Cheap Wedding Ideas For You
Can't afford a costly wedding and need some cheap wedding ideas? Weddings are notoriously expensive, but there are ways to cut costs and still have a GREAT wedding! Here are some ideas: * LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION is a way to cut a big cost from a wedding. The picture here, is from a wedding I attended
and although they didn't spend tons of money, it was a beautiful backyard wedding! So, instead of renting a reception hall or other costly location, a big cost of the wedding budget, there are other things you can do to
find cheap wedding locations.
* CHEAP WEDDING INVITATIONS are one way to cut costs and one of the great cheap wedding ideas! Stamps are 44 cents and rising...that means, one invitation, without the cost of printing will cost at least 88 cents! Add on the printing and you can spend 100s of dollars, just to send out invites!

And, while you're thinking about cheap invitations, you should definitely look into creating one of those
personalized bridal websites or wedding websites.
They let people know the details of the wedding and your love story. It's better than an invitation! And, you can do them for free on many sites!
* CHEAP WEDDING DRESSES are something else to consider. Who really needs to spend $1000s of dollars on a dress you're going to wear once? There are numerous online stores like - Stylish Bridal - Find the Perfect Dress for Your Special Day and Pay 70-80% Less! There are other options too, so make sure to check out these other great ideas on where to
find cheap wedding dresses.
* CHEAP WEDDING FAVORS are another way to cut costs. These are the little trinkest your guests take home from your wedding. And, let's be honest here...how many times have you really used the wedding favors you've received from weddings? There's no need to spend a fortune on them. Check out these ideas for
Cheap Wedding Favors!
* MAKE YOUR OWN WEDDING CAKE and save money too! You'd be surprised how much one teeny tiny...okay, huge, cake can cost you. I mean, it's just flour, sugar, and eggs, right? * MUSIC can be expensive if you're going to hire a DJ or a band. What about using an MP3 player instead and loading it with your favorite dance songs? You may need to rent speakers, but they're much cheaper than a DJ. Maybe a friend can keep an eye on the MP3 player for you, but otherwise...let it play!!!! It's not like the DJ ever says anything that exciting between songs! Need ideas for your dance playlist?

And, for any special dances, you can have a separate playlist. It's something to think about if you're looking at cheap wedding ideas!
*CREATE A HONEYMOON REGISTRY:
Can't afford the wedding much less a honeymoon? Create a honeymoon registry and have your guests help pay for the honeymoon, instead of some of the usual gifts. Choose from sites like Traveler's Joy Honeymoon Registry to create a trip you'll both remember with help from the wedding/bridal shower gifts.
* SUBSCRIBE TO A BRIDAL MAGAZINE: Yes, they cost money for the subscription, but perhaps you can encourage a friend or relative to buy one for you as an engagement present! The whole point behind getting a monthly magazine, is the ideas. Even if they're ideas that you could never afford for your wedding, maybe you'll get some inspiration on doing something similar that will fit into your budget. Have no idea what bridal magazines are out there?
