How to Plan a Wedding on a Budget


Planning a wedding is not an inexpensive task! In fact, some weddings can reach upwards of thousands of dollars. However, it is important to realize that this is a once in a lifetime experience, and it should certainly include many wonderful details. But, you will still want to save as much money as you can as you plan yours.

In order to ensure that you are being fiscally responsible when planning your happily ever after, you will want to create a budget.

We understand how important it is for couples to stick their wedding budget! That’s why, here at Signature Occasions, we have comprised some tips to assist you with planning your own big day on a budget. Would you like to discover what these ways are? If so, you be sure to continue reading:

  • Your Date. Did you know that the date you choose for your wedding could potentially save you some money within your budget? While most weddings are hosted on weekends, you should consider presenting yours on a weekday. Wedding vendors often showcase cheaper prices on weekdays, as they are off days for them. So, take advantage of the deals that you could be presented with.

  • Your Guest List. With more guests, means more details that would need to be purchased. So, forgo inviting your second cousins’ twice removed ex-wife, or acquaintances that you rarely speak to, and instead keep your guest list intimate. This way, less food, space, and other details will need to be planned for, which will overall save you money.

  • Your Presentation. Many elements will need to be purchased for your wedding reception seating, such as tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces…the list goes on and on. However, if you present your wedding reception seating to showcase long rectangular tables lined up, rather than an array of round tables, you can actually save money! With less tables, less linens, centerpieces, and floral arrangements will need to be purchased. What a wonderful way to save money!

Saving money when planning a wedding is certainly anticipated by couples! These are just a few tips to assist you with doing so.
