Budgeting

Have you looked at your wedding budget lately trying to find a way to cut costs?  I thought I might give you some ideas on where you should first look to cut costs.

1.  Cut your guest list.  Make sure you really want to invite all the guests you are anticipating.  The number of guests effects you rentals, catering and floral.  Cutting back on the number of guests can dramatically change your overall total.

2.  Champange Toast.  When is the last wedding you went to and you could not wait for the champange?  I would guess, never.  You might want to just have the guests toast with what they are drinking and only do a toast for the peopel actually giving a toast.

3.  Bar.  To cut back on the overall bar cost you might want to host beer and wine only.  This will allow you a little bit more control over the alcohol cost, and still allow your guest to feel as if they are being taken care of.

Tommorow I will post on where not to cut your costs!  Hope this helps.
