One of the biggest challenges in planning a wedding is how to keep expenses low but still make the occasion very memorable for all the people. It is such an arduous task that for some they would rely on the help of professional planners, which may lessen the burden of preparation but entailing huge payouts always. Often times, we overlook the reality that we can prepare the things needed by ourselves, and all we got to do is work it out smartly as possible.
Trim down your guests to only those that has special places in your lives. Give them an invitation card a month before the date with their name on it so that they will get the idea that they are the only ones who are invited. In this way, we can guarantee that the occasion would be solemn, meaningful and intimate.
It would also help if you invited some friends or relatives whom you know have skills needed for the moment, like photography, making crafts at baking. Try to ask them to do their services as their gifts for you, of which most of them will be too happy to be part of it. In fact, showcasing their talents to everybody is a moment to advertise their products for free.
If possible, avoid booking venues which are very expensive and choose those that have decent, natural and competitively priced. See that you conducted an ocular inspection before making the final decision. Go there at the approximate time of the wedding and the reception, if all of them will be held in one place.
The reception is often hailed as the secondary moment of unity during the celebration and we could just imagine how hungry the guests would be after the ceremony. By all means, you may prepare the menu and ask somebody from your relatives to cook for you. If not possible, get the services of a restaurant which served family style recipes.
For the walking aisle of the church or hallway, make use of artificial flowers instead of real ones as they tend to smell later on. If the sponsors and entourage are to have real flower as corsage, use a single bud for each of them. Be minimal about their usage because it is not worthwhile to spend big for something that will wrinkle a few minutes later.
You can print your own invitations by using colored printers and create memorabilia for those who attended the wedding. This takes a lot of time to plan and prepare, but the best thing about it is that you get to expand your creativity together. Most guests would even appreciate more on gifts made by your own hands than those from somebody else.
The wedding ring is essential in the preparation for the joyous occasion, and it is not an easy task considering the budget and taste of the couple. There are jewelry stores which offer lay away plans so you might have to avail it if the occasion is still far away. Your love and commitment should matter most, however, and that is what the ring symbolizes.
