Saving Money on Your Wedding and Finding Cheap Solutions

Thursday August 17, 2006
Wedding planning right now seems to be all about trying to manage the budget and finding a caterer that we can afford. Living in New York City, it's very easy for a wedding to get expensive very quickly. But my fiance and I are trying to keep the budget low in spite of the size of our guest list. We could go into debt or ask our families to give more but right now I'm trying to remember that it's not more money that will make the day more memorable or more romantic.

If you're struggling with your budget, you might want to check out Top 10 Ways to Save Money and Have a Cheap Wedding. Some of the tips I'm trying to keep front and center right now are 1)Be honest with vendors about your budget, 2)Using friends and family when possible and 3)Getting help with saving money. It's not easy, but I know we'll find a caterer that will work with us.
