmas and come in almost ever colour now.
A trick I used was knowing we had a wedding near Christmas I bought a Christco hamper so I didn't have a grocery bill before my wedding and I had loads of food for my guests.(Christco is a Christmas hamper program that is also available in the summer that you pay a monthly amount and they deliver your food to you before Christmas or before summer holidays)
I also bought my wedding ring and invites on ebay.
I made sure to buy only new stuff on ebay not used. Invitations for 100 were 90.00 this included candy wrappers,Invitations, RSVP postcards(some places this means cheaper postage),and scrolls. I used raffta to tie my scrolls it looks nice and is cheaper than scroll rings.
I also used my wedding cake for the late lunch and still have a layer in my freezer.

Answer 8

♥ ♥ use a single rose instead of bouquets.... put disposable cameras on the tables along with a note for it to be used to take photos of the goings on NOT for them personally...♥ ♥
