Hello lovers. If you are thinking of traveling, buying an apartment and have other plans in place (apart from the wedding), we share with you these infallible tips to shine together and organize a memorable party (at low cost).
1- Calculate the number of guests
Check this out, if you invite a few people, the wedding could be more expensive.
The caterers give you a discount depending on the number of guests.
Calculate your number of guests (avoid inviting the friend's cousin's cousin).
Make quotes in several banquets and check what is cheaper: VIP wedding with few guests or a mega wedding party. Compare prices and strike a balance between cost and quality of your event.
2- Rent your outfit
We know that you may not like this option, and we understand the sentimental part, but are you going to wear your wedding dress or your groom's suit again?
If we see it from the “minimalist” point of view, that money could be used for a flight, for example.
3- The advantages about wedding planners
It's convenient for you to hire a wedding planner if you chose to put together a mega wedding; Wedding planners usually work with suppliers, with whom they can negotiate prices and promotions for your event.
On the other hand, if it is a more relaxed wedding event, organize everything yourselves (the key is not to stress out).
4- Are the “souvenirs” necessary?
It's outdated that you keep the centerpiece from the parties.
The experiences are what are valued much more. Make them part of the event.
For example: Buy sparklers for your guests to greet both of you when you arrive at the room.
Get creative with the desserts table.
Before the wedding, ask someone to put together a surprise video in which your guests give both of you messages of good vibes.
5- Choose wisely the date of your party
Low wedding season is late October, November, and early December.
May, July, and September are the months with the highest demand each year. Holidays are also in high demand.
Remember that renting a place on Friday or Sunday is always cheaper than any Saturday.
6- Do not leave the city
The expense is going to get tough if you decide to have your party on the beach or in another town. Save the transportation and lodging of your guests.
7- Set a spending limit
Answer these 3 key questions:
What is the most you are willing to spend?
What can't be missing at the party?
How are you going to achieve that goal?
Considering these and the number of guests, build a budget and review how much each one has to save to achieve your goal together.
Fun fact saved for last: In recent years, there's been a growing trend of couples who prefer to get married alone or put together a small wedding in order to spend less in exchange for more travel experiences.
Wishing you good vibes for this new beginning.
