6 Money Saving Wedding Tips in 60 Seconds

7.) Thrift your dress. I found a gorgeous vintage dress for 120USD
8.) Consider a destination wedding. Weddings in Europe are much cheaper than the US. Book off-season to save on travel costs.
9.) Network into a venue. My brother got his venue for free since it was at a vineyard that my dad's poker buddy owned. Ask around to see if anyone you know has a good property you could use
10.) Skip unnecessary events. We didn't do a breakfast the morning after, engagement party, and for my bach I just did a day at the museum with my best friend.
11.) Get legally married before the ceremony. If filing taxes jointly saves you a good deal of money, get legally married prior to the wedding if it's not happening in the same tax year.

My cousin got married and she made the young girls serve the food (I was one of them [out of 4] and I was like 10) and me grandma had sewed every single one of our aprons with our names on it. Of course she didn’t force us to, we could choose to or not but it was great

i have seen couples who spent less yet they still filed for divorce. great money saving tip is dont marry immediately after being engaged. get to know each other better or live under one roof so yall can see how your SO acts if you ever get married. some are so eager to live the bridal experience just for the short-term entitlements that comes with it.

Doing everything but the digital invites. I AM NOT ME WITHOUT MY CARDSTOCK.

My fiancée and I are preparing for our future wedding and sending out invitations. Obviously my sister is going to be there, and by text, she asked me if I was inviting her paternal side (she and l only share a mother). I didn't answer her text, and I'm hoping she'll think I'm preoccupied or something; that'll be my excuse if she asks. But yeah, I don't know. Should I invite her dad, brothers, and stepmom? This is gonna sound superficiaI, but because they're not related to me, I feel they belong to my sister, not me. Except for my sister's big celebratory days (high school/college graduation and her wedding), I don't see her paternal side. Besides, it's not like they invited me to hang or stay with them when my sister did, or traveled to my current town to watch me graduate from college. If they had, then yes, that would've influenced me to invite them.

Not true I know two people who spent very little on their wedding and both were divorced with in a year.

Or just, you know, get married at the court house and have a small reception for family?

The best way to save on a wedding is, don't get married.
