Planning Budget Weddings

Planning a Budget Wedding for Beginners -
Brides can learn to outsmart the billion dollar wedding industry.

Now that you've gone and gotten yourself engaged, you have a lot to think about! When are you getting married and who's going to attend? Will your wedding dress make you look like a princess, a film star or a model in a wedding magazine? Do you have to invite you’re your old school chums—even the ones you weren't especially chummy with? What in the world is a destination wedding, and can you afford one? 

The Wedding and Bridal Industry: Big, Booming Business

If the words "budget wedding" make you feel slightly depressed, take heart: you can have a gorgeous, romantic wedding while keeping to a fairly strict budget and without depriving yourself of the things that make you happy. It takes creativity and planning, but then so does marriage! Thanks to smart advertising, weddings are responsible for huge amounts of money (more than $70 billion annually!) spent on furniture, housewares and appliances, not to mention new homes! But you don't have to play that game: the modern bride knows that romance doesn't have to be costly, and that a low cost wedding is a smart move. Go into debt for a reception? Never! Pay thousands of dollars for a hand-beaded crystal bodice wedding gown that you're going to wear once? Fat chance. Put your foot down; and then put down that tiny satin shoe that represents a month's rent on a nice apartment. You can do better, and for less.

Choosing your wedding favors is one of the most fun budget planning activities. The Internet by far offers the best selection and prices of wedding favors today. Many of these vendors will sell multiples of one item to you at near wholesale cost, which is more of a cost saving than any overpriced bridal boutique would give you. Even if you are making your own unique favors to save a little money, these wedding favor online retailers sell wedding packaging supplies that will make your favors so beautiful that they can double as table decorations at your reception (a very budget savvy idea).
