Planning a romantic wedding on a budget can be done even if it does not sound very romantic. It is reckoned that 50% of all weddings fall into this bracket. However rest assured that there is no reason why your romantic wedding needs to any less memorable for all the right reasons and still make a great impact on your guests. However it requires just that little bit more effort in planning a wedding on a very tight budget and stick to it so costs are kept strictly under control.

One of the first things to consider when planning a wedding on a tight budget is to work on those areas which would normally be the most expensive. Generally these would include any food and any drinks served at the reception, your outfits and accessories, wedding and reception venues along with still photos and camcorder you may be taking of the wedding and reception. But that is no major problem as there are lots of methods that you can use to save costs. One of the dozens of ways we suggest on our website is to think about the jobs which you would normally pay people to do and ask family members or your friends to share part of that job. You will be amazed to see how two or three of your friends who hardly know each other can become good mates whilst sharing the work between them.

If you think about it most weddings require that the venues indoors or out need to decorated in some way or other.

Your guest's body clock can make a big difference on your reception bills. For example, people tend to expect to eat more at certain times of the day so simply avoid them if you can. If you go for a wedding very late in the day people will usually eat less than they would have at mid-day. However your alcohol beverage bill could be higher as people drink more at that time of the day. Early morning weddings tend to be a lot cheaper as breakfast meals are generally smaller and fewer people will be drinking expensive alcoholic drinks such as wine and spirits at that time of the day. Visit our website to see what other savings can be made in this area simply by changing the wedding time.

Why not personalize your wedding invitations by making them yourself? Do you really need to pay a commercial printer when you could handwrite them and make them mean so much more to the receiver.
